Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Rapid Style is a compelling option in the C-segment sedan market, particularly for those who prioritize driving pleasure. Despite the transition to a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine in the BS6 era, the Rapid retains its reputation as a drivers car. The engine delivers a punchy performance, especially noticeable when you hit the higher RPM range, making it a joy to drive on highways. However, the lack of a diesel option and the absence of the previous 7-speed DSG gearbox might be a disappointment for some. The cars classy, mature styling and the fit and finish of its interiors are definite positives. 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. Overall, if driving pleasure is high on your list, the Skoda Rapid Style is definitely worth considering.

Price

The Skoda Rapid Style is priced competitively in the Indian market, with ex-showroom prices starting from around 7.80 lakh for the base variant and going up to 13.49 lakh for the top variant. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from approximately 9.5 lakh to 16.5 lakh, depending on the state and city. This pricing makes the Rapid an attractive option, especially when you consider the performance and features it offers. The annual maintenance package available for just Rs 10,000 for variants above the base model adds to its value proposition, making it a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 27 September 2023 11:27 AM The Skoda Rapid Style variant was equipped with a 1.0-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 110PS and 175Nm, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 6-speed torque converter automatic. This engine combination provided a good balance of performance and fuel efficiency. I think this engine was a highlight of the Rapids driving experience.

Wednesday, 27 September 2023 03:33 AM Skoda updated the Rapid with new features such as a reverse camera and 16-inch alloy wheels to keep the model competitive. The Style variant benefited from these updates, enhancing its appeal with a more modern and sleek design. I believe these updates helped maintain the Rapids market presence.

Tuesday, 26 September 2023 03:02 AM Skoda India introduced the Rapid Rider Edition, which, although based on the base Active trim, added several features to make it an attractive option. However, the Style variant remained a step above with its additional safety features like four airbags and pretensioners for the front seatbelts. I believe these safety features were a significant selling point for the Style variant.

Tuesday, 15 August 2023 07:46 AM The Skoda Rapid Style variant stood out with its spacious interior, coupé-style silhouette, and long wheelbase, making it a benchmark for spaciousness in its segment. The interior featured decorative inlays, redesigned air vents, and a circular instrument cluster, adding to its premium feel. I think the interior space was one of the Rapids strongest points.

Thursday, 20 July 2023 07:13 PM In terms of safety, the Skoda Rapid Style variant was the most equipped, offering four airbags, height-adjustable three-point seat belts with tensioners, and front and rear parking sensors. These features made it a safer choice compared to other variants. I believe safety should always be a top priority, and the Style variant delivered on this front.

Saturday, 10 June 2023 06:08 PM The Skoda Rapid Style variant came with several comfort features, including automatic climate control, rear AC vents, and leather seats. These amenities made the driving experience more comfortable and luxurious. I think these features were essential for the Rapids appeal to family buyers.

Monday, 15 May 2023 04:52 PM Skoda offered a 1 lakh kilometre warranty package with road-side assistance for the Rapid, including the Style variant, which was a significant selling point for those concerned about reliability and maintenance costs. I believe this warranty package provided peace of mind for potential buyers.

Thursday, 20 April 2023 02:42 PM The Skoda Rapid Style variant was priced competitively, starting at around Rs. 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom), making it an attractive option in the compact sedan segment. I think the pricing was a key factor in its popularity.

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 04:43 AM The Skoda Rapid, particularly the Style variant, was known for its driving pleasure, thanks to its agile and efficient 1.0-litre TSI engine. The Sport mode allowed for more aggressive driving, making it a delight on the highway. I believe this made the Rapid a favorite among driving enthusiasts.

Sunday, 31 October 2021 01:21 PM The Skoda Rapid, including the Style variant, has been discontinued in India, making 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 compact sedan. I think this move was necessary to keep Skodas lineup fresh and competitive.

Mileage

Tuesday, 19 November 2024 09:56 AM The Skoda Rapid Style offers decent fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many Indian buyers. It delivers a mileage of 16.24 to 18.97 kmpl, depending on whether you opt for the manual or automatic transmission. In city driving conditions, you can expect around 12-14 kmpl, while on highways, it can go up to 17-18 kmpl. This balance of performance and fuel efficiency makes the Rapid a practical choice for daily driving as well as long road trips.
