Pros Cons of Skoda Rapid

Pros

  • Power-packed engine
  • Impressive handling
  • Ride feels compliant

Cons

  • Rear legroom could have been improved
  • Cabin of the base trim looks dated
  • Sense of space could be improved

Verdict

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.

Pros Cons of Skoda Slavia

Pros

  • Genuinely engaging 1.5-litre TSI engine.
  • Excellent five-star Global NCAP safety.
  • Large 521-litre boot space.
  • High ground clearance for Indian speed breakers.

Cons

  • Interior plastics could be plusher in some areas.
  • Long clutch travel on the manual transmission.
  • Significant engine noise above 2,300rpm in the 1.0-litre variant.

Verdict

The Skoda Slavia is a focused premium sedan and it succeeds because it doesn't try to be an SUV. Based on road tests by the car&bike team, including Ameya Naik and Shams Raza Naqvi, the Slavia proves its strength in terms of safety, performance, and long-distance usability.

Best as

  • An enthusiast's daily driver.
  • A secure family highway cruiser.
  • A spacious, long-distance tourer.

Not Ideal as

  • A chauffeur-driven urban commuter.
  • A tech-heavy showpiece (lacks ADAS).
  • A low-maintenance automatic (DSG upkeep is costly).
