Skoda Rapid PRO’s & CON’s
- Things We Like
- Things we don’t like
Safety - Safety has always been a concern, and Škoda's German Engineering is well-known for its build quality and safety. Rapid has a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating, making it one of the safest automobiles in the market.
Build quality of the sedan - One benefit of Škoda’s every car is that each car the company has released comes with a great build quality that ensures top-class safety with a 5-star rating.
Interior - Coming to the interior of Rapid, Škoda has done a great job by providing a flat-bottom steering wheel with its traditional 3-spoke design in the facelift variant. The interior looks pretty neat and appealing.
Comfortable seats - Škoda has done a great job when it comes to the seats of Rapid as they are designed for total comfort. The armrests at the center console and the rear make it even more delightful.
Performance - One of the key reasons why Rapid was the most popular car among Indians was its performance. Its 1.0 turbo-diesel and 1.5 turbo-diesel were the most loved variants since the old Rapid was launched back in 2011. The sedan was packed with power and had great handling.
Not very harsh on the pocket - The pre-facelift variant of Rapid was offered for Rs. 7.19 Lakhs to Rs.10.11 Lakhs ex-showroom and the facelift variants were priced from Rs. 7.80 Lakhs to Rs. 13.49 Lakhs ex-showroom.
Outdated look - The rapid was almost identical to Vento and even after facelifting the sedan, it persisted the same old ergonomics of Rapid.
Stiff suspension - While driving at a slower speed, the ride got a little bumpy.

Skoda Rapid EXPERT REVIEWS
As you may be aware, the design and manufacturing of all Škoda Rapid variants have been terminated, and the all-new mid-sized segment, Slavia, has taken its place. Yet, there’s limited stock available. So, if you’re looking for a budget sedan that has many features, ample boot storage, 5-star safety rating, nice handling, good performance, and many more, you can consider Škoda Rapid as one of your options as the sedan is power-packed and loaded with lots of features besides being budget-friendly. There’s a limited amount of stock for Rapid’s Matte Edition, so if you’re looking for a unique color option, you can go for the Matte Edition.
As the manufacturing of Škoda Rapid comes to an end, Škoda's biggest concern will be if its new segment Slavia can meet the needs of the Indian market that Rapid formerly served. When it comes to Škoda Rapid's rivals — Honda City, Hyundai Verna, Suzuki Ciaz, and Volkswagen Vento — all outperform Rapid. As Rapid was offered at a comparatively lower price than its rivals, Rapid would have been a great deal.
No doubt Rapid was the best in segment sedan. The sedan didn’t have many flaws, but the only thing that could’ve been better was its suspensions. Its suspensions were a bit stiff, which distorted the driving experience a little. Škoda should’ve given better suspension to the sedan and also should’ve updated its appearance.
