Product Overview

Skoda Rapid (chassis code NH3) is an entry-level compact sedan in production from 2012 to 2019. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.
Based on VAG's A05+ platform, the NH3 Rapid is the equivalent of SEAT Toledo Mk4 with a different badge, both slightly larger Mk5 Polo in sedan form. As such, it lacks independent rear suspensions and comes only with tiny engines.
The official fuel economy rating is exceptionally rosy, though it may cast more doubts on the trustworthiness of the regulators and perhaps the owner's own sanity than it relates to reality.

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The Skoda Rapid underwent an almost unnoticeable facelift earlier in 2017, which included a light spruce-up in the design department. This SE L model comes equipped with rear parking sensors, climate control, cruise control and a touchscreen infotainment system too. The Rapid has 550 litres of boot space, enough to swallow at least four big suitcases for runs to the airport.

Pros
  • Comfortable ride
  • Decent fuel economy
Cons
  • Nobbly ride
  • Not the most fun to drive

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The Skoda Rapid Spaceback is a very rational car choice. It's hugely practical, the TSI engine is quiet and smooth and it's well-equipped – three very attractive qualities for young family buyers. However, it's all just a bit... dull. Look up a definition for the word ‘car', and Rapid would be perfect.

Pros
  • Fun to drive
  • Well-equipped
  • Decent infotainment system
Cons
  • Lacklustre interior quality
  • No six-speed manual gearbox

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
In its cheapest ‘S' form, the 1.2 TSI is the cheapest way of getting into a Rapid. Our mid-spec SE 103bhp test car, which offers the best compromise of outlay and spec, sets you back £15,350. The Rapid Spaceback offers miles more cabin space for that money than a Titanium-trim TDCi Ford Fiesta.

Pros
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent cabin space
Cons
  • Punchy petrol engine
  • Lack of practicality

Reviewers from carmagazine have found the following***:
The Skoda Rapid Spaceback takes the elongated Audi Sportback hatch-cum-estate template and applies it to Skoda's lacklustre Rapid. Despite being 180mm shorter overall and 135L inferior in the bootspace department, it's not an open-and-shut case that the Spaceback is the one to go for. It's £755 pricier (in SE trim) than an identically specced Rapid hatchback.

Pros
  • Stylish looks
  • Comfortable to drive
  • Decent infotainment
Cons
  • Lacklustre diesel engine
  • Tight steering
