Skoda Rapid news

This past week a couple of carmakers closed the book on long running models, a new premium EV was launched, and we got some updates on Maruti hatchbacks

The compact sedan will soon be replaced by the larger and more premium Slavia

The Rapid is the first car in its segment to offer a matte colour option straight from the factory

A range of game-changing SUVs of various sizes are going to become available this festive season, so keep your bank accounts ready

The limited-edition model will get cosmetic changes and will likely be based on the top-spec variant

A list of our favourite cars, plus a couple of oddball options from the used car market

It will be the only sedan in its segment and the only mass-market car after Kia Seltos to get a factory-fitted matte colour option

Which compact sedan has the best headlamps?

Which compact sedan offers the most effective cooling setup for you?

New details on the five-door Suzuki Jimny, a Toyota-badged Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, and the new-gen Skoda Octavia have surfaced. These, and more car news stories from the week gone by:

The top-spec Monte Carlo variant gets new black alloy wheels, a front lip spoiler, and a side spoiler

The two will borrow the bigger 1.5-litre turbo-petrol engine from the Skoda Kushaq and VW Taigun compact SUVs

The trickle-down effect in cars has been constantly delivering new tech to accessible car segments over the last few years

The upcoming Skoda sedan could be sold alongside the Rapid, much like the fourth and fifth-generation Honda City

The base-spec Rapid and a few other variants are now pricier than before
