Skoda Kodiaq vRS full review: aex.ae/2QsiTi3

The Volkswagen Group has gone GTI crazy in recent years, with numerous special-edition VW Golfs and new Polo and up! GTI models. It has even spun off SEAT’s performance division Cupra into a standalone brand in its own right. Skoda has experienced the complete opposite, though, with bosses being focused on building practical family cars designed to cash in on the SUV boom.

Yes, there has been the stalwart Octavia vRS but ever since the Fabia vRS hot hatch was killed off in 2013, Skoda’s performance brand has looked a little sorry for itself. Skoda is adamant the vRS badge hasn’t been forgotten about, though. As a clear statement of intent the Czech brand revealed the Vision RS Concept at this year’s Paris Motor Show, and alongside it was the Kodiaq vRS. Three months on, we’ve had our first chance to try the second of those cars.
