Product Overview

Skoda Rapid Spaceback (chassis code NH1) is an affordable compact hatchback in production from 2013 to 2019. It was available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.
Essentially, the Rapid Spaceback is a wagon-hatchback hybrid version of the Mk4 Volkswagen Polo, though as usual VAG managed to cut some costs here to boost its margins.
While it is hardly surprising that Skoda finds it acceptable to market a vehicle with this level of fit and finish as well as quality control, what astonishes is that many consumers took the bait.
About the only positives of this vehicle are low tax and low fuel consumption.

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
