A sporty design, state of the art technology, smart protection and low fuel consumption — the Rapid Spaceback offers a car that brings you space and the opportunity to express your individuality in it.
Gone are the days when your passenger had to get out to help you park. Enjoy ultrasonic sensors in the rear bumper that alert you with an acoustic signal that shortens as you near an obstacle, as well as visual feedback via the Swing radio display.
If you struggle with hill starts, you’ll appreciate Hill Hold Control (HHC). It’s activated automatically when the hill gradient is more than 5%, whether you’re driving forward or in reverse. When you release the brake, HHC keeps the pressure in the brake system for a few seconds, allowing you time to set off without rolling.
Combining the smarts of our car with your phone was a no-brainer. Smartlink^^ Smartphone Connectivity with Apple CarPlay® & Android Auto™ seamlessly connects your smartphone to your RAPID, mirroring your phone's display on the internal screen. So, whether you want to listen to music or receive turn-by-turn directions, you can do it all without touching your phone.
You know what else sounds great? Every RAPID comes with 6 speakers, equipped with ŠKODA Surround Sound, developed with leading audio brand Arkamys®. Plus, the 6.5" touch screen Swing radio has an SD card slot and USB with MP3 and WMA compatibility, as well as the ability to play/stream music via Bluetooth®.
Now, let’s talk about what’s behind that pedal. Modern turbocharged engine with direct fuel injection — petrol TSI — save fuel while retaining driving dynamics. And thanks to the turbocharging, there’s plenty of power in low RPM, where the engine is most commonly used.
When you buy a RAPID, you’re making a smart choice — for yourself and the environment. Green Tech~, standard across both petrol variants, features “Start Stop” and Brake Energy Recuperation. "Start Stop" automatically switches the engine off when stationary and starts it again when you want to drive off.
