Powered by a 1.0L TSI engine, it accelerates from 0-100 kmph in just 10.7 seconds, making it one of the quickest in its class. The 6-speed automatic transmission is responsive and quick, particularly in Sport mode, where it holds revs high for aggressive driving.

Inside, the Rapid offers comfortable seating, though space is somewhat limited compared to rivals. Features like cruise control, rear parking camera, and adaptive guidelines enhance the driving experience.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Rapid Style AT is a car that truly delights enthusiast drivers. With its 1.0L TSI engine and 6-speed automatic transmission, it offers a driving experience that is hard to match in its segment. The transmission is particularly impressive, holding revs high to ensure quick and smooth acceleration, making it a joy to drive on highways. However, this focus on performance comes at the cost of city cruising comfort, as the AT transmission is more geared towards speed than ease. Despite some compromises on space and creature comforts compared to its rivals, the Rapid makes up for it with its driving pleasure, decent fuel efficiency, and an attractive price point. Skodas reliability package, including a 1 lakh kilometre warranty and an affordable annual maintenance package, further sweetens the deal.

Price

The Skoda Rapid Style AT is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the Rapid 1.0 TSI Style AT starts at around 12.99 lakh. When you factor in the on-road costs, including taxes and other expenses, the price can go up to approximately 14 lakh to 15 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Rapid an attractive option for those seeking a balance between performance and value. While it may lack some of the snazzy features found in its competitors, the Rapids performance and reliability make it a compelling choice for buyers who prioritize driving pleasure.

Latest Updates

Sunday, 31 October 2021 06:30 AM Skoda has officially discontinued the Skoda Rapid, including the Style AT variant, to make way for the new Skoda Slavia. The last batch of the Rapid was produced with a matte effect, marking the end of an era for this popular sedan. I think this move will help Skoda stay competitive in the evolving Indian car market.

Monday, 04 October 2021 08:33 PM The Skoda Rapid Style AT was one of the top variants of the Rapid, offering features like automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and a height-adjustable driver seat. It also came with advanced safety features, including ABS and two airbags as standard, with the Style variant uniquely offering four airbags. I believe these features made it a compelling choice for safety-conscious buyers.

Monday, 27 September 2021 11:34 AM In its final days, the Skoda Rapid Style AT was priced between Rs 11.69 lakh and Rs 13.49 lakh (ex-showroom), making it a competitive option in the compact sedan segment. The car was known for its elegant design and robust build quality. I think the pricing was quite reasonable given the features and performance it offered.

Sunday, 15 August 2021 06:52 AM The Skoda Rapid Style AT was equipped with a 1-litre turbo-petrol engine, producing 110PS and 175Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. This combination provided a smooth and responsive driving experience. I believe this engine-transmission combo was one of the highlights of the Rapid.

Tuesday, 20 July 2021 11:19 AM Skoda introduced the Rapid Matte Edition, which was based on the top Style variant, featuring an exclusive carbon steel matte body color and dual-tone interior. This limited edition added a touch of exclusivity to the already popular Style AT. I think this was a great way to give the Rapid a fresh look before its discontinuation.

Friday, 11 June 2021 12:44 AM The Skoda Rapid Style AT boasted a feature-rich interior, including an 8-inch touchscreen unit, cruise control, and voice commands. These features enhanced the overall driving and passenger experience. I believe the infotainment system was particularly user-friendly and modern.

Wednesday, 26 May 2021 01:00 AM In terms of performance, the Skoda Rapid Style AT could accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 10.7 seconds, making it one of the quicker sedans in its class. The Sport mode further enhanced its performance, though it could feel jerky in low throttle situations. I think this performance was impressive for a sedan of its weight and class.

Thursday, 15 April 2021 07:27 PM The Skoda Rapid Style AT had a solid build quality and European styling, which were key selling points. The car also offered generous cabin space, though some found the rear space a bit cramped. I believe the build quality was one of the standout features of the Rapid.

Sunday, 21 March 2021 01:20 AM Skoda updated the Rapid with new features such as a reverse camera and 16-inch alloy wheels to keep it competitive. These updates were part of the 2017 facelift, which also included aesthetic changes to the exterior and interior. I think these updates helped keep the Rapid fresh in the market.

Wednesday, 10 February 2021 06:22 AM The Skoda Rapid Style AT was known for its comfortable ride and advanced safety features, making it a strong contender in the compact sedan segment. It offered a balance of style, performance, and practicality, which appealed to many buyers. I believe it was a well-rounded car that met various needs.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 03:21 PM The Skoda Rapid Style AT offers respectable fuel efficiency, making it a viable option for those concerned about running costs. In city driving, you can expect around 13.67 kmpl, while on the highway, it delivers an impressive 17.30 kmpl. These figures are commendable, especially considering the cars performance-oriented nature. This balance of power and efficiency ensures that the Rapid is not only fun to drive but also economical to run.
