Skoda vRSing around with the Kodiaq will come as a surprise to pretty much no-one. The UK likes its hot Skodas especially the police, as any motorway speed merchant will testify (in court) and among the beige dross of mid-sized crossover tedium, the Kodiaq is a rare gem. Smooth and untaxing to drive, cleverly laid out, well-made and good value. A previous TopGear award winner, no less. The hot version will be revealed in full at the Paris motor show next month. It"s going to run a 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine yep, Skoda"s still betting on diesel, even as Porsche gives up on the black pump with the Kodiaq vRS set to deliver 237bhp and 369lb ft to all four wheels through a seven-speed, twin-clutch gearbox. Until then, you"ll have to sate your lust for a super-Skodas with these moody photos of its interior. Mmm, suedecloth. Ooh, quilting. A flat-bottomed steering wheel, natch. And more red-threaded stitching than the Moulin Rouge.
