Information Madness

It has been a long time since Skoda has taken out a new car in India. Now, they are ready to introduce a luxury sedan, Rapid, to fill that void that has been created by the phasing out of Octavia. Rapid will be officially launched in India on 16^th November and this new sedan carries much potential to give its competitors in the segment a tough time.

Skoda Rapid is similar to its parent company’s Volkswagen Vento. Skoda always shares the platform of its cars with Volkswagen’s and comes out with a model identical to one of theirs, fixing it at a slightly lower price.

The interior of the car is going to be a sheer luxury. Skoda India has made this sedan comfortable and chic. It has a dark beige coloured dashboard. The steering wheel has four spokes and comes with a soft and brilliant chrome finish on it.

Like all the Skoda models, this car will also have telescopic adjustable steering wheel which is wrapped with good quality leather to give the driver a firm grip. The sedan also has an instrumental panel with green back light that is accompanied by green needles and a computer in the centre that includes a DTE measure (Distance to empty), a clock, digital fuel metre and trip metres with the additional centre console that is positioned somewhat at an angle to help the driver to focus on it. The sedan has its air conditioning vents that can be easily shut or opened separately.
