- Newly upgraded Rapid from $23,990 drive away
- KODIAQ TDI to join the range from RRP $48,990
Sydney, 21st August 2017– ŠKODA Australia has introduced an updated Rapid model line, as well as announcing a more potent diesel variant to its KODIAQ SUV range.
Offering copious space rivalling larger cars, unique ŠKODA design and a host of Simply Clever solutions, the Rapid Spaceback is a true genre-buster. To provide greater simplicity for customers and reducing complexity, ŠKODA Australia has realigned the Rapid range to just one value-packed model: a 92TSI with DSG transmission.
Featuring upgraded design in keeping with ŠKODA's new design language, the Rapid now comes with the following standard inclusions over previous iterations, priced at $23,990 drive away:
Extended glass tailgate
17" Black Savio wheels
Rear View Camera
Rear Parking Sensors
Front Assist with City Emergency Brake
Privacy Glass
SmartLink (Apple Carplay & Android Auto)
LED daytime running lights
6.5" Swing touchscreen infotainment
Black side mirrors
As for ŠKODA's stylish all-new SUV capable of accommodating seven passengers, the KODIAQ will also receive an update with the arrival of a new 140kW TDI diesel engine variant, joining the range at a RRP of $48,990.
KODIAQ 140TDI vehicles are available for customer order now, and will be in Australian showrooms at the end of the year.
Boasting an enormous 400Nm of torque, the powerful European designed and built SUV offers excellent performance while keeping fuel consumption extremely low at 5.9 litres/100km.
All Model Year 2018 KODIAQ variants, which includes the 132TSI and new 140TDI models, also receive a number of tech upgrades, including a 9.2-inch digital display with innovative gesture control and DAB+, as well as the unique, standard Sleep Pack which provides adjustable headrests, much like those found on airlines, for rear seat passengers.
The updated Rapid model line is available now from ŠKODA's national dealer network, with the 140TDI KODIAQ joining the range in dealerships before Christmas.
