USER OPINION

Latest Updates
Monday, 01 January 2024 06:36 AM Skoda India has announced a price hike for all its models, including the Skoda Rapid, effective from January 1, 2024. The price increase is attributed to various economic factors. This move might affect the affordability of the Rapid for some buyers. I think this hike could impact sales, especially in a competitive market.
Wednesday, 27 September 2023 06:50 PM Skoda India updated the 2017 Skoda Rapid with new features, including a reverse camera and 16-inch alloy wheels, to keep the model competitive. These additions enhance the cars safety and aesthetic appeal. I think these updates are a step in the right direction to keep the Rapid relevant.
Tuesday, 26 September 2023 01:44 PM Skoda Auto India introduced the Rapid Rider limited edition in September 2023, priced at Rs. 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This edition is based on the base Active trim but includes additional features, making it an attractive option in the compact sedan segment. I believe this move will help Skoda compete better against rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and Hyundai Verna.
Tuesday, 01 September 2020 08:49 AM The Skoda Rapid 1.0 TSI Automatic was launched in India in September 2020, offering a seven-speed automatic gearbox. This variant is aimed at buyers who prefer the convenience of an automatic transmission. I believe this addition will appeal to those who drive frequently in urban areas.
Thursday, 04 June 2020 06:58 PM In 2020, Skoda unveiled the updated Rapid with a single turbocharged petrol engine, improving performance and fuel efficiency. The car also received some cosmetic updates to align with Skodas current design language. I think this update has made the Rapid more compelling in its segment.
Sunday, 15 December 2019 10:41 AM Skoda announced plans to replace the Rapid with a new mid-size sedan codenamed ANB Sedan by the end of 2021. However, the Rapid continues to be sold in select markets like India. I believe this new model will bring significant improvements over the current Rapid.
Friday, 01 December 2017 05:53 PM The Skoda Rapid was updated in 2017 with minor cosmetic changes and the addition of a 6.5-inch colour touchscreen infotainment system. Despite these updates, it still lacks features like satellite navigation and smartphone mirroring systems. I think these omissions are notable in todays tech-savvy market.
Wednesday, 01 November 2017 06:44 AM The Skoda Rapid has been praised for its spacious interior, large boot, and comfortable driving experience. However, it lacks advanced safety features such as automatic emergency braking and lane-keep assist. I believe these safety features are crucial and should be considered in future updates.
Tuesday, 07 October 2014 07:57 AM Skoda Rapid owners have reported positive experiences with the cars reliability and performance, despite some issues with after-sales service and spare part availability. The cars durability and comfort have been highlighted in several owner reviews. I think Skoda needs to work on improving their service support to match the quality of their vehicles.
Thursday, 01 November 2012 10:01 AM The Skoda Rapid was initially launched in 2012 and quickly gained popularity for its value-for-money proposition, offering a large boot and ample passenger space at a lower price than competitors like the Volkswagen Golf. I believe this strategy has been key to its success in the market.

Overview of Skoda Rapid

The Skoda Rapid’s combined science and technology comes from the concept of the Volkswagen Vento. However, when it comes to performance, the Rapid is completely different than the Vento. Even with the practicality of its price, the Rapid is still a great performer with a good amount of features for both its petrol and diesel variants. In fact, the vehicle was awarded the Premium Compact Sedan Award by ET-ZigWheels in 2011. Rapid is a C+ segment sedan manufactured by Skoda. The Skoda Rapid is indeed a great addition to the C+ sedan car segment. Most of its parts are from the Vento’s platform including the gearbox, the diesel and petrol engines and the suspension.

Initially, it was thought to be launched as the 'Lauretta' but the company surprised the car industry when they launched it as the ‘Rapid’ in India. The Rapid will compete with the likes of the New Hyundai Verna, the Honda City, the New Ford Fiesta, the Tata Indigo Manza, the Volkswagen Vento, and Fiat Linea and to some extent with the Chevrolet Aveo. With the launch of the Rapid, Skoda India has made a critical decision. With the company’s vision to strengthen its existence in the extremely competitive C+ segment, they have launched the Rapid with confidence that the sedan will be the benchmark of Skoda cars in India. The company’s goal is to make the Rapid the bestselling vehicle in its segment in India. With the high quality design and unique fresh features, the Skoda Rapid seems it will greatly penetra
