The highly competitive small car segment today gains another new entry with the launch of the all-new Skoda Rapid Spaceback.  Sitting between the repositioned Fabia and the new Octavia model ranges, the Rapid Spaceback boasts above class average space and generous equipment levels.

The Rapid Spaceback comes available with a choice of two fuel efficient petrol engines. A 77kW petrol engine mated to a six-speed manual transmission motivates the base Ambition model, while a 90kW TSI petrol engine paired with a seven-speed DSG transmission is available in the Ambition and Elegance specification. Both the 77TSI and 90TSI power plants promise class-leading fuel economy, returning 5.4 and 6.0 litres/100km from a combined cycle respectively.

Also featuring a vast 384 litres of boot space and a plethora of storage and functional features befitting Skoda’s ‘Simply Clever’ ethos, the Rapid Spaceback presents an affordable option to savvy buyers looking to maximize space from a small car.
