Skoda Rapid 1.5 TDI Elegance

Exterior Pretty impressive looks. Solid and heavy car body makes you feel safe as if you are protected by the strong Armour in-case of any road accident.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Quite spacious if compared in its segment.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine isn't as peppy as Hyundai Verna but the Turbo kick after 1700 RPM definetly excites me and feel in more control of car even in high speeds than Verna. On my way from Gurgaon to Noida recorded the TOP mileage of 21 KM/L (around 10 PM in night, less traffic).

Ride Quality & Handling Ride quality is pretty good but little bumpy on rough roads because of stiff suspension.

Final Words I almost took 6 months to finalise this car as I was very confused between VW Vento, Hyundai Verna and Skoda Rapid. Offers and discounts on VW Vento and Skoda Rapid confused me a number of times. Hyundai Verna has a very good initial pickup but turbo kick in Skoda Rapid and VW Vento is amazing. I feel Skoda Rapid has a better driving experience than VW Vento despite the fact both the cars have same engine. I bought this car from Nawab Motors Noida and was very impressed the team helped me in decision making. The team wasn't pusshy as others and gave me ample of time to take decison. The best part was their Sales Manager and General Manager spent time with me indvidually to clear out any doubts and quiries I had.

Areas of improvement Skoda should open few more service centers to ensure convenience for the customers. Stay tuned for my reviews with new Skoda Rapid 1.5 TDI.
