The Rapid is taking a central role in doubling Skoda's sales and will be launched in all European markets in the autumn of 2012. Its manufacturers believe that it will impress with the very large spaces for its category, the value-price relationship, its active and passive safety as well as its range of turbocharged engines.

The car fully incorporates all elements of the new corporate design, which will also characterize the next new models. The front shows off Skoda's new design philosophy. The brand's new badge is placed in a specially designed position on the front bonnet and no longer on the grille, whose shape is now wider. A chrome frame surrounds its dense vertical stripes that ensure effective engine ventilation. The lighting bodies have a new design and complement the aggressive design of the front part.

Despite the relatively compact external dimensions (length 4.48m and width 1.7m), the new Rapid surprises with its interiors. Its five passengers will have unique comfort and facilities while their luggage is taken care of by the luggage space that exceeds 500 lt. Two diesel and five petrol engines form the driving force and will be mated to either manual or automatic DSG gearboxes 7 relations. Για την αγορά μας ξεχωρίζουν οι κινητήρες βενζίνης 1.2 TSi και 1.4 TSi 105 and 122 ίππων αντίστοιχα ενώ στους κινητήρες πετρελαίου ο 1.6 TDi θα προσφέρεται σε δύο διαφορετικές ιπποδυνάμεις των 90 and 105 horses.
Το νέο Rapid κάνει το ντεμπούτο του στην Έκθεση Αυτοκινήτου στο Παρίσι τον προσεχή Σεπτέμβριο.
