Hi Arbaaz. Skoda is working on a replacement for the Rapid. It will be based on the MQB A0-IN platform and will get completely revamped exteriors and interiors. Thank you 😊
Nice review Mr.Nair, this is the first review i saw of yours ,pretty calm & composed when compared to many other over hyped reviewers. Waiting for Automatic review,please do share shortly. Being a polo 1.2 petrol owner, im totally inclined towards rider turbo petrol. For many ppl who are confused,these cars offer fantastic ride quality with solid build n these are what we should expect from any car,arent we? or just the bling factors? By the way liked your smile when you are behind the wheels,tells a quite about the engine.Keep up the good work Sir!!
Thank you!! Your feedback means a lot to us... It will help us improve as we are a young channel, and have a long way to go. Please do keep watching us and we will have the Rapid auto review as soon as we get the car.. :)
What a voice Mr. Nair to engage with the good presentation, good review..now I will watch all your reviews 😀 , you summarise well this is the Car you need 🚗
Thank you for being a part of our journey. We plan to do a lot in the days to come, and we need all your support to be where everybody would like us to be.
I m looking for skoda rapid 1 ltr petrol torque converter Skoda or amaze cvt Skoda is huge in length thats the only thing disappointed me Its all about 14.5 feet 😥 I cant park this machine in my city drive and i go through pocket roads i cant turn this one easily 😥. But width of rapid is same as amaze love it.😍 Not only for me we indians use a car in city and highways. So in future make a compact sedan of length 13 feet and width of same 5.6 ft. Thankyou♥️
How many Rapid versions are there at this point? :-D There is the original European version, the new facelifted Russian version and then this Indian(?) one. Unbelieavable.
Hi Pranav. We'd recommend the top-spec Monte Carlo trim as it comes with all the bells and whistles. If you have a budget constraint, then even the lower variants are well packaged and priced. Thank you 😊
@@sandyboy775 hey santosh we are awaiting your view on automatic ,I m keen to understand how good is its creep function as to understand b2b drivability
Frequent gear shifts becomes necessary once below 1500 rpm which is a concern in traffic. That makes the riding difficult in city which I am facing with my ford figo diesel also. Having said that how about an AT rapid? Will the change from a diesel figo to petrol AT a mistake or burn the pocket more than expected?
Mkar the back seat spacious + remove the transmission tunnel ( so that middle passenger can sit comfortably ) and then this car can beat the Honda city
Scoda rapid new generation already launched in Russia I am waiting for next generation rapid in India please tell me how long I should wait for new rapid
Why does every car reviewer reviews only the Monte Carlo version. This car is old and everyone obviously would not pay the higher price tag Skoda demands. So enthusiasts who want that TSI engine would likely go for the Rider Plus or the Ambition.
Before you buy VW products based on quality, performance narrative listen to court cases and Customer Care response including ISO certification ugly side of Customer treatment.
@@manoja538 I alreay agreed that both interior and exterior are outdated.. Some like the supple design of Rapid and some like sporty and sharper design of verna.. I personally like the simple design of Rapid..
@manoj in terms of exterior.. i ll say this is most nicely shaped and perfect looking car.. Not too much chrome not too less chrome... Look at style variant and carbon black.. trust me it rocks!!! If u look at a 3 4 year old verna it looks outdated yet rapid is kinda timeless 5 years later it will still look good.. Anyhow those who buy cars on outer look are really atupid people accoirding to me... Khud ke lie le rhe ho ya dusro ke lie buy the one which makes u look back and say i want to drive u again!!!
@@sandyboy775 Performance will be punchy thanks to its turbo but with age turbos wear out and the 1.0 engine can't compensate the power loss. An inline 4 turbo could have been offered in the higher spec models. Anyways, loved the review!
What ever may be , but after sales service and customer support is worst. If anyone wants to buy tension with a new car then go for SKODA... If u want real peace of mind then don't go for specially SKODA OR VW group cars....
Sure, Skoda is lacking in the after-sales department, but under the India 2.0 project with over 90 percent localization, we expect Skoda and Volkswagen to improve its after-sales services considerably.
