ALL-NEW SKODA KODIAQ VRS PREMIERE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Kodiaq vRS makes its debut in this generation, presented as a performance-oriented, yet practical family SUV. The reviewer highlights the aggressive styling with blacked-out elements, standard Matrix LED headlights, and 20-inch wheels as key exterior features. Inside, the vRS trim boasts microfiber and leatherette sport seats with integrated headrests, a high-quality dashboard with attractive deco elements, and a user-friendly manual climate control interface, which is praised for being more classic than its VW counterparts. The reviewer notes the generous interior space, particularly rear legroom, and the highly flexible trunk capacity, which can be expanded by sliding the rear seats forward. Under the hood, the 2.0 TSI engine delivers 265 horsepower, offering a slight improvement in acceleration over the previous generation, and is paired with an AWD system. The adaptive DCC Plus suspension is standard on the vRS, promising a good balance between sportiness and comfort. While the price for a high-spec vRS can reach up to €60,000, the reviewer suggests it offers a compelling package of performance, practicality, and premium features for its segment.
