斯柯达近日发布了2017款Rapid昕锐三厢车版以及运动版。新车变化从车头开始，前大灯获得升级，采用双氙气技术和LED日间行驶灯。前保险杠也进行了改款并增加了新的雾灯。在后部设计上，新车采用了黑色系附着的尾灯，而LED照明技术则会作为可选配置，我们也可以在照片上看到亮黑色的扩散器，但这一配置也不会对所有车型开放。车身侧面可提供新的15/16/17英寸合金轮圈。动力配置方面，1.2升TSI发动机被移除，取而代之的是新款1.0升TSI三缸引擎，其输出功率为70千瓦/95马力和81千瓦/110马力版本。此外，消费者还可以选择125马力1.4升TSI四缸和两台柴油引擎，分别为1.4升TDI，功率66千瓦/90马力或1.6升TDI，功率85千瓦/116马力。车厢内设置了WLAN热点和两个USB接口，这一点与明锐改款车一样。

 

Skoda Rapid facelift revealed with bi-xenon headlights, 1.0 TSI

Skoda is on a roll these days. After updating the Octavia and Citigo as well as unveiling the Kodiaq Scout and Sportline, the automaker from Mladá Boleslav is now refreshing the Rapid & Rapid Spaceback duo.

 

The changes start at the front where both of them have upgraded headlights taking advantage of bi-xenon technology with an LED strip for the daytime running lights. The front bumper has also been revised and it hosts new fog lights in the same vein as those of the larger Octavia. As for the rear end, it now hosts a reworked bumper and updated taillight graphics with optional LED tech and a black tint to better show off the oh-so familiar “C” motif. Several new 15-, 16-, and 17-inch alloy wheel designs have been added.

 

A more important change has occurred underneath the hood where both Skoda Rapid models will be available from now on with the Volkswagen Group’s familiar turbocharged 1.0-liter gasoline engine with three cylinders. It’s going to be offered in two states of tune: 95 hp (70 kW) and a slightly beefier 110 hp (81 kW) version. Alternatively, customers can get the cars with the existing 125-hp, four-cylinder 1.4 TSI or with one of the two diesels: a 1.4 TDI with 90 hp (66 kW) or a 1.6 TDI rated at 116 hp (85 kW).

 

Moving inside the cabin, the Skoda Rapid and Rapid Spaceback in the more expensive versions feature WLAN hotspot and two extra USB sports mounted in the back, just like in the aforementioned Octavia facelift.
