About

The Skoda Rapid Onyx is a sporty and feature-packed variant of the Rapid sedan, designed to appeal to those seeking a more dynamic driving experience. It comes with a 1.0L TSI petrol engine that produces a significant surge of torque, making it enjoyable on both city roads and highways. The car features a six-speed manual gearbox with smooth shifts and a light clutch, which is a boon in congested city traffic. The Onyx variant stands out with its 16-inch alloy wheels, leatherette seats, and sporty design elements like the flat-bottom steering wheel and DRLs. It also boasts a robust build quality and mature suspension, which handles Indian road conditions well. While it may lack some space compared to its rivals, it is more than sufficient for a family of four and offers great comfort and handling, making it a solid choice in its segment.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Rapid Onyx is a compelling choice for those who prioritize driving pleasure and a premium feel without breaking the bank. I was impressed by its build quality and the excellent fit and finish, which set it apart from its competitors. The 1.0L TSI engine, though small, delivers a surprising surge of torque at around 2200rpm, making it a delight to drive, especially on highways. The six-speed manual gearbox complements the engine well, with smooth shifts and a light clutch that makes city driving manageable. However, it does lack some creature comforts compared to its rivals, but its performance and decent fuel efficiency make up for these shortcomings. If driving pleasure is high on your list, the Rapid Onyx is definitely worth considering.

Price

In India, the Skoda Rapid Onyx is priced competitively to attract buyers looking for a blend of performance and value. The ex-showroom price for the Rapid Onyx typically ranges between 12 to 15 lakhs, depending on the variant and location. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can go up to around 14.5 to 17 lakhs. For instance, the Onyx variant with 16-inch alloys, leatherette seats, and other premium features was priced around 14.5 lakhs on-road in Bangalore. The pricing strategy is aimed at undercutting many of its rivals while offering a robust build and tested platform, making it an attractive option for those on a budget.

The fuel efficiency, combined with its performance, ensures that the Rapid Onyx is not only fun to drive but also easy on the pocket in terms of running costs.
