New Skoda cars on the Euro market. Inoffensive styling but competent VAG engineering underneath.


The Škoda Rapid has been further upgraded in terms of design and equipment. The interior space is still massive and remains outstanding amongst its competitors. The elegant Škoda Rapid offers many new technical features including new lighting and driver assistance systems, which ensure even more safety, and a new connectivity solution with Škoda Connect. This allows the occupants to be 'always online'. Furthermore, the engine range with the new 1.0-TSI three-cylinder engines is now even more efficient.

Three trim levels and the sporty Monte Carlo variant

The Škoda Rapid sits between the Škoda Fabia and the Škoda Octavia in the compact car segment. This A-segment, as it is known, represents around 36 per cent of the global automotive market. Within this vehicle segment, hatchbacks make up 42 per cent. According to industry experts, the number of this type of car sold worldwide will increase by around 50 per cent by 2020. The Škoda Rapid is still one of the most attractive models in this segment and is available in the Active, Ambition and Style trim levels, as well as the particularly sporty variant, the Monte Carlo.

New design for front and rear sections

The Škoda Rapid sets the benchmark for spaciousness amongst its direct competitors. Compact exterior, huge interior. At the front, the latest upgrade is particularly clear in the bumper's lower section where the fog lights come in a modified design. A refined chrome strip in the bumper's lower section (standard for the Style trim level), which visually connects the two fog lights, is just one of the design elements that makes the front section appear even wider than before.

The tail lights, in the brand's typical 'C' shape, now come with a tinted glass cover, which gives the Škoda Rapid's rear section an even sportier look. Several new designs are available for the wheels and wheel trims.
