  • Skoda Improves Rapid Spaceback Range

    Skoda Rapid Spaceback Side ViewSkoda announced some changes made in the Rapid Spaceback range. The goal was to create the best possible version of the car, which will also satisfy customer’s needs in terms of versatility of equipment. There are three trim levels, which will make sure that this aim is accomplished.

    As mentioned, the changes are featured across the whole new range. With its exceptional style and practicality, Rapid Spaceback is now going to be offered in three trim levels: S, SE Tech and SE Sport.

    The range of engines that Skoda is offering are 1.2 TSI and 1.4 TDI both delivering 90PS and available for the S trim. The 1.2 TSI versions is pumping out 90PS or 110 PS as well as the 1.4 TSI and 1.4 TDI with 125 PS and 90 PS, respectively, and the 1.6 TDI with 115 PS, for the SE Tech trim. At last the 1.2 TSI with 110 PS, 1.4 TSI with 125 PS and 1.4 TDI and 1.6 TDI producing 90 PS and 115 PS, respectively, in the SE Sport trim.

    The good news is that all-turbocharged engines in the line-up can be mated to one of the best transmissions in Skoda’s history: the DSG. It will take care for the good outputs and the low CO2 emissions, which start from as little as 94g/km.

    There are no words on the exact new features throughout the equipment, but we entirely believe Skoda, when it says that three trim grades include exceptionally abundant equipment levels.

    Skoda has introduced the all-new 2013 Rapid Spaceback offering as manufacturers says “Simply Clever” solutions.

    For example, the new Rapid Spaceback has an optional double cargo floor in the trunk, permitting the trunk to be divided into two horizontal levels providing double utility. What is more, there is no need to leave the double floor behind when using maximum trunk space as it can simply be moved into the lower position.

    Other practical features include parking ticket holder, multimedia holder, cup holders in the front and rear or parcel shelf that can be stowed behind the rear seats.

    The 2013 Rapid Spaceback comes with front, side and head airbags, height-adjustable three-point safety belts with pre-tensioners and height-adjustable head restraints. In EU countries, the ABS and ESC systems are standard. Other active safety features are optional xenon headlights, tire pressure control, fog-lights with corner function or the ‘hill-hold control’ assistant.

    The engine range includes 4 petrol and 2 diesel power units with power between 55kW to 75kW. The 1.6 liter TDI Greenline ahieves 3.8 l per 100 km with just 99 g/km CO2.
    The Rapid Spaceback will celebrate its premiere at this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show, while its launch in the European markets is scheduled for October 2013.
