4 THE NEW ŠKODA RAPID In 2011, ŠKODA Rapid began its journey here in India. And on the way, it has won several accolades and a million hearts. But this journey is far from over. Performance and style are the two facets that have always defined the ŠKODA Rapid. And it s been a challenge deciding which of the two is more impressive. Now with the arrival of the Rapid s latest edition, we aren t making this decision any easier. With upgraded performance and a revolutionary new design language, the debate isn t going to be settled any time soon.

6 DESIGN The new ŠKODA Rapid is a masterpiece in the truest sense. It stays loyal to the brand s timeless design ideals while simultaneously incorporating avant-garde elements. Flip through to find out more about what has gone into making the new Rapid the design phenomenon it is.

8 They say a face makes the first impression. If that s true, the new Rapid, hands down, makes a great one. The dark façade of the new ŠKODA Signature Grille perfectly complements its chrome surround. And above this, proudly rests the ŠKODA badge of honour.

And much like these crystals, the Rapid too is recognised by the mesmerising symphony its angles create between light and shade.

9 EXTERIOR DESIGN As a tribute to ŠKODA s rich Czech heritage, the new Rapid incorporates the brand s trademark crystalline design language. In its sharp angles and contours one can unmistakably trace the inspiration back to traditional Bohemian crystals. And much like these crystals, the Rapid too is recognised by the mesmerising symphony its angles create between light and shade. Light up every inch of the road with meticulous precision using the Quartz-cut Projector Headlights with its manual levelling function. Eyes as striking as the Rapid s deserve the best embellishments. And what better than the mesmerising chrome eyelash effect meeting the Jewel-shadow LED Day Running Lights. Be greeted by the luxurious metallic feel of chrome beneath your fingers every time you enter the new ŠKODA Rapid. The strong shoulder line meets the distinctive new ŠKODA C-shaped smoked taillights, ensuring a strong appearance. And the chrome moulding on the deck lid will leave your followers on the road enchanted. 8

10 Sometimes, judging a book by the cover is the right thing to do, because the new Rapid is as exquisite on the inside as it is on the outside. The contrasting Dual-tone Ebony-Sand interiors effortlessly bring out the blend of traditional ŠKODA designs with modern ideas. And the Chrome décor ensures that no matter where the road takes you, you re never too far from luxury.
