The new compact from Skoda will receive the name Rapid

The new compact from Skoda will receive the name Rapid and will become an attractive filling of the niche between the Fabia and Octavia models, the auto. Voy.ru reports.

European debut of new products will take place until the end of this year. Perhaps for these purposes a car dealership will be chosen in Frankfurt or Paris. The Chinese version of the same model will be assembled and sold in the Middle Kingdom since 2013.

The previously presented Missionl concept, which the company brought to the Beijing car dealership, is "close to the serial version." "Rapid is our next novelty. She has a key role in the framework of our active growth strategy. This car should provide good demand in the international market," said Winfrid Vahland, head of the company.

According to the company, Rapid will become an attractive family car in the mass segment.

"Missionl is a real Skoda car that reflects the brand values: fresh design, functionality, space, originality and, of course, price -quality ratio. It will be the perfect car for a family. A lot of space for a driver, passengers and baggage," Vahland added.
