Skoda has always been a brand that appeals to consumers looking for something hatke, beyond the obvious choices, Marutis and Hondas. The Rapid, especially its DSG automatic diesel variant has been quite popular for its supple ride quality and power delivery.

With a much needed facelift that brings the Rapid in line with its bigger siblings, Octavia and Superb, and upgraded power at 110 BHP, we feel this is just the right alternative for consumers looking to buy a diesel automatic sedan. The Style DSG top end diesel variant of Skoda Rapid TDI 1.5 retails at Rs 12.55 lakh (ex-showroom Mumbai).
