Comfort features

ŠKODA RAPID features many electronic systems to enhance its level of comfort, functionality and safety even further.

Climatronic

Cruise control

KESSY – Keyless Entry, Start and exit SYstem

Hill Hold Control

Heated rear seats

Rear view Camera with washer

Auto Light Assist

Front and rear parking sensors

Automatic Wiper/Light System

The automatic wiper system uses a rain sensor in the base of interior rear-view mirror to automatically activate wipers as well as to adjust their speed. The light sensor activates the car’s illumination automatically when the intensity of ambient light decreases below a specified value (for example when driving through a tunnel or at dusk).

Climatronic

The automatic climate control ŠKODA Climatronic provides the convenience of stable, automatically maintained temperature in the car’s interior. The Climatronic uses various sensors and elements to monitor and adjust the temperature, direction and speed of the air flowing into the vehicle. For example the humidity sensor to reduce windshield fogging.

Cruise control

Do the long motorway drives make your right leg ache? Do you like to drive on top of the speed limits, but don’t want to get over them? Then the cruise control is exactly what you need. You can simply save the current speed and the cruise control will keep it until you step on the brake, clutch or you switch the cruise control off again.

KESSY – Keyless Entry, Start and exit SYstem

Open or close the door, start or stop the engine, all without having to search for your key? That is the comfort provided by the KESSY system. Simply pull the door handle (or push the boot button) and the vehicle will unlock automatically. Start the car by pushing the button located to the right of the steering column.

Hill Hold Control

The Hill Hold Control (HHC) allows for easy hill starts without the risk of unwanted backward roll or need to use of the handbrake. When the driver releases the brake pedal after stopping on a hill, the HHC keeps the pressure in the brake system for 1 or 2 seconds.

Heated rear seats

There’s no reason to worry about cold months as passengers on the rear seats can enjoy the comfort of heated seats. Buttons to active the heating are placed on the armrest storage within the reach.

Rear view Camera with washer

Providing you with comfort and orientation during a parking procedure, the Rear view Camera uses a camera located on the fifth door handle. Combined with ŠKODA infotainment radios and navigations with touchscreen, the system uses their displays to show the space behind the car and to indicate the driving line, based on the vehicle width.

Auto Light Assist

This system automatically turns the high beam off and on. Starting at speeds of 60 km/h, it automatically turns on the high beam when it is dark enough outside. If you are closing in on a vehicle ahead (or if there is an oncoming vehicle), the system automatically dims the headlights so as not to dazzle other road users.

Front and rear parking sensors

The system for signalling the distance from an obstacle is a welcome help, especially when navigating through tight spaces. The driver is alerted not only by front and rear acoustic signal, but also visually on the display of the Swing radio or Amundsen navigation system.

Performance

Put it simply, range of engines for the RAPID stands for driving pleasure and top environmental values. The RAPID is available with three petrol and two diesel engines. These advanced power plants put out between 66 and 92 kW.

Green Technologies

The ŠKODA RAPID is fitted with modern TSI and TDI engines, combining required performance with low consumption and emissions. All engines in the RAPID are complemented by a set of sophisticated technical solutions like Start-Stop system and brake energy recovery to further reduce consumption and emissions.
