The ŠKODA RAPID is fitted with modern 1.0 TSI engines, combining required performance with low consumption and emissions. The power ranges from 70 to 81 kW and is transmitted to the front wheels. Two types of transmission are available: a 5- or 6-speed manual and 7-speed DSG gearbox.

Sit in a ŠKODA RAPID and you’ll find yourself at the wheel of a self-assured car. You’ll appreciate the excellent view out, the quality materials and the refined ergonomics, so everything is where you expect to find it. The top speed of 201 km/h and acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.9 seconds indicate that you’ll enjoy every drive.

The safety of you and your family is our priority, as evidenced by the RAPID’s 5-star EURO NCAP crash test result. Occupants are protected by up to 6 airbags that work in tandem with the three-point seat belts. Passive safety is complemented by a rigid body structure guaranteeing maximum energy absorption in an accident. Isofix and Top Tether are par for the course. When you’re in town, you’ll appreciate Front Assist, the active safety system that automatically halts the car to prevent an accident.

You’ll never be driving alone with the ŠKODA RAPID. On long motorway journeys, you’ll appreciate Driver Alert, which ensures you don’t take risks – it alerts you if you need to take a break. When it gets dark or starts to rain, the car turns on the lights and wipers automatically. Another practical assist in the dark is Auto Light Assist, which automatically turns the full beam on and off depending on the current lighting conditions and traffic situation.

When you buy a ŠKODA RAPID, all your parking worries are over. The parking sensors tell you exactly what is happening around the car, enabling you to park easily in the tightest of spots in front of a shopping centre. The Rear View Camera displays the situation behind the car on the infotainment screen.
