Expert opinion and recommendation

The Skoda Rapid Ambition is a compelling choice for those who prioritize driving pleasure and a robust build quality. While it may not excel in terms of interior space or the latest design elements, its strengths lie in its powerful engine options and handling. The 1.6 MPI petrol engine, though discontinued, is renowned for its excellent pickup and responsiveness, making it a joy to drive, especially on open roads. The newer 1.0 TSI turbo-petrol engine offers a similar blend of performance and fuel efficiency, with a notable surge in torque that makes highway driving particularly enjoyable. However, the cars stiff suspension can make city drives a bit harsh, and the lack of certain modern features might be a drawback for some. Overall, if you value a car that is fun to drive and reliable, the Skoda Rapid Ambition is definitely worth considering.

Skoda India has introduced the Skoda Rapid Rider Edition, but the Ambition trim continues to be a popular choice for its balanced features and pricing. The Ambition trim comes with energy-efficient bi-xenon lights, LED daytime running lights, and a redesigned interior with decorative inlays and a circular instrument cluster. I think these updates make the Rapid Ambition a compelling option in the compact sedan segment.

July 3, 2020
The Skoda Rapid Ambition was one of the variants that benefited from the introduction of the 1.0-litre TSI engine, which improved performance and fuel efficiency. This engine is available with a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed DSG transmission. I believe this engine upgrade was a significant boost for the Rapids appeal.
