The New SKODA Rapid – Like a whiff of fresh air

The Czech automaker, Skoda was successfully made its place in the auto market of India through its most popular sedan, Skoda Rapid.

It has now got a new look which put it in that mostly desired sedan category. You will get a multi-slated grille with a fine chrome border which makes it look quite appealing and ravishing.

On the line of fog lamps, you can get a honeycomb type 3D pattern which enhances its front design to manifold. The projectable headlights are now adorned with a quartz-cut pattern with jewel-shadow LED which may sound complex, but indeed impressive.

From its side profile, it doesn’t look much different than its previous model, however, the Matone’s alloy wheels will grab your attention at once. At the rear side, you get C-shaped tail lights, rear diffuser that improves its aerodynamic profile and an integrated spoiler.

So, all-in-all, from outside, it definitely looks sharper, glossy and captivating.

Moving in to the cabin, you will get some changes but not in its dashboard which remains pretty much the same as its previous model. But once you throw yourself completely in, the changes will start getting visible. The Duel-Tone Ebony-Sand interior gives it a traditional style blended with modern idea. The interior chrome package give you a feel of luxury and the leather package, which includes the leather wrapped steering wheel, gear shifter and the hand-brake lever, ensure your utmost comfort along with maintaining a premium look.
