Skoda Rapid will not copy Golf Anymore? – Autotobile

The Skoda Rapid will receive a next generation model that will come with a new name as well as a brand new design.

According to Skoda, the current Rapid Spaceback failed to have the impact they hoped for but they think the successor would go further. Skoda added that the new Rapid should sell at least twice as many units as the first full year of sales as the outgoing model.

One of the reasons people think that the Rapid could not make a mark was because it looked a lot like the Golf and at the end of the day the Golf will always win this fight. Fortunately, with the new design, Skoda would be able to show consumers that Rapid also deserves to be considered.

The new Skoda Rapid will ride on the MQB AO platform and will likely be equipped with a three-liter engine. engine-cylinder that will offer between 84hp and 109hp. There could be the 1.5 liter and 1.6 liter diesel engine.
