The ŠKODA RAPID SPACEBACK impresses with strengths that are typical of the brand, namely generous interior space, numerous ‘Simply Clever’ ideas as well as a high level of both active and passive safety. From the Ambition trim level upwards, the main headlights feature LED daytime running lights.
The optionally available bi-xenon headlights, are also combined with LED daytime running lights and indicators. The lengthened rear window now comes as standard for the Style trim level and achieves a distinct feeling of space, particularly with the optional panoramic glass roof.
New dynamic and efficient three cylinder 1.0 TSI engines replace the units with a cylinder capacity of 1.2 l. The ŠKODA RAPID SPACEBACK is also available in the sporty MONTE CARLO variant.
Efficient and dynamic 1.0-litre TSI engines with three cylinders
The technology under the ŠKODA RAPID SPACEBACK’s bonnet is also state-of-the-art: all engines feature fuel efficiency measures such as brake energy recovery and a Stop-Start function and fulfil the EU6 emissions standard. Depending on the engine variant, there is a choice of a 5-speed or a 6-speed manual gearbox or an optional 7-speed DSG transmission.
1.0-litre TSI engines are available for the upgraded ŠKODA RAPID SPACEBACK for the first time. The particularly agile and efficient three-cylinder engines are available in two power versions:
1.0 TSI, 70 kW (95 PS), top speed of 184 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 11.0 seconds, combined consumption of 4.4 l per 100 km, 101 g CO2/km. Transmission: choice of 5-speed manual or 7 speed DSG.
1.0 TSI, 81 kW (110 PS), top speed of 198 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 9.8 seconds, combined consumption of 4.5 l per 100 km, 104 g CO2/km. Transmission: 6-speed manual.
(All values given apply to the manual gearbox variant.)
Due to their compact construction and aluminium crankcase, they both now weigh ten kilograms less than the 1.2-litre engines they are replacing, and their running is particularly smooth and refined. The free inertial forces are low and the otherwise customary balancing shaft for three-cylinder engines is therefore not necessary. This saves on weight and helps to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Besides the two new three-cylinders, three more engines are available for the ŠKODA RAPID SPACEBACK. There is a choice of:
1.4 TSI, 92 kW (125 PS), top speed of 205 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 8.9 seconds, combined consumption of 4.8 l per 100 km, 113 g CO2/km. Transmission: 7-speed DSG.
1.4 TDI, 66 kW (90 PS), top speed of 183 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 11.6 seconds, combined consumption of 3.9 l per 100 km, 103 g CO2/km. Transmission: choice of 5-speed manual or 7 speed DSG.
1.6 TDI, 85 kW (116 PS), top speed of 198 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 9.9 seconds, combined consumption of 4.1 l per 100 km, 107 g CO2/km. Transmission: 5-speed manual.
