About

The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT is a sporty and feature-packed sedan that stands out in its segment. Powered by a 1.0-liter TSI engine producing 108 BHP and 175 Nm of torque, it offers a fun-to-drive experience, especially with its well-tuned 6-speed automatic transmission. The car boasts a robust build quality, comfortable front and rear seats, and a sporty design with features like 16-inch alloys and leatherette seats in the Onyx variant. The Rapid Onyx AT also handles confidently on highways, with good ride quality and stable high-speed performance. While it may not offer the same level of space as some of its rivals, it is more than sufficient for a family of four. Additional features like a flat-bottom steering wheel, DRLs, and a well-integrated infotainment system enhance the overall driving experience.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT is a compelling choice for those who prioritize driving pleasure and performance. Despite its small three-cylinder petrol engine, the car delivers a thrilling driving experience, especially on highways. The 6-speed automatic transmission is well-tuned, holding revs high to ensure quick and smooth acceleration, making it ideal for enthusiast drivers. However, this focus on performance comes at the cost of city cruising comfort, as the transmission can feel less adept in urban traffic. The build quality is robust, and the car handles confidently at high speeds. While it may lack some creature comforts compared to its rivals, the Rapid Onyx AT offers great value with its competitive pricing and comprehensive warranty package.

Price

The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the Onyx variant typically ranges between 14.2 lakhs to 14.5 lakhs, depending on the location. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can go up to around 16-17 lakhs. This pricing makes the Rapid Onyx AT an attractive option, especially considering the discounts and offers that are often available. For instance, the Onyx variant with its 16-inch alloys, leatherette seats, and other premium features is particularly appealing, given its balance of performance and value.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 31 October 2021 05:45 PM The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT, although no longer in production, was a notable variant in the Rapid lineup. It featured a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 110PS and 175Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. This variant was priced around Rs. 11.69 lakh (ex-showroom) and offered exclusive features like Onyx badging, specific exterior decals, and a touch panel for the automatic climate control. I think the Onyx variant added a nice touch of exclusivity to the Rapid lineup.

Monday, 27 September 2021 01:40 PM Before its discontinuation, the Skoda Rapid Onyx AT was one of the higher-spec variants available, offering features such as paddle shifters, hill hold control, and a rear wiper with a defogger. These features were typically reserved for the higher-spec Ambition trim, making the Onyx a compelling choice for feature-conscious buyers. I believe these additions made the Onyx a strong contender in its segment.

Tuesday, 15 September 2020 08:58 AM Skoda Auto India launched the Rapid 1.0 TSI Automatic in September 2020, which included the Onyx variant. This update brought a significant improvement in performance and fuel efficiency, thanks to the new turbocharged petrol engine. The automatic transmission was a welcome addition for those seeking convenience. I think this move helped Skoda stay competitive in the compact sedan market.

Friday, 03 July 2020 05:08 PM The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT was known for its strong mid-range performance, thanks to the tuning of the transmission to complement the engines nature. This made it a rewarding drive for enthusiasts who often drove closer to the speed limit. The quick upshifts and downshifts were particularly praised for their responsiveness. I think this made the Rapid Onyx AT a joy to drive on both city roads and highways.

Thursday, 04 June 2020 04:29 AM In terms of safety, the Skoda Rapid Onyx AT, like other higher variants, came with standard safety features such as ABS and two airbags. However, four airbags were only available on the Style variant, which was just below the Monte Carlo edition. I believe safety should always be a top priority, so this was a bit of a letdown for the Onyx variant.

Friday, 15 May 2020 02:37 AM The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT featured an 8-inch touchscreen unit, rear AC vents, and automatic climate control, making it a well-equipped variant in its class. These features enhanced the overall comfort and convenience of the vehicle. I think these additions made the Onyx a comfortable and feature-rich option.

Friday, 10 April 2020 12:55 PM The design of the Skoda Rapid Onyx AT included distinctive elements such as the Onyx badge on the B pillar and specific exterior body decals, which gave it a unique identity. The cabin also featured Onyx branding on the door sills, floor mats, and cushions. I believe these design touches made the Onyx stand out visually.

Friday, 20 March 2020 12:49 AM The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT was positioned as a mid-range variant, offering a balance between features and price. It was priced competitively, making it an attractive option for buyers looking for a well-equipped sedan without breaking the bank. I think this positioning helped it appeal to a wide range of buyers.

Friday, 28 February 2020 03:28 AM Skoda India had planned to continue updating the Rapid lineup, but ultimately decided to discontinue the model in favor of the new Skoda Slavia. The Rapid Onyx AT was one of the last variants to be sold before the models discontinuation. I think this was a strategic move to refresh their sedan offerings.

Wednesday, 15 January 2020 03:48 PM The fuel efficiency of the Skoda Rapid Onyx AT was notable, with an ARAI-certified mileage of 16.24 kmpl for the automatic transmission. This made it a practical choice for daily driving. I believe the fuel efficiency was one of its strong points.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 09:52 AM The Skoda Rapid Onyx AT offers decent fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many buyers in India. In city driving, it returns around 12.79 kmpl, while on the highway, it can achieve up to 17.13 kmpl. This makes it a reasonable choice for both daily commutes and long road trips. The fuel efficiency, combined with its performance, makes the Rapid Onyx AT a balanced option for those concerned about running costs.
