Another example of the Volkswagen Group's Czech division doing what it does best is the Skoda Rapid. Skoda is able to offer remarkable space and functionality by extending a platform intended for small cars, but with the operating costs and driving ease of a supermini.
The Skoda Rapid will not only be inexpensive to purchase, but it will also be inexpensive to operate.
Skoda Rapid Fuel Consumption
Whether you choose the manual or DSG gearbox, the 1.4-litre TDI is said to get 70.6 mpg, making the diesels the most fuel-efficient vehicles. With a claimed fuel economy of 67.3 mpg, the 1.6-litre TDI is also not far behind.
However, that does not imply that the petrol is not cost-effective. The most economical is the 95-hp 1.0-litre TSI, which according to Skoda can achieve 62.8 mpg. The same engine's more potent 110 horsepower variant claims a fuel economy of 61.4 mpg, which is somewhat less.
It should come as no surprise that the 1.4-litre TSI petrol engine with DSG gearbox has the highest fuel consumption, but it can still achieve 57.7 mpg.
It's unlikely that you'll really reach the stated numbers in real-world driving, particularly when using petrol, but if you drive carefully, you should be able to come pretty close.
Low CO2 emissions are a feature of the Skoda Rapid. Even the most potent and emitting model is quite environmentally friendly.
With a CO2 emissions of 115g/km, the 1.4-litre TSI DSG is still superior to many competing engines of comparable capacity.
Skoda Fuel Consumption
With the 1.0-litre TSI 95PS emitting 103g/km (the lowest in the range) and the 110hp version emitting a little more at 106g/km, it gets even better if you don't need a fast Rapid.
If you choose a diesel, the situation is similar; the DSG emits 106g/km of CO2, whereas the 1.4-litre TDI produces 105g/km when operated manually.
Following the pattern, the 1.6-litre TDI emits 109g/km, which is marginally more than the fastest gasoline.
The fuel consumption of the Skoda Rapid is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Skoda Rapid variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Skoda Rapid in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Skoda Rapid is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
