Expert opinion and recommendation

The Skoda Rapid Active is a compelling choice for those who prioritize driving pleasure and value for money. While it may not boast the most extensive list of features compared to its rivals, it more than makes up for it with its punchy 1.0-litre turbocharged engine and well-tuned transmission. The cars handling is exceptional, with a steering system that is heavy and direct, making it a joy to drive, especially on highways. However, the powertrain can feel a bit aggressive in city traffic, and the lack of certain creature comforts might be a drawback for some. Despite this, the Rapid offers great performance, decent fuel efficiency, and a maintenance package that includes a 1 lakh kilometre warranty, making it a solid option for those seeking a fun-to-drive sedan.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

Skoda Auto India has discontinued the Skoda Rapid, marking the end of an era for this compact sedan that had been on the market for nearly nine years. The Rapid was known for its driving pleasure and was available in various trims, including the Rider, Active, Ambition, and Style. I believe this move clears the way for newer models that can better compete in the evolving Indian market.
September 11, 2024
The Skoda Rapid recently received a facelift, adding features like a reverse camera and 16-inch alloy wheels to keep it competitive. This update was part of Skodas efforts to refresh the model amidst strong competition in the compact sedan segment. I think these additions were a good move, but the lack of significant powertrain updates might have limited its appeal.
September 27, 2023
Skoda launched the Rapid Rider limited edition in India, priced at Rs. 6.99 lakh (ex-showroom). This edition, based on the base Active trim, included additional features to make it more attractive against rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz and Hyundai Verna. I believe this was a smart strategy to boost sales and offer more value to customers.
September 26, 2023
Skoda introduced the Rapid TSI Automatic in India, starting at Rs. 9.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This model came with a 1.0-litre TSI engine and a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. I think the addition of an automatic transmission was a necessary step to cater to the growing demand for convenience in the Indian market.
September 18, 2020
Skoda announced plans to replace the Rapid with a new mid-size sedan codenamed ANB Sedan, which was expected to launch by the end of 2021. This new model was part of Skodas India 2.0 strategy to revamp its product lineup. I believe this move was crucial for Skoda to stay competitive in the Indian market.

About

General information and overview

The Skoda Rapid Active is a sedan that stands out for its driving dynamics and practicality. It comes with a range of engine options, including a 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces between 103.2 and 108.62 bhp and torque ranging from 153 Nm to 250 Nm. The car is available with both manual and automatic transmissions. Inside, the Rapid features a comfortable and functional interior, with highlights such as automatic climate control, rear AC vents, parking sensors, and leather seats. The infotainment system, though not the most intuitive, is feature-rich. The cars suspension is set up to be slightly stiff, which enhances its handling capabilities but may make city rides a bit harsh. Overall, the Rapid Active is a great choice for those who value driving pleasure, reliability, and a balanced set of features at an affordable price.
