- Skoda's largest SUV gets the spicy RS treatment.

For a long time, performance SUVs were only available if you shopped from luxury brands. However, the niche has grown to include several mainstream automakers, including Skoda.

Now, the second-generation model has landed in Europe with the Volkswagen Group’s ubiquitous 2.0 TSI engine.
