After opening its order books for the new Rapid TSI AT last month and releasing a teaser video of the car last week, Skoda has now launched the automatic variant of the Rapid TSI in India. The new Skoda Rapid TSI AT is identical to its manual counterpart, that was already on sale, in most of the aspects. The main difference is the transmission.
The new Skoda Rapid TSI AT gets a 6-speed torque converter.
