When it comes to the Czech automaker Škoda, many present affordable and practical cars with excellent value for money. However, the brand has long ceased to be just a budget brand: its lineup now includes models that are not inferior in equipment and cost to premium German crossovers. So what is it Škoda is the most expensive for today?

In 2026, the title of the most expensive model Škoda several flagships are being challenged at once, and their prices may exceed 5 million rubles in top trim levels. We analyzed official price lists, technical specifications and owner reviews to rank the brand's most expensive cars - from compact hatchbacks with premium trim to full-size SUVs with hybrid powertrains.

1. Škoda Kodiaq RS: a sports flagship with a premium price tag

Model Kodiaq RS - this is not just the largest crossover in the line, but also the most expensive Škoda production car on the Russian market. In 2026, its starting price in the basic configuration Style starts from 4,990,000 rubles, and in the top version Sportline with all-wheel drive and 2.0 TSI (245 hp) can reach 5,850,000 rubles.

What justifies this cost? Firstly, this biturbo engine with the system 4×4 and adaptive suspension DCC, which automatically adjusts to road conditions. Secondly, the interior is trimmed in leather Nappa with contrast stitching, and the front panel is equipped with a 10-inch touch display Virtual Cockpit and head-up display Head-Up. Finally, Kodiaq RS offers up to 7 seats (optional) and driver assistance system Travel Assist, which practically implements autopilot on the highway.

  • 🔥 Engine: 2.0 TSI (245 hp) with system 4×4 and 7-speed DSG
  • ⚡ Acceleration 0–100 km/h: 6.6 seconds (faster than many “charged” sedans)
  • 🛋️ Salon: leather Nappa, heated/ventilated all seats, aluminum panels
  • 💰 Maintenance cost: from 35,000 rubles for scheduled maintenance (more expensive than Octavia by 40%)
⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Kodiaq RS on credit, the overpayment can be up to 1.5–2 million rubles due to the high cost of insurance (hull insurance for such a car costs 120–180 thousand rubles per year).
📊 Which engine would you prefer in the Kodiaq RS?
  • 2.0 TSI (245 hp)
  • 2.0 TDI (200 hp)
  • 1.5 TSI (150 hp) with hybrid
  • The engine is not important to me, the main thing is the interior

2. Škoda Superb iV: a hybrid sedan with the price of a premium limousine

If Kodiaq — it’s about space and off-road ambitions, then Superb iV demonstrates how Škoda knows how to make luxury sedans. In the hybrid version (plug-in hybrid) with an electric motor and a 1.4 TSI petrol unit (218 hp in total) the price starts from 4,750,000 rubles, and in the top configuration Laurin & Klement comes to 5,300,000 rubles.

Feature Superb iV - this is Electric range up to 60 km (according to the WLTP cycle), which allows you to save on fuel in the city. At the same time, the interior here is not inferior Audi A6: wood inserts, perforated leather trim, three-zone climate control and sound system Canton with 10 speakers. And thanks to the wheelbase 2.84 meters Legroom in the back row is comparable to business class.

Characteristics Škoda Superb iV Audi A6 45 TFSI Volvo S90 B5
Cost (RF, 2026) 4.75–5.3 million rubles 5.8–6.5 million rubles 5.1–5.7 million rubles
Power, hp 218 (hybrid) 245 250
Fuel consumption (combined) 1.5–2.1 l/100 km 7.2 l/100 km 6.8 l/100 km
Trunk volume 660 l 530 l 500 l

Interesting fact: Superb iV included Laurin & Klement equipped heated steering wheel, windshield and even wipers - options that are rarely found even among German competitors. However, there is a minus: The hybrid battery takes up part of the trunk, reducing its volume from 660 to 510 liters.

Why is the Superb iV 1.2 million rubles more expensive than the regular Superb?

The main difference in price is due to the hybrid powertrain (electric motor + 13 kWh battery), as well as premium interior trim. In addition, in iV there are options in the database that are normally Superb available for extra charge: adaptive cruise control, 360° camera, keyless entry with Keyless Go.

3. Škoda Enyaq Coupé RS: electric crossover with the price of a Tesla Model Y

First electric car Škoda in the back of a coupe-crossover - Enyaq Coupé RS — became a real breakthrough for the brand in the premium segment. Its price in Russia starts from 5,190,000 rubles, which is comparable to the cost Tesla Model Y Long Range. For this money the buyer receives:

  • 🔋 82 kWh battery with power reserve 540 km (via WLTP)
  • ⚡ Two electric motors (total power 299 hp, acceleration to 100 km/h in 6.5 s)
  • 🖥️ 13" display with support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wirelessly
  • 🌐 Over-the-air updates (OTA) for software

However, there are nuances: Charging from 0 to 80% takes 38 minutes at stations with a power of 125 kW, and home Wallbox will cost an additional 150–200 thousand rubles. In addition, Enyaq Coupé RS 300–400 kg heavier than gasoline analogues, which affects handling.

💡

If you are planning to buy Enyaq Coupé RS, check the availability of charging stations along your route on the website PlugShare. In some regions of Russia, the infrastructure for electric cars is still poorly developed.

4. Škoda Octavia RS iV: a “charged” hybrid with the price of a sports sedan

Model Octavia RS iV proves that even in the classroom C you can create a car for 4.5 million rubles, which is not inferior in dynamics Golf GTI, and in terms of equipment - Audi A4. This hybrid combines a 1.4 TSI (150 hp) and an electric motor (115 hp), delivering a total 245 hp and acceleration to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds.

What's the catch? Firstly, real fuel consumption in the city is 5.5–6.5 l/100 km (the manufacturer claims 1.4 l/100 km, but this is only when the battery is fully charged). Secondly, the trunk is reduced to 450 liters because of the battery. But in the cabin there are sports seats with lateral support, a steering wheel with paddle shifters and aluminum pedals.

⚠️ Attention: Upon purchase Octavia RS iV For loans, banks often require a down payment of at least 30% due to the high residual value of hybrid cars on the secondary market.

5. Škoda Kodiaq Laurin & Klement: luxury version for connoisseurs of exclusiveness

Equipment Laurin & Klement (named after the founders of the brand) is the pinnacle of premiumness for Kodiaq. In this version, the crossover costs from 5,500,000 rubles and offers:

  • 🎨 Exclusive body colors (Velvet Red and Race Blue)
  • 🛡️ Complete security package: 9 pillows, system Crew Protect Assist, all-round cameras
  • 🎶 Canton audio system with 12 speakers and subwoofer
  • 🔑 Keyless entry with function Keyless Go and electric trunk

I wonder what Kodiaq L&K equipped air suspension with ground clearance adjustment, which allows you to increase ground clearance up to 21 cm - a record for cars of this class. However, servicing such a suspension costs 30–40% more than a standard one.

Comparison with competitors: why is Škoda becoming more expensive?

Looking at the price tags in 5+ million rubles, it is natural to ask: why Škoda, traditionally positioned as a "people's" brand, now competes with Audi and Volvo? There are several reasons:

  1. Platform unification with Volkswagen Group: Same engines, gearboxes and electronic systems as Audi Q5 or VW Touareg.
  2. Premium materials: leather Nappa, wood, aluminum - all this is supplied by the same subcontractors who work with Porsche.
  3. Technological equipment: adaptive cruise, head-up display, level driver assistance systems Level 2.
  4. Taxes and duties: after the departure of many brands from the Russian market Škoda increased prices by 15–20%.

For comparison: Škoda Kodiaq RS in Europe it costs about 60,000 euros, which is comparable to Audi Q7 as standard. However, in Russia the price difference between Czech and German brands reaches 1.5–2 million rubles — due to localization of production (for example, Kodiaq collected in Nizhny Novgorod).

💡

The main advantage of expensive Škoda is premium equipment at a price 20–30% lower than German analogues. However, the cost of ownership (maintenance, spare parts, insurance) remains at the level of premium brands.
