Skoda is soon going to launch the matte edition of its Rapid sedan in India. It will see many cosmetic changes compared to the model showcased at Auto Expo 2020. Many important information related to this vehicle has now come to the fore, so let's have a look at it here:-

The limited-edition variant of the Rapid will be available in the Matte Grey shade. This is the second model after the Kia Seltos X-Line in India to get the factory-finished matte treatment. Apart from the paint, a gloss black treatment will be applied to the boot spoiler, front bumper, 16-inch alloy wheels, and ORVMs (Outside rearview mirrors). The Skoda Rapid Matte Edition will come with a sporty rear diffuser. Dark treatment has been given to all the chrome elements in this sedan.

This stealth theme of the matte edition is also given on the interior. It gets an all-black cabin with black-out Alcantara upholstery. The flat-bottom steering wheel has been given in this special edition variant, which has been taken from the top variant Monte Carlo of the regular model. Apart from this, the same features as in the standard top model can be given in the Matte Edition which includes a rear parking camera, 8-inch touchscreen display, cruise control, and rain-sensing wipers. 

The Rapid Matte Edition will be powered by the standard model's 1.0-litre turbo petrol engine that generates 110 Ps of power and 175 Nm of torque. The engine is expected to be offered with 6-speed manual and torque converter automatic gearbox options.

The new compact sedan to replace the Skoda Rapid is currently in development and is slated to be introduced in 2022. In such a situation, it can be said that this could be the last update of Rapid before the arrival of the new model. The Rapid Matte Edition will be based on the Style variant with a price starting at Rs 11.69 lakh. Its price will be kept at Rs 30,000 more than the Style variant. In the segment, Skoda Rapid competes with Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Honda City, Hyundai Verna, and Volkswagen Vento.
