Buying European never looked so good at this price point. Skoda’s new Rapid Spaceback small hatch/wagon hits the road this week at a starting price of $18,990 for the entry level 77TSI Ambition manual model.
Read MoreThe Rapid Spaceback is another sound offering from Skoda. It delivers European appeal and quality without the lavish touches. It has a simplistic layout, but typically Skoda - smart in its use of space.
Read MoreThe ŠKODA Rapid gives you the unique opportunity to have your style and attitude reflected in your car.
When you look at the Rapid in terms of space and with regards to size, this compact hatchback offers rear passengers outstanding space and headroom for a car in its segment. The luggage compartment also is exceptional for a car in its class.
Sharing the very latest in Volkswagen Group technology, the Rapid assures quality and value. Both petrol engine variants offer exceptionally low fuel economy - the 81TSI engine is complemented with a 6-speed manual gearbox, delivering a combined fuel economy of 5.0L/100km*; whilst the more powerful 92TSI, complimented with a 7-speed DSG automatic gearbox, remains frugal with a remarkable combined fuel consumption 4.9L/100km*.
For added peace of mind, all ŠKODA vehicles now come with a standard 5 year/unlimited kilometre warranty#. Conditions and exclusions apply.
*Fuel consumption figures according to Australian Design Rule (ADR) 81/02 derived from laboratory testing. Factors including but not limited to driving style, road and traffic conditions, environmental influences, vehicle condition and accessories fitted, will in practice in the real world lead to figures which generally differ from those advertised. Advertised figures are meant for comparison amongst vehicles only.
*#5 Year Warranty consists of 3 Year Factory Warranty and 2 Year Factory Extended Warranty. 5 Year/ Unlimited Kilometre Warranty is available with private, general fleet and government vehicles only. Excludes rental vehicles, hire cars, taxis, courier vehicles, driving school vehicles, security vehicles, bus and tour vehicles which are subject to a 5 Year/150,000 Kilometre Warranty (whichever occurs first). Your rights under this warranty sit alongside the consumer guarantees under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 which cannot be excluded.
Safety without compromise
Some forward thinking for when you’re going backwards. A Rear View Camera◊Δ helps you back out of your driveway with peace of mind and tackle those tricky reverse parks with confidence.
◊Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility of the vehicle.

Safety without compromise
The last thing we want to happen to you immediately after an accident ─ is another accident. Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps you maintain control of the car if it begins skidding, while Multi-collision Brake◊ activates the braking system to help minimise any future collision.
◊ Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility of the vehicle.
Safety without compromise
We hope you never need the six airbags that come standard in every RAPID. They’re located at the front, head, and side, providing optimum protection for you and your passengers.
Safety without compromise
Gone are the days when your passenger had to get out to help you park. Enjoy ultrasonic sensorsΔ 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.

Safety without compromise
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.
Safety without compromise
Our clever engineers have developed a hands-on approach to help identify driver fatigue. Fatigue Detection◊∆ monitors your movement through the steering wheel. If it senses signs of fatigue, it sends an audible and visual warning, alerting you to stop and rest.
◊Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver's responsibility of the vehicle.

Safety without compromise
A car that senses danger ahead? Now that’s clever. Front Assist with City Emergency Brake◊ uses a radar sensor to monitor the risks in front of you, alert you of any hazards, and will even brake on its own to help avoid a collision. ◊Safety technologies are not a substitute for the driver’s responsibility for the vehicle.

The RAPID is packed with features for a rainy day. Light AssistΔ automatically adapts to changing light conditions, while the rain sensor adjusts the speed of the wipers depending on light or heavy rainfall.

Plus, the 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®.
Technology
Here’s another clever feature to give you something to talk about. When you connect your phone, the hands free uses wireless Bluetooth® technology so you can talk safely and comfortably. To make things even easier, you can operate it through your steering wheel.

Engine
Now, let’s talk about what’s behind that pedal. Modern turbocharged engines with direct fuel injection ─ petrol TSI ─ save fuel while retaining driving dynamics. And thanks to the turbocharging, there’s plenty of power at low RPM, where the engine is most commonly used.
Engine
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. As long as your car battery is sufficiently charged, “Start Stop” automatically switches the engine off when stationary and starts it again when you want to drive off, while Brake Energy Recuperation uses kinetic energy to charge the car battery, when you apply the brakes.
~Recuperation of “Start Stop” will not occur in certain conditions.
