Skoda India has introduced new features on the 2017 Skoda Rapid in a bid to keep the model fresh amidst rivals. For the 2017 model year, the Rapid sedan gets the much needed reverse camera and 16-inch alloy wheels are part of the standard equipment list. The new alloy design also looks sharp and complements the Octavia-inspired design language of the facelifted model.

If you are in the market looking for a sedan on a budget, Skoda Auto India has introduced the new Rapid Rider limited edition at a price of just Rs. 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The new Rapid Rider edition is based on the base Active trim of the sedan but adds a host of new features to make the model an attractive proposition over its rivals. With the competitive new price tag, the limited edition model undercuts most of its rivals in the compact sedan segment including the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Hyundai Verna, Honda City and even the Volkswagen Vento. The Rider nameplate also makes a comeback in Skoda India's line-up and was previously seen on the first generation Octavia that was sold in the early 2000s.

Pre-bookings are already open for the Skoda Rapid automatic for a token amount of Rs. 25,000 while deliveries will begin from September 18, 2020, a day after the launch.

The 2020 Skoda Rapid 1.0-litre TSI now comes with a 6-speed torque converter and is offered in five trims.

The last batch of the Skoda Rapid was produced with the matte effect, confirmed Skoda's Zac Hollis. The automaker makes way for the Slavia compact sedan set to debut on November 18, 2021.
