Skoda Rapid Sedan… One of the most awaited sedans in India for quite some time has now been launched. The Skoda Rapid has been launched in India at the starting price of Rs. 6.75 Lakhs ex-showroom Delhi for the base petrol Active variant. With this starting price, Skoda Auto clearly has a winner in its hands with the Skoda Rapid Sedan.
The Skoda Rapid more or less looks very Ventoish from the side profiles but is priced lesser than the Volkswagen Vento. The Rapid borrows the front look from the fellow stable-mate Fabia. As far as the looks are concerned, the Skoda Rapid sedan shares the looks of the Vento and this in turn would keep the costs down for Volkswagen and Skoda India. There certainly would be a lot of parts sharing between these two sedans and the development costs would not mount unnecessarily. Hence the competitive price tag on the Rapid.
The pricing is a talking point in the Rapid as the sedan is priced cheaper than the Volkswagen Vento. If you recall, the Vento when launched had a price tag of Rs. 6.99 Lakhs (Ex-showroom Delhi) for the petrol base Trendline variant. Skoda Rapid is offered in both petrol and diesel engines. The petrol 1.6 MPI engine delivers 106 bhp and 153 Nm while the diesel 1.6 liter TDI Turbo diesel engine pumps out 105 bhp and 253 Nm. As far as the transmission is concerned, the Skoda Rapid has a choice of a 5 speed manual and 6-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox.
The Skoda Rapid is offered in eight variants with Active, Ambition and Elegance being the names of the variants. The petrol version of the Rapid has been priced at Active Rs. 6.75 Lakhs, Ambition Rs. 7.09 Lakhs and Elegance at Rs. 7.99 Lakhs while the price of the Diesel versions of the Skoda Rapid is Active Rs. 7.95 Lakhs, Ambition Rs. 8.9 Lakhs and Elegance at Rs 9.19 Lakhs. The automatic variants of the Rapid read at Rs. 8.09 Lakhs for the Ambition and Rs. 8.99 lakhs for the Elegance. Skoda has played right by launching an automatic version of the Rapid as well. The buyer is certainly spoilt for choice with the Skoda Rapid.
The features present in the Active Variant are Anti glare rear view mirrors, rear defogger, rough road package, engine immobilizer, central locking, front center armrest, tilt and telescopic adjustable steering wheel, and anti pinch system.
The Ambition variant would include all the Active variants features along with Steel wheels, Body colored mirrors and door handles, ABS, driver airbag, remote control with foldable key, driver seat height adjuster and rear center armrest. The top end Elegance variant features Alloy wheels, front passenger airbag, security code for audio player, AUX ports for media player and memory card, automatic climate control, electrically adjustable mirrors and MID.
The Skoda Rapid is being offered in five attractive colors such as Cappuccino beige, Candy white, Flash Red, Brilliant Silver and Deep Black Pearl.
