2013 Skoda Rapid

Rapid will make its first public appearance in Paris this September and hit dealerships across Europe before the end of the year.

Despite its saloon appearance, the rear window lifts together with the boot revealing a capacious 500 liters of space.

Engines are to be confirmed at a later date, but since the Rapid rides on a stretched version of the current VW Polo’s platform architecture, it will likely be offered with a similar lineup of diesel and petrol engines.
