Skoda's latest car has, paradoxically, been around for quite awhile. What's more, you or someone you know probably owns one already. Before you think I've lost my mind, its the Volkswagen Vento that I've been mumbling about. And the new Skoda, called the Rapid, is just that - a Vento in Skoda's finery.
But before you dismiss off this car, I'd recommend that you try this Skoda up for size. And why I say this is that the Skoda will be priced a tad lower than the VW and the idea of getting a brand new Vento for cheaper is a great deal indeed. Whats more, the Skoda badge isn't really downmarket - just go ask those who have had theirs nicked.
The Rapid will be available with two engine options - a 1.6 petrol and a diesel with the same displacement. In addition to the engine options, you also can choose between a manual or an automatic transmission. The usual trim levels exist too, and the choice is as usual, dependent on how deep your pockets are. Whew! Who says that Indians don't have too many choices when it comes to their cars.
