Through a comment on a post on Team-BHP's Facebook page, Zac Hollis, Director – Sales, Service & Marketing at Skoda has confirmed that the Rapid 1.0-litre TSI AT would be launched in September 2020. The car is expected to use a torque converter gearbox.

In May 2020, Skoda launched the BS6-compliant Rapid with a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine. The engine produces 109 BHP @ 5,000-5,250 rpm and 175 Nm @ 1,750-4,000 rpm and is paired to a 6-speed manual transmission.

The Rapid is available in five variants - Rider, Ambition, Onyx, Style and Monte Carlo and comes equipped with an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit, automatic climate control, rear AC vents, cruise control, rain sensing wipers and a rear view camera.
