The updated version of ŠKODA's award winning Kodiaq SUV reaches showrooms in the coming weeks followed by brand's halo model – the Kodiaq RS – later in the first quarter.

For the 2022 model year Skoda has dropped the 2-litre bi-turbo diesel engine from its halo all-wheel-drive Kodiaq RS model, which will now run a 180kW/370Nm turbocharged 2-litre petrol engine with a 7-speed automatic transmission as per the Octavia RS lift-back and wagon.

The 2022 Škoda Kodiaq RS will arrive later in the first quarter but dealerships can expect the all-wheel-drive Kodiaq Style and all-wheel-drive Kodiaq Sportline in the coming weeks.

Both are powered by a 132kW/320 2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine.
