• SkodRapid is offered in four trim levels. After some absence, the liftback has a basic version of Entry again, so the initial cost of the model has decreased by 37,000 rubles. This package includes two airbags, LED DRLs, a stabilization system, a tire pressure monitoring function, a 12-volt socket in the trunk, and a multimedia system with a 6.5-inch touchscreen display and two USB-C connectors.
• The cost of the Active package with a 90-horsepower engine after restyling did not change (from 829,000 rubles), and the options with a 110-horsepower engine fell in price by 6,000 - 15,000 rubles (depending on the gearbox). This modification differs from the base one only in the presence of an air conditioner.
• The version of Ambition (from 899,000 rubles) also became cheaper: by 14,000 - 24,000 rubles. This Rapid has front side airbags, foglights, cruise control, Bluetooth, two USB-C connectors for the second row and heated front seats.
• The top version of Style (from 1,021,000 rubles) has fallen in price by 3,000 - 12,000 rubles, except for the version with a turbo engine: it has risen in price by 2,000 rubles. The maximum equipment received full LED headlights, six airbags, a front collision warning system, keyless entry, rear parking sensors and a heated leather steering wheel.

The liftback is still available with naturally aspirated 1.6 90 and 110 horsepower, as well as a 125-horsepower 1.4-liter turbo engine. The weakest unit is installed only on cars with a five-speed "mechanics", and for a 110-horsepower engine, in addition to a manual gearbox, a six-speed "automatic" is also offered. The turbo engine is paired exclusively with a seven-speed "robot" with two clutches.

One of Rapid's main competitors, the Hyundai Solaris sedan, has also recently been updated, and is available with a choice of two gasoline aspirated engines: a 100-horsepower 1.4 (from 765,000 rubles) and a 123-horsepower 1.6 (from 865,000 rubles). Engines are paired with six-speed "mechanics" (from 765,000 rubles) or "automatic" (from 880,000 rubles).

Skod's Russian dealers have already started taking orders for the new product. Earlier it became known that the start of sales of the updated SkodRapid was postponed from March to May 2020 due to the lack of rear lights received from international suppliers.
