The only missing piece in the Rapid TSI’s puzzle now is its price

The BS6-compliant Rapid will be offered in five variants.
It’s powered by a 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine that develops 110PS.
Will initially be offered with a manual transmission option.
Bookings open for a token amount of Rs 25,000.

Skoda India has opened online bookings for the upcoming BS6-compliant Rapid TSI. The Czech manufacturer will launch the updated sedan as soon as the nationwide lockdown is lifted. Ahead of its launch, we have received the variant list and colour options of the Rapid TSI.

The Skoda Rapid TSI will be offered in five variants: Active, Ambition, Onyx, Style and Monte Carlo. Interestingly, the previously run ‘Onyx’ limited edition is now offered as a standard variant in the Rapid BS6. Also, Skoda has revealed the detailed variant wise colour options. Here’s a table explaining the same:

Skoda Rapid TSI	Active	Ambition	Onyx	Style	Monte Carlo
Colour Options	Candy White, Carbon Steel	Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Toffee Brown	Candy White, Lapiz Blue	Candy White, Carbon Steel, Brilliant Silver, Toffee Brown	Candy White, Flash Red

The main change in the BS6-compliant Rapid is under the hood. It will be powered by a new 1.0-litre TSI petrol engine that develops 110PS of power and 175Nm of torque. This powertrain made its India debut in the Polo and the Vento. However, unlike its VW siblings, the Rapid will initially come with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 6-speed automatic transmission will join the line later. The 1.5-litre TDI and 1.6-litre MPI powertrain options have been discontinued.

Apart from the mechanical update, the Rapid remains more or less similar to its BS4 predecessor. The only missing piece in the BS6 model’s puzzle is the price, which is set to be revealed as soon as the nationwide lockdown has been lifted. The Rapid TSI locks horns with the VW Vento BS6, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Hyundai Verna, Toyota Yaris and the upcoming 2020 Honda City.
