Caught doing its thing at the Nurburgring in Germany and on the roads close to the famous racetrack, the new Skoda Kodiaq RS features a few stylistic changes over the lesser models.
The front bumper is sportier. It has a taller and narrower central air intake and reshaped side vents. Skoda gave it a new rear bumper with an incorporated diffuser and large tailpipe trim. The side skirts appear to have been tweaked, and the wheels should be exclusive to this model, which retains the same split-headlamp signature as the second-gen Kodiaq models and rear lighting signature.

The lowered center of gravity and presumably stiffer ride will improve its cornering ability. Uprated brakes likely provide the stopping power to this agile mid-size crossover, which shares its MQB Evo construction with Europe's Volkswagen Tiguan and Passat and its low-slung sibling, the Superb.
