New Skoda Rapid Facelift launched at a price of Rs 8.27 lakh

Skoda India has been updating their model range in India. It started with the Superb, then the Octavia and now the Rapid has got itself a mid-life facelift. Introduced into the Indian market way back in 2011, the Rapid was in need of an update, especially because the number of competitors in this segment have risen considerably over the years.

Now looking much more in line with the current generation Super and Octavia, the Rapid looks much bolder thanks to the all-new 'Crystalline' design language. The biggest change that's evident right away is the signature butterfly grille that integrates into the LED headlamps with DRLs and is accentuated by the streamlined hood, giving the car a wider and planted stance. The rear-end's biggest attraction, other than the restyled tail lamps, is the integrated rear spoiler.

It has bene introduced with a starting price tag of Rs 8.27 lakh for the petrol variant, which goes up to Rs 11.36 lakh for the top-end model. The Diesel variant, on the other hand, starts at Rs 9.48 lakh for the base variant and Rs 12.67 lakh for the top-end variant (all prices ex-showroom, Delhi).
