RS Four Ways. Which One Will You Choose?

Electric for the first time 

The Škoda Enyaq RS and Enyaq Coupé RS have successfully transferred competition DNA into the world of electric mobility. An electric motor on each axle delivers a combined system output of 250 kW (340 hp) and all-wheel drive without the need for a physical connection between the axles. This solution enables immediate power delivery and virtually instant response. The power output is even higher than that of the professional rally competition car Škoda Fabia RS Rally2. 

The Enyaq RS and Enyaq Coupé RS are ideal partners for customers seeking a spacious and representative electric car. They will also appeal to technology and design enthusiasts. Excellent aerodynamics contribute to enhanced acoustic comfort on board and a longer driving range on a single charge. Even these dynamic variants therefore offer a driving range of more than 550 kilometres. 

The Enyaq Coupé RS delivers an elegant silhouette without compromising rear-seat comfort, while the Enyaq RS counters with a 585-liter trunk. The interiors of both models focus on sustainability and the use of durable and practical materials. In true RS spirit, they also feature sports seats and distinctive decorative elements that create a dynamic atmosphere. 

A stylish predator  

The latest addition to the RS model family is the Škoda Elroq, which offers all of the above qualities in a more compact package. It therefore also delivers a system output of 250 kW (340 hp) and 4x4 drive. At first glance, it is a predator that has strikingly developed the Modern Solid design language. Its shapes stood out particularly in the limited edition featuring a matte body paint finish. 

The Elroq RS offers perfectly balanced driving characteristics and the immediate responses typical of a sport-tuned electric drivetrain. It complements this with cutting-edge technologies, sustainability and everyday practicality. A driving range of 556 kilometres on a single charge is well above average, and thanks to charging power of up to 185 kW, the battery can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 26 minutes. 

The traditional choice 

Let us return to where it all began. The RS designation first appeared on the tailgate of a Škoda production car more than a quarter of a century ago with the Octavia. In its sportier form, this family bestseller has long since become a legend and is now in peak condition in its fourth generation. The Octavia RS performs equally well in everyday use, on a Sunday drive along favourite roads. It even has something to say on the racing circuit. 

The dynamic yet efficient 2.0 TSI engine delivers an output of 195 kW (265 hp). Combined with the fast seven-speed DSG transmission, a limited-slip differential and a sports suspension, it ensures an engaging driving experience. Customers can choose between the elegant liftback body style and the highly practical Combi estate, which offers a generous luggage compartment capacity of 640 litres. And after all, sporty estate cars are particularly appealing. 

The explorer 

If you want your RS to take you virtually anywhere, the largest member of the line-up is ready for the task. The Škoda Kodiaq RS adopts the powertrain from the Octavia RS and adds an advanced all-wheel-drive system with an electro-hydraulically controlled multi-plate inter-axle clutch, a raised and robust suspension setup, and responsive steering assistance tuning, which is a defining characteristic of all RS models 

Surprisingly, the Kodiaq RS’s strongest asset is not outright speed, but the unlimited practicality that can be combined with it. This sporty SUV is capable of towing a braked trailer weighing up to 2.5 tonnes and is also available as a seven-seater.
