Skoda has ended the production of the Rapid sedan ahead of the debut of its replacement, the Slavia. The last batch of Rapid cars built are the Matte edition of the sedan.

Over the years, the Rapid was available in various engine and gearbox combinations.

The engine is paired to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission.

The Rapid will be replaced by the Slavia, which is scheduled to be unveiled on November 18, 2021.
