Pros and Cons

  • Positives

Skoda Rapid
  • Build quality. Peppy and efficient turbo-petrol engine. New 6-speed torque converter has no power lag. Ride and handling.
Skoda Rapid

Latest News on Honda City and Skoda Rapid

Recently Asked User Questions

Q. Which on to buy as a first car, Yaris, Nexon and Rapid?
  • All these cars are good enough to go for. The Yaris definitely has more going for it than just the Toyota badge. In fact, the Yaris has done a good job of cutting out a niche for itself. It sets itself apart by setting new expectations for safety features in the segment and even offers many segment firsts. What’s special here is that the focus is heavily on the experience of luxury. The cabin insulation, the premium interior trim/upholstery quality, and the sublime ride comfort make this a great car for a wide range of buyers. Yes, it isn’t the most driver-centric car and there have been a few misses, in terms of features and in the sense of space. But these aren’t deal-breakers, especially since you get a rich in-cabin experience in the tradeoff and there isn't any compromise on usability. In fact, if you wanted the Corolla Altis and didn’t have the budget for it, the Yaris matches the experience on most counts and even betters it on some (ride, for example).The Tata Nexon has become an even stronger contender than before. With the revised looks, more powerful engine and added features, it surely needs to be on the top of your consideration list. If you will be tackling bad road conditions and want a spacious car with good power performance, you may go for Tata Nexon. If we talk about Skoda Rapid, it misses out on some creature comforts and space when you compare it to its rivals but it undercuts most of them in price too. And if you are worried about reliability issues, Skoda is offering a 1 lakh kilometer warranty package with road-side assistance, included in the price of the car. Our recommendation is that you must definitely check out the Rapid if you list driving pleasure in the top three things you consider before buying a new car. It will offer you great performance, and decent fuel efficiency as well. You may compare all these cars accordingly. Do take a test drive in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
Q. Which one should I buy Rapid, Tigor or Altroz?
  • Selecting a perfect car would depend on certain factors such as your budget, preference of the segment, ride quality, features required, usage of the car, maintenance costs, etc. The Rapid would be a good option if you are looking for a compact sedan for everyday usability and occasional road trips. Driving dynamics as well as a lot of everyday practical features and yes, that 1-litre engine really changes that equation more than the spec sheet would suggest. Both in terms of everyday driveability as well as being exciting when the road opens up, while still staying efficient. Whereas, if you are looking for an stylish and affordable sub-4 meter sedan with a host of convenience features then the Tigor would be a better pick. As for the Altroz, while it does not manage to set a new standard in the segment, it will fit right into the mix with a long feature list, sharp looks and a comfortable ride. Moreover, we would suggest you to take a test ride before making the final decision. Follow the link and select your desired city for dealership details.Read More: - Tata Altroz 2019 Petrol & Diesel: First Drive - Skoda Rapid 1.0 TSI: Road Test Review

  • The estimated maintenance cost of Skoda Rapid for 5 years is Rs. 35,128, whereas, the maintenance cost of Honda City for 5 years is Rs. 14,082. Comparatively, Honda cars are cheaper to maintain. Moreover, we would suggest you to get in touch with the authorized service centers for more information on the same.
