  • On the inside, the Rapid Onyx edition features dual-tone ‘Ebony-Sand’ leatherette upholstery with a wooden finish
  • It also gets a flat-bottom, leather-wrapped steering wheel with black stitching, a 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, scuff plates with ‘RAPID’ inscription, rear windscreen sunblind, textile mats and a 12V power socket in the front and rear console

  • The automatic variants of the Skoda Rapid Onyx also feature electronic stability control (diesel only) and hill hold control just like the standard automatic variants
  • Mechanically, the Rapid Onyx is similar to the standard Rapid. It can be had with a 1.5-litre TDI diesel and a 1.6-litre MPI petrol engine. The diesel motor produces 110PS/250Nm while the petrol engine is good for 105PS/153Nm
  • Both the engines are mated to a 5-speed MT. However, they are also available with an automatic transmission. While the petrol gets a 6-speed AT, the diesel comes with a 7-speed DSG automatic.

The Skoda Rapid Onyx Edition attracts a premium of upto Rs 1.57 lakh over the Ambition variant. It seems overpriced considering the limited additional features on offer. Over the Ambition variant, these include white bulb headlamps with LED DRLs, 16-inch alloys, 6.5-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink support.
