Skoda has launched the Rapid Monte Carlo Edition in India at a starting price of Rs 10.75 lakh for the petrol variant and the Rs 12.46 lakh for the diesel. The Rapid Monte Carlo is based on the Style variant of the Rapid and features cosmetic changes which include black accents on the grille, headlamp inserts, taillamp cluster and the outside rear-view mirrors (ORVMs). The Rapid Monte Carlo Edition also gets an all-black interior with contrast red stitching, a flat-bottom steering wheel and aluminium foot pedals for a more sportier experience. Like the regular Rapid, the Monte Carlo Edition will be available with two engine options - a 1.6-litre MPI petrol engine and a 1.5-litre TDI diesel motor.
Skoda launched the Rapid facelift last year in November. With the facelift, the Rapid adorned Skoda's crystalline design language. It also received the then-new 110PS 1.5-litre diesel motor. Both the petrol and diesel engines on the Rapid get an optional automatic transmission. The Rapid takes on the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, the Hyundai Verna, the Volkswagen Vento and the Honda City.
Dear All,I bought this car on 28th March 2017 with Carbon steel color. Till date I drove around 2900 KMs. I would say its awesome car !!
===
PROS:
I got fuel avg 16 KMs/ Liter... car is butter smooth with excellent road handling, superb ground clearance suspension is bit hard though.
===
CON:
Only the thing which I feel may be on negative side, as CAR has projector lights are not good enough strong while night driving. SKODA should do something on that part.

The Rapid has always been a steady performer for Skoda. While the big boys from the Czech automaker’s portfolio that is, the Octavia and the Superb always stole the limelight, it was the Rapid that steadily contributed volumes. With the demise of the Fabia brand in India, the sedan has been the most affordable Skoda on sale, for a couple of years.
With the competition picking up steam, Skoda thought it was wise to give the Rapid a nip and tuck, and prep it for yet another stint at the market. What’s changed? Let’s take a look:
Things We Like in Rapid
Updated 1.5-litre diesel engine is punchy, fun to drive and frugal. Rare for a car to pull all three off.
Build quality. Doors close with a reassuring thud, interiors are among the best built in the segment.
Well specced variants. Top-spec model gets projector headlamps, leather upholstery, automatic climate control, touchscreen audio system etc.
7-speed DSG automatic paired with the diesel engine is quick and refined. Rarely skips a beat.
Things We Don't Like in Rapid
Straightforward interior design is beginning to show its age.
Occupant space at the rear isn’t at par with rivals such as the Maruti Ciaz or the Honda City.
Stand Out Features
6.5-inch touchscreen features MirrorLink that lets you mirror your smartphone screen. Feels very intuitive to use.
Dual Airbags and ABS offered as standard throughout the range.
CarDekho Verdict
Is the Rapid in its best avatar yet? The answer to that is a resounding yes.
"Is the Rapid in its best avatar yet? The answer to that is a resounding yes."
The biggest shortcomings - a bland design and lack of features - have been fixed, which makes it all the more desirable.
Although there are no mechanical changes, the Rapid Monte Carlo Edition’s cosmetic enhancements make it a very tempting product in the segment Read Full News
