Skoda Rapid Onyx Edition Launched In India; Prices Start At Rs 9.75 Lakh

The design of the Skoda Rapid Onyx Edition carries a gloss black theme which contrasts really well with the primary shade. The Czech brand's signature butterfly grille has got a chrome surround which adds a bit of elegance to the front profile. The projector headlamps also get a black treatment.

The sedan rides on a neat-looking set of 16-inch black Clubber alloy wheels with matching bolt covers. Furthermore, the black treatment extends to the ORVMs, side beadings and trunk lip garnish.

The interiors get a dual-tone Ebony-Sand finish along with a mix of wood and leatherette elements. The 6.5-inch ‘Drive' touchscreen infotainment system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In addition to this, the Skoda Rapid Onyx Edition comes with a host of safety features as standard.

The Skoda Rapid Onyx Edition, as mentioned before, has the same mechanicals as of the regular model. The 1.6-litre MPi petrol engine makes 104bhp and 153Nm of torque while the 1.5-litre TDi diesel unit produces 109bhp and 250Nm.

Both engines are available mated to a 5-speed manual or an automatic transmission (6-speed in the petrol and 7-speed DSG on the diesel).
