ŠKODA announces prices for all-new Rapid hatchback

  • Prices start from just £12,900
  • Three familiar trim levels – S, SE and Elegance
  • Four petrol and one diesel engine available at launch
  • Insurance groups from 7E

ŠKODA has revealed UK prices for the eagerly anticipated Rapid hatchback, which will go on sale from the 12 November 2012.

The Rapid is the first ŠKODA production car to fully feature the brand’s new design language and provides outstanding space for five passengers and their luggage.

As you would expect from a ŠKODA, Rapid embodies all of the core values for which the brand has become famous – exceptional value for money and engineering excellence with a human touch.

Four petrol and one diesel engine are available under the bonnet of the ŠKODA Rapid from launch, mated to five or six-speed manual transmissions or a seven-speed automatic DSG. The Rapid offers outstanding value for money and low running costs with CO2 emissions starting from 114g/km of CO2 (on the 1.6 TDI CR 105PS DPF engine) and insurance ratings starting as low as 7E (for the 1.2 MPI 75PS engine).

With Benefit in Kind (BIK) ratings from only 14%, the ŠKODA Rapid is expected to provide a boost to the brand’s rapidly expanding fleet sales.

On-the-road pricing starts from £12,900 for the Rapid 1.2 MPI 75PS engine in entry level S trim, rising to £17,850 for the Rapid 1.6 TDI CR 105PS DPF engine in flagship Elegance grade.

The ŠKODA Rapid comes with a high level of standard equipment. Every model gets remote central locking, curtain airbags, daytime running lights, rake/reach-adjustable steering wheel, height-adjustable driver’s seat and electric front windows.

The SE trim adds 15-inch alloy wheels, body coloured door mirrors and handles, air-conditioning, Maxi-dot trip computer, MDI (Multi Device Interface), a leather steering wheel and Bluetooth connectivity.

Buyers opting for range-topping Elegance models benefit from 16-inch alloys, cornering front fog lamps, cruise control, height-adjustable passenger seat, rear electric windows, chrome interior detailing and a four spoke multi-functional steering wheel.

The ŠKODA Rapid is the seventh car in the brand’s award-winning range, and will sell alongside the Citigo, Fabia, Roomster, Octavia, Superb and Yeti. Production began last month at the company’s plant in Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Republic.
