Skoda Rapid equips its liftbacks with automatic 6-speed gearboxes, which require a 1.6-liter engine and a naturally aspirated 105 hp engine to operate.
This, undoubtedly, could not but affect the price. 15 thousand hryvnia is the price you need to pay for changing a manual 5-speed gearbox to an automatic one.
Pricing information was obtained from the Praha-Auto car center. It is noteworthy that the Skoda Rapid from this moment is available not only with a mechanized, but also with an automatic transmission. However, the seven-speed gearbox, which is already widespread in Europe, is not yet shining for us. The 1.6-liter 105 horsepower engine tested on the Skoda Fabia was equipped with a 6-speed gearbox that did not fail, which, of course, is reflected in the price difference between manual and automatic transmissions.

Test drive Skoda Rapid 1.2 TFSI Active:
Whether it is worth buying a Skoda Rapida or not is up to you, but I would buy something else. Although if we consider the cheapest configuration of 122 thousand, then one could buy it. After all, for such a price, even a Hyundai cannot be purchased more or less. And if you have money for Rapid Elegance, and you are also a lover of beautiful and high-quality auto tuning, then you can get a compact supercar, see the photos below ... or just buy the Skoda Rapid Sport.
