Skoda India has made changes to the variant lineup of the Rapid sedan. The 2014 Skoda Rapid is now available in Active, Ambition Plus and Elegance trim levels. Whereas the previously available Ambition variant has been discontinued.

The modification to the Rapid variant lineup comes soon after Hyundai made changes to its Verna sedan variants, a car that falls under the same category as the Rapid.

In fact, Skoda's reason for re-introducing the base variant of the rapid seems to be a direct response to the increasing competition in this segment which recently intensified with the coming of Honda City.

Skoda Rapid Active

Standard features offered with the base variant include central locking, front and rear armrest, rake and reach adjustable steering column and rear AC vents.

Skoda Rapid Ambition Plus

The mid variant offers as standard dual front airbags, ABS, brake assist (AT) steering-mounted audio controls, leather-wrapped steering wheel, gear shift lever and handbrake lever, 2-DIN music system with Bluetooth and USB compatibility and electric ORVM.

Skoda Elegance

The top of the line variant adds 15 inch alloy wheels, automatic climate control and projector headlamps.
