MINI Countryman vs Skoda Rapid Comparison

The Mini Countryman is that one mini that is more practical when it comes to space and its SUVish character appeals to many. It brings out the key factor of great dynamics the brand is well known for yet remains exclusive in a sea of SUVs. The Countryman also feels well priced even if it is more expensive that other models of the British brand sold in India.

Skoda has made a strong statement with the new Rapid. It's done away with the diesel engine and that's a bold step. But the renewed focus on introducing more petrol models to the line-up and giving the 4 years Skoda maintenance, assist and warranty package, just gives you a perspective of how the company wants to make the new Rapid a value for money proposition. Yes, it has bargained on features and there's no automatic available yet, but that equation will change in the next couple of months. The Rapid with the 1-litre TSI offers more bang for your buck and is probably the most fun to drive compact sedan out there.
