The Skoda Rapid released in 2012 had a great impressive design, offered a roomy cabin and a great sized trunk, but the most important thing, the price-value ratio was excellent.
Designed for people looking for comfort and practicality, the Rapid was a good choice with the massive 550 liter load area.
The Rapid could have fitted into the small sedans segment, being bigger than a Fabia, but still smaller than the Skoda’s best selling Octavia.
The engine options were two 1.2-liter gasoline engines developing 104 hp, a 1.4-liter gasoline producing 121 hp and a 1.6-liter diesel. While the engines were not as powerful, the Rapid was still fun to drive.
The Rapid had a clean, nice looking interior and good quality materials. The seats were comfortable and the overall feeling was of roominess.
Safety wise, the Rapid was equipped with ABS, ESP, tyre pressure monitoring, foglmaps, hill-hold control, front and side airbags, along with adjustable-height 3-point sagety belts.
The Rapid was available in three trim levels: Active, Ambition and Elegance. Several interior color combinations for the dashboard and the door panels were available as Satin Black and Satin Black, Satin Black and Telluride Grey and Satin Black and Stone Beige.
While the Rapid was not as exciting as the rivals in its class, it was definitely the cheapest to afford with quite great features.
