Skoda Rapid (NH3)

Compact Sedan

Product Gallery

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 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
