Sunday drive with Hormazd Sorabjee: The Skoda Rapid review

An all-new 110hp 1.0 TSI turbo petrol engine comes as a big shot in the arm for the Skoda Rapid, which has been largely unchanged since it was launched in 2011. In fact, there’s a lot riding on this compact yet potent 1.0 TSI, which will be the sole engine powering the Rapid range. It produces a strong 110hp and 175Nm of torque, figures that will make you smile before you turn the key.
