The Skoda Rapid is a five-door B-class liftback produced from 2012 to the present. The car has established itself as a family concept car designed for operation both in city traffic and on highways or dirt roads. Thanks to a powerful engine and a wide variety of transfer cases when choosing, each driver will be able to choose the best brand option for himself - the car easily manages measured driving or dynamic acceleration, regardless of the type of road surface or operating conditions.

Vehicle specifications: review and analysis of the Skoda Rapid

The liftback is available with a 1.6-liter engine on a five-speed manual or automatic six-row gearbox. Also available for sale are versions with a 1.4-liter engine and an installed robotic gearbox that can produce more horsepower than standard versions of the car.

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

All types of engines comply with the Euro-5 environmental standard and can optionally be equipped with a start-stop system on the maximum vehicle configurations, which provides automatic or remote control of engine ignition in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Skoda Rapid is produced on the basis of front-wheel drive. The car is equipped with independent suspension. Air-cooled disc brakes are installed on the machine, and the wheelbase of the vehicle provides for the installation of discs of any size.

The official release of the car on the Russian market was launched in 2014. In the model range, Skoda Rapid stands between the Fabia and Octavia versions, and the price segment of the car varies between 650,000 - 1,000,000 rubles for a new car, depending on the chosen configuration.

This is interesting! Vehicle versions sold by Skoda official representatives in the Russian Federation are specially designed for the peculiarities of Russian roads. The manufacturer guarantees an increase in the service life to European standards due to the increased ground clearance of the machine, the installation of a reinforced chassis and an upgraded suspension system.

The functionality of the car can be expanded by installing option packages, which are issued in a pre-order for the purchase of a vehicle and in any certified Skoda showroom after technical inspection. The following functional packages can be installed on the machine:

• "One" - includes air conditioning, heated side mirrors and built-in heated front seats. The price of the package is 33,000 rubles;
• "Duo" - provides for the installation of a front airbag for the passenger with the ability to turn off the deployment sensor, as well as side airbags around the perimeter of the car and indicators of unfastened seat belts. The kit will cost 20,000 rubles;

• Brilliant Silver,
• Black magic with pearl effect (Black Magic pearl effect),

The most budgetary equipment of the Skoda Rapid car is the assembly called "Active". The starting price for it is 479 thousand rubles. If you translate into dollars, you get a little more than 13 thousand and this is the cost of a new car from official dealers. What will you get as a result of buying this device, what and how it will be equipped with, and is it possible to upgrade it a little more and at what price.

Let's start with the fact that for the previously mentioned price, a 1.2-liter gasoline engine will be installed on the car and its power will be only 75 horses. Only a 5-speed manual gearbox is paired with it. Having paid 529 thousand rubles. get a 1.6-liter engine with 105 horses and the same transmission, but if you want to move comfortably in an automatic box, then you still need to pay 50 thousand. All these are starting prices that distinguish the car only by the engine and transmission.

Appearance

The appearance of the “cheap” Skoda Rapid will have several distinctive features, namely:

• side mirrors and door handles will remain unpainted and will be black;
• only two color options are white called Pure and blue Pacific;
• no fog lights;
• not tinted windows;
• 14" stamped steel wheels with hubcaps.

These are the four nuances that can be seen in the photo, which give out, first of all, the simplest assembly. But you can fix some of these flaws, of course, for an additional fee:

Note: prices are approximate and may differ from the real ones, check with your nearest dealer.

• for an additional 5 thousand rubles, you will be offered to install 15-inch stamped steel wheels (when buying a car with a 1.6 engine, they will be installed for free), if you want the same but already cast, it will cost 26,500 rubles, but for light-alloy sizes 16 inches will have to pay 31.5 thousand rubles;
• foglights on Rapid can be installed by paying an additional 7900 rubles;
• glass tinting will cost 3300 rubles.

As you noticed, the side mirrors and door handles, with external modernization, cannot be changed and they will remain the same.

Safety

The Active package on the Skoda Rapid liftback is not very rich in security systems, but it is not poor either. As standard it has:

• anti-lock braking system (ABS);
• very important for our area suspension with a package "for bad roads";
• only one airbag for the driver, located in the steering wheel, for the front passenger there is none;
• drum-type rear brakes;
• light and sound indication of an unfastened driver's seat belt;
• the so-called daytime running light mode, which can be turned off;
• windshield washer nozzles will be heated.

That's all that our Skoda Rapid Active is rich in regarding safe driving. This is usually enough for safe movement at any time of the year, but like the bodywork, you can also improve safety:

• for a surcharge of 10 thousand rubles, you can install an airbag for the front passenger with the ability to turn it off;
• for 13,600 rubles, additional, side airbags will be installed;
• headlight washers - 5 thousand rubles.

Or you can use the whole package No. 1 to improve the safety of the Skoda Rapid, the cost of which is 17,000 rubles. In its composition:

1. frontal airbag for the front passenger, which can be turned off;
2. front side airbags;
3. indication of an unfastened front passenger seat belt.

Comfort in motion and operation

Since the Active equipment on the Skoda Rapid liftback is the poorest, naturally, strong comfort should not be expected from it. The salon is quite spacious, but its execution is simple, it can be clearly seen in the photo. What is “rich” in our Skoda Rapid, so to speak, to ensure pleasant movement on it and operation in general:

• a steering wheel with three spokes, which is clearly and completely visible in the photo, with the possibility of manual adjustment, both in reach and inclination;
• four head restraints (two in the back), the front ones have the ability to adjust the height of the lift;
• the driver's seat has the ability to manually adjust the height;
• the back of the rear seat is one-piece, which can be folded;
• power steering - electromechanical;
• car glazing has thermal protection;
• screened interior rear-view mirror;
• power windows - front only;
• there is a cup holder in the center console;
• black interior with black fabric seat upholstery, which can also be clearly seen in the attached photos;
• a cosmetic mirror is located in the right sun visor;
• in the rear doors there are storage compartments;
• there is an outside temperature sensor;
• installed 4th regular dynamics;
• central locking;
• The feature of the Skoda and Rapid brand in the Active assembly is not deprived of it, this is an ice scraper in the gas tank cap (photo).

In general, very good, but there are several disadvantages, such as the lack of air conditioning and radio. Agree that in our time in the summer to ride without cool air in a closed cabin will be, to put it mildly, not very comfortable, so you can acquire and install additional accessories for yourself:

1. for 27 900 rubles You can install a simple air conditioner;
2. the cost of the radio will cost an additional 7 thousand;
3. lower engine protection - 5 thousand rubles;
4. fabric rugs for the entire cabin - 1700 rubles;
5. a separate folding backrest in the back seat will cost 3,600 rubles, while the sofa itself will remain solid;
6. additional headrest in the back in the middle - 900 rubles;
7. remote control for the central lock - 3 thousand rubles;
8. heating for the front seats - 8000 rubles;
9. Well, if you want a metallic color, you need to fork out for 12 thousand.

Some of this list for Skoda Rapid with the Active prefix can be ordered as a separate package, the designation of which is WR1, the cost is 31,000 rubles, and the filling is as follows: simple air conditioning, heated exterior side mirrors and front seats.

Outcome

In order to feel comfortable and confident on the roads, the meager filling of the Skoda Rapid will not be enough. To make your budget car more or less safe and comfortable, the following option for its assembly and equipment is offered:

1. 1.6 engine with a manual gearbox - 529,000 rubles;
2. install security package No. 1 - 17,000 rubles;
3. put fog lights - 7,400 rubles;
4. install an air conditioner - 27,900 rubles;
5. add a remote control for c / o - 3000 rubles.

Summing up everything, the total cost will be 584,300 rubles, which is 14,700 rubles less than the next version of Rapid Ambition with the same type of engine and transmission, so it’s worth analyzing and comparing everything, maybe it would be better to pay this difference.

Following the canons of the German concern, Skoda in Russia offers Skoda Rapid in three trim levels. Traditionally, these are Active, Ambition and Elegance.

In the initial set Active price Skoda Rapid will amount to almost 480,000 rubles.

For more comfort in the middle configuration Ambition the buyer will give at least 549,000 rubles.
