MAW Enterprises, the authorised distributor of Skoda, is all set to launch the New ŠKODA Rapid, a crystalline design car claimed to be suitable for Nepali terrain.

The New ŠKODA Rapid is powered by a 1.6 litre MPI petrol engine or the new 1.5 litre TDI diesel engine and delivers a fuel efficiency of 21.13-21.72 km per litre. The automobile features an efficient and dynamic 7-speed DSG gearbox with Tiptronics mated to the 1.5 TDI diesel engine, said the company. 

The four-wheeler will come in six colour options including brilliant silver, candy white, cappuccino beige, carbon steel, silk blue and flash red. It will be available in three variants such as active, ambition and style. 

The new car from Skoda features new quartz-cut projector lens headlights with chrome eye lashes and LED day running lights. It features the new ‘Drive’, a central infotainment system with a 6.5-inch colour touchscreen and MirrorLink technology that supports USB, Aux-in, Bluetooth and SD Card options. 

Electrically foldable mirrors, multifunction steering wheel, Climatronic technology and rain sensing wipers and cruise control are the added features of the New ŠKODA Rapid. 

Cruise control is an electronic device in a motor vehicle that can be switched on to maintain a selected constant speed without the use of the accelerator.

For safety, the four-wheeler is equipped with dual airbags, anti-lock braking system, electronic stability control and hill hold control system.
