The last major update we saw on the Skoda Rapid was the homegrown 1.5L diesel engine + 7-speed DSG transmission. However, the exteriors remained largely unchanged if one were to discount the ‘black’ editions. The Rapid’s genetically identical twin – the Volkswagen Vento - received a facelift in 2015 (link to report). If the Vento takes after the Jetta, dare I say the Rapid facelift looks like a baby Octavia! The Rapid facelift is styled in line with Skoda’s Crystalline design philosophy and the end result is essentially a fusion of the Fabia Mk 3 and European Rapid.
