General information and overview

The Skoda Rapid Diesel Edition X is a top-spec trim of the Rapid sedan, essentially a re-badged version of the Monte Carlo edition due to a trademark dispute. This variant comes with a 110hp, 1.5-litre diesel motor paired with a seven-speed DSG gearbox. The car features a black painted front grille, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, a black tailgate spoiler, and a faux diffuser. Inside, it boasts all-black interiors, a flat-bottomed leather-wrapped steering wheel with red stitching, red and black leatherette seats, and a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety features include dual-front airbags, ABS, ESC (for DSG models), and hill-hold control. Additional comforts such as daytime running lights, rear parking sensors, cruise control, and a cooled glove box make it a well-rounded package in its segment.

Our Verdict

Expert opinion and recommendation

The Skoda Rapid Diesel Edition X is a compelling option in the mid-size sedan segment in India. What stands out is its solid build quality, both inside and out, which has been praised for its durability and lack of rattles even after several years of ownership. The facelifted design, particularly the Edition X trim, adds a touch of elegance with features like a black painted front grille, 16-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, and a black tailgate spoiler. However, the ride quality can be harsh, especially in city drives, due to the stiff suspensions and 16-inch alloys. Despite this, the car handles exceptionally well, with precise steering and good grip on dry surfaces. The diesel engine, though noisy, offers robust performance and decent fuel efficiency. Overall, its a great choice for those seeking a stylish, feature-packed, and reliable sedan.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

Skoda has decided to discontinue the 1.5-litre diesel engine in the Rapid, replacing it with a new BS6 compliant engine. This move is part of the companys efforts to comply with the latest emission norms. The new engine is expected to offer better fuel efficiency and reduced emissions. I think this change will make the Skoda Rapid more appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.

The Skoda Rapid Edition X comes with a 6-speed automatic transmission for the petrol variant and a 7-speed DSG for the diesel variant. The car is praised for its solid build quality, mature suspension, and decent handling. However, some owners have noted minor issues like the lack of a sliding centre armrest and some turbo lag. I believe the transmission options make it a great choice for those who prefer automatics.
March 9, 2018
Skoda has introduced a 4-year maintenance package for the Rapid Edition X, priced at Rs. 29,999. This package includes all regular service costs, covering both labor and consumables. This move is aimed at reducing service costs and providing peace of mind for owners. I think this package is a great value addition for potential buyers.

The Skoda Rapid Edition X, previously known as the Monte Carlo, has been re-launched following a trademark dispute. The car retains its unique features such as a black grille, dual-tone front bumper, smoked headlights, and black alloy wheels. The interior and powertrains remain unchanged, with options for a 1.6-litre petrol and 1.5-litre diesel engine. I believe this rebranding will help Skoda avoid legal issues while maintaining the cars appeal.
November 2, 2017
Skoda India faced a trademark dispute with Monte Carlo Fashions, leading to the halt in sales of the Rapid Monte Carlo. A court ruling forced Skoda to stop using the Monte Carlo name, resulting in the car being rebranded as the Rapid Edition X. This change does not affect the cars specifications or features. I think this quick response by Skoda shows their adaptability in the market.
