Expert opinion and recommendation

The Skoda Rapid Ambition Automatic is a compelling option in its segment, particularly for those who value driving pleasure and convenience. The 1.0-litre TSI turbo-petrol engine, paired with a smooth and seamless automatic transmission, makes it a joy to drive, especially on highways. While it may feel a bit dated in terms of design and features, the cars performance is impressive, with quick acceleration and well-judged gear ratios. However, there are some minor drawbacks, such as the aggressive downshifts during deceleration and the cars tendency to run away when easing off the brakes, which requires careful modulation of the throttle and brakes. Despite these foibles, the Rapid remains one of the nicest cars to drive in its class, making it a strong contender for those prioritizing driving pleasure and value for money.

Latest Updates

Recent news and announcements

Skoda upgraded the Rapid with new features, including a reverse camera and 16-inch alloy wheels, to keep the model fresh amidst rivals. These updates enhance both safety and aesthetics, making the Rapid a more attractive option in its class. I believe these additions will help maintain the Rapids popularity until its eventual replacement.

The Skoda Rapid production has come to an end in India, with the last batch produced featuring a matte effect. This marks the end of an era for the Rapid, as it is set to be replaced by the Skoda Slavia, which was launched on November 18, 2021. I believe this transition will bring fresh competition to the compact sedan segment.
October 31, 2021
Skoda India introduced the 2020 Skoda Rapid TSI Automatic, which comes equipped with a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine producing 110 bhp and 175 Nm of torque, paired with a 6-speed torque converter automatic gearbox. This addition aims to enhance the driving experience, especially in city conditions. I think this automatic variant will appeal to those seeking convenience without compromising on performance.
September 17, 2020
Pre-bookings for the Skoda Rapid TSI Automatic were opened for a token amount of Rs. 25,000, with deliveries scheduled to start from September 18, 2020. The automatic variant is expected to be priced around Rs. 1-1.5 lakh more than the manual versions. I believe this move will help Skoda compete more effectively against other automatic sedans in the market.
September 15, 2020
The Skoda Rapid TSI Automatic is set to be available in the Ambition, Onyx, and Monte Carlo variants, each expected to be about Rs. 1.5 lakhs more expensive than their manual counterparts. This expansion into automatic variants is part of Skodas strategy to stay competitive in the compact sedan segment. I think this will make the Rapid more appealing to a broader range of buyers.

Pricing details and changes

The Skoda Rapid Ambition Automatic is priced competitively in the Indian market. The ex-showroom price for the Rapid Rider Plus AT, which is the entry point to the automatic range, starts at around Rs 9.49 lakh. Moving up to the Ambition variant, you can expect to pay around Rs 11.49 lakh ex-showroom. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, would typically add another Rs 1-2 lakh, depending on the state and local taxes. This pricing makes the Rapid Ambition Automatic a value-for-money proposition, especially when compared to other automatic sedans in its segment. The premium of Rs 1.50 lakh over the manual version is justified by the convenience and smooth driving experience the automatic transmission offers.

Mileage

Fuel efficiency information

The Skoda Rapid Ambition Automatic offers decent fuel efficiency, which is a crucial factor for many buyers in India. In city driving, you can expect a mileage of around 12.79 kmpl, while on the highway, it can return up to 17.13 kmpl. These figures make the Rapid a reasonable choice for both urban and long-distance driving, helping to keep running costs manageable. The engines efficiency is further enhanced by the tall gearing, which allows for a calm and fuel-efficient cruise on the highways.
