Check out the full Skoda Rapid Spaceback review here: www.carkeys.co.uk/car-reviews...
The Skoda Rapid Spaceback is aimed at those who want a bit of added style over the standard, saloon-esque Rapid.
Not quite a hatchback - and not quite a saloon - the Spaceback is shorter than the standard model but actually offers more rear headroom.
Skoda claims it is aimed at young, style-conscious families. We put the Skoda Rapid Spaceback to the test to see what it is all about.
In this review, we take an in-depth look at the interior of the Skoda Rapid Spaceback including its boot size, dashboard and back seats. We then run through performance, price and finish up with the all-important verdict - is the Skoda Rapid Spaceback a good car?

Bought one of these a year ago, absolutley beautiful car! 1.2turbo petrol, so nippy and sounds good. Couldnt ask for more . Love it!!
I was surprised by this little gem. My wife has a 2016 Spaceback Joy edition with the DSG-7 and the 1.4tdi. Was really impressed with the performance of this 3 cyl motor on the autobahn, but also the excellent fuel economy.
My wife and I are picking up our 1.2 TSI SE Sport in a couple of week, I'm quite excited!
I fell in love with this car. I drove automatic one..Tho i had to sold it after 2 years because i didnt have enough money to maintain it, the xenons are too expensive. But one day i will get myself Skoda Rapid again i hope (just not automatic)...The car fits me very well
The styling is great, something different from the typical rounded blobby hatchbacks. I like the sleeker, more angular lines.
Sensible pricing and the 1.2 engine packs a punch for it's size!
I just got a 2017 1.4 Tsi Spaceback- So far, Iove it. 7 speed DSG, feels great on the road with the 17" wheels. Wife loves it too.
Has the dsg been reliable ?
Thanks for doing an updated review, been looking for one since we bought the se sport
No problem... what do you think of it?
For the price and space, we think (as a family) that it is a fantastic car for daily, and motorway driving, especially with that 1.2 110ps petrol. I think that this review clearly indicates that. One thing you didn't mention is that under the front seats, at the back are two fans, perfect for dogs and kids in the back.
Keep up the good work, Car Keys!
Cheers for your insight on it, that's actually a great benefit for using it as a family (& pet owner) vehicle.
Thanks, we will do!
Good review - We took delivery of our 1.4TDI SE Sport back in Jan of this year. Virtually the same car as you tested but in Red.
Got no complaints, does what it says on the tin.
I bought the 1.6l diesel in 2014 and made it a taxicab. So far i count 880.000 km on the meter amd still goimg strong. I love the rapid! Best business partner i ever had!
Manual or auto?
@@gajdanviktor2774 5-speed manual my friend
@@petrosMgr Thank you for your reply,how was the mpg or L/100km for the long run?
@@gajdanviktor2774 the average l/km is 7.5 in the he city and 5.5 in highway!
Would you recommend the auto dsg one?
in my country you can tune the 90 pk version to 140pk. great car
I've just bought one of these 2nd hand. Very sensible car. Ticks all the boxes for me
I'm waiting for my skoda.In Ireland it is about 12 weeks:(
This is the last moment to order a motor 1.2.
The new model will have a 1.0 tsi engine...115hp but only, three pistons.
I can not wait :))))
hired a diesel model and was totally impressed, so much so, that i placed an order for the latest petrol model; looking forward to driving my new car
its been a 3 years since you posted this comment.. did you get the car? if so what are your thoughts about it?
@@maxcooper2578 My dad have the 1.6tdi one with 90hp tho and damn man after 2000rpm it kicks in forreeaaal and its really economic and a good car
@@ahmedchahineelkatmour3382 i got the 1.2tdi dsg one overall it's a good car, one thing that i dont like is sound isolation but again overall great car for its price especially with the turbos in sport mode gets you enjoy it. fuel economy is i'd say okay not too bad not too god..
its a great car, im buying a 2017 model in march. great review
I'm looking at getting one. After2 months with it, what do you think of it?
Why you didn't show sunroof
Great Car and If I was buying one then I would the SE Sport. Shame about the weather though
Yeah tell us about it. The video guys looked like they had been swimming after the driving shots... Whilst Rich was nice and warm inside the car :P
Should have shown the backseat floor .. but apart from that .. really really good review.
This car is best value for money I think....
My wife has a 1.2 dsg7.. It's a nice car. It's actually quicker than I thought.
could you please review the skoda yeti ? please include an off road test as well..
Hi K, we had the keys to a Skoda Yeti Monte Carlo for 6 months not too long ago. Unfortunately we didn't get too much off-roading done, but the guys did a pretty in-depth review you might find handy (there's a video review at the bottom of the page too):

i love mine. se sport 1.2 tsi 110 ps. great car.
Sure is!
James Dean what sort of mpg do you get?
I'm currently getting 40mpg had mine for 5 months from new absolutely love my rapid spaceback in white too
How’s the car after a year? Still good? I’m looking to upgrade and the VW stable is $$. How’s the MPG?
James Dean how's the space with double seat down?..I need to load my daughters uni stuff in for a 200 mile journey...so parents in front daughter in back...thinking on this skoda
Should have reviewed the 1.6tdi
looks amazing goes well but the interior quality is not really good.Hard plastic all over which can get scratched extremely easy!
Lenka Hajkova yes they do scratch very very easy... Mine has a number from shoes scuffs and rings but a really great car for the money..
my scoutline coming october :)
How's the car been so far
@@ThePraveen95 One of the best cars i ever had. Compact, sporty and lots of space. 1.4 TSI + DSG
@@RETROtastisch im about to buy the same one scoutline model
@@RETROtastisch do you think the dsg will hold up overtime if i drive in the city alot
@@ThePraveen95 I almost only drive in the city. I have no Problems with the DSG, works fine.
fuk that's a nice shirt man
tbh it looks like an earlier A3 lol.
True, it’s on the same platform with A3 Sportback
@@cipriangeorge1505 not a bad thing 👍
I don't get the spaceback. If you are looking at the Rapid you are most likely on a limited budget, why on earth would anyone choose the version with smaller boot? Also this is being targeted at young families? Young families have prams and other shit to fill the boot with, I've got 2 young kids, 5 and 1 year old, a mk4 Toledo (Rapid clone) and I would not dream about getting the spaceback instead of the proper version.
Then why choose to watch the video. Sure it won't suit everybody but for most it'll be sufficient.
To be fair the smaller boot isn't an issue, it's a better shape than a standard rapids boot and th extra space in the rear is much better with large bulky car seats.
My wife and I bought one it's been great. We have a very chunky travel system and it's been no problem.
Also worth mentioning I worked in car rental at the time so had plenty of experience with the regular rapid/Jetta/Toledos and find the spaceback just fits better. (And has a nicer interior)
