Skoda Rapid facelift launched at Rs 8.35 lakh

New Delhi: Skoda has launched the Rapid facelift on November 3, 2016, at a starting price of Rs 8.35 lakh for the base Active variant. The Rapid owns three variants and they are Active, Ambition and Style. For ambition and style, an automatic gearbox is included for both petrol and diesel engines.

The Skoda Rapid facelift top-spec petrol-manual variant costs Rs 10.44 lakh. The base diesel is priced at Rs 9.57 lakh, while the top model is near about Rs 11.66 lakh. In terms of automatics, the petrol model has priced between Rs 10.39 lakh and Rs 11.46 lakh, while the price of diesel model has scheduled between Rs 11.71 lakh to Rs 12.78 lakh.

This is the first major update for the Rapid since its launch in 2011. Till end-October 2016, the manufacturer has sold near 69,240 sedan units in India. The car possesses Skoda’s crystalline design language. Some other conspicuous features of this car are, the projector headlamps with LED daytime-running lamps, the new bumper, grille and bonnet.

The Rapid in India stylistically has many resemblances with the Rapid sold globally.  The new Rapid now gets an 110hp 1.5-litre diesel engine. Compared to its ancestor models, the Rapid facelift gets a bump in power. One engine is same while the other engine on offer is the 1.6-litre petrol, which has been carried over unchanged. Both engines are paired with a choice of manual or automatic gearboxes.

The diesel engine uses a seven-speed DSG gearbox while the petrol engine uses the old six-speed automatic unit.

Top-spec variants of this car possess a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with MirrorLink connectivity, rain sensing wipers, cruise control, footwell lighting, rear air-con vents and a cooled glovebox. Dual airbags and ABS are offered as standard in order to maintain the safety of the car. Some selected variants also contain rear parking sensors and ESP.

The new Skoda Rapid facelift will be competing with the Honda City, Volkswagen Vento, Hyundai Verna and the Maruti Ciaz.
