†Using low-octane fuel may affect engine performance.
We measure the maximum power output figures of
our engines in PS or Pferdestärke (horse strength
in German), which is the metric equivalent of bhp.
To convert from metric to imperial horsepower,
divide the PS figure by 1.0139.

ŠKODA Finance like to do things a little differently, that’s why for many years we’ve specialised in providingsimple and convenient funding options for ŠKODA drivers. It’s what we know.
ŠKODA Solutions, the personal contract plan, is all about you; a flexible, competitive fixed-rate plan designedaround you and your budget, putting you firmly in the Rapid Spaceback driving seat.
Solutions is different because you defer a proportion of the car’s value until the end of the agreement, giving yousignificantly lower monthly repayments than if you’d taken out a loan....ever heard of a bank being so imaginative?
Solutions is totally flexible. You get to choose the size of your deposit (from as little as one monthly payment),and a repayment period which suits you and at the end of the term you have 3 options to choose from.
ŠKODA Finance also offers hire purchase, contract hire and service and maintenance plans.

ABS: the anti-lock braking systemprevents the wheels from lockingduring heavy or emergency braking,enabling the vehicle to remainsteerable. When braking, wheel speed sensors measure the roadwheel speed and should one or more wheels start to lock the systemreduces brake pressure to that wheel.
Elements of the ABS System :-• Dual Rate Vacuum Brake Boosters:
increases brake effort underemergency braking conditions.
• EBC: Electronic brake control. The engine brake torque controlregulates the power supply byintervening with the enginemanagement system.
• EBD (aka EBV): Electronic BrakeDistribution automaticallydistributes different pressures tothe front and rear brakes to stop therear wheels from locking up underheavy braking. It also compensatesfor loaded and unloaded vehiclestherefore doing away with the needfor a Load Sensing Valve on the rear axle.
CAN Bus: the CAN Bus is anelectronic data bus which links thevarious different electronic controlsystems in the car. It ensures ideal co-ordination between systems andreduces the amount of wiring neededin the car.
Fuel cut-out: should one or more ofthe airbags inflate after an accident,this system automatically cuts outthe fuel supply, thus preventingsubsequent leakage of the diesel or petrol.
Trip Computer: the trip computer notonly features an impressive range ofdata displays, operating it is simplicityitself. A multifunction touch keyenables you to call up all relevant dataon the easy-to-read display. Featuresinclude external temperature, time,current fuel consumption, averagefuel consumption, miles driven andaverage speed.
DPF: diesel particulate filter is part ofthe exhaust system responsible forcleaning the engine exhaust gasesbefore they enter the atmosphere.The DPF catches soot particlesemitted in the exhaust gas and itworks in conjunction with thecatalytic converter, which reduces the amount of harmful gases enteringthe atmosphere. The DPF mustperiodically be emptied of the sootparticles, a process known asregeneration. This involves elevatedexhaust system temperatures. A driving style is required duringregeneration, where a constantvehicle speed above 37 mph must bemaintained. This does not always suitcustomers who make frequent shortjourneys or experience stop/startdriving or drive within inner-city orurban areas.
CR: the completely new range ofdiesel engines are built on a systemof Common-Rail fuel injection. Thediesel engines have a high-pressurecommon rail direct injection fuelsystem and four-valve technology. As a result, the new engines aremuch quieter, more refined in theiroperation and consume less fuel,compared to the Pump Duse enginesand significantly reduce emissions.
HHC: Hill hold control allows for asafe hill start by holding the brake fora small amount of time, reducing therisk of unintentional reversing or roll back.
TPM: Draws the driver’s attention toany pressure loss in any of the tyres.Early warning can prevent damagefrom occurring as a result of an underinflated tyre or a defect that radicallychanges the cars behaviour anddriveability.
ESC: electronic stability control is designed to stabilise the dynamichandling response of the vehicle bycounteracting any tendency towardsoversteer or understeer. The ESCconstantly compares the actualmovement of the vehicle withpredetermined values and accordingto the situation ESC reacts by brakingeach wheel individually (according todirection of slip) and automaticallyadjusting the engine’s output.
Elements of ESC system:-
• ASR: anti-slip regulation tractioncontrol ensures the RapidSpaceback’s stability when pullingaway or accelerating. If the engine power or torque beingtransmitted to the drive wheels istoo great, for example on a slipperyroad surface, engine torque isautomatically reduced until optimum road holding returns, thus preventing wheelspin. A lightindicates whether the ASR system ison. It can be manually switched off.
• MSR: the engine torque controlsystem recognises when the wheelsare subject to too much slippageand regulates the power supply by intervening in the enginemanagement system. This preventswheelspin when, for example,changing down on a smooth or wetroad surface. MSR is a constituentpart of the ASR system.
• EDL: the electronic differential lockcontinually compares the rpm of thedrive wheels, and if it identifies adifference between them whichcould lead to an individual wheelspinning, for example if the twowheels are on different types ofsurface or accelerating on wetleaves, the system brakes the wheel affected until uniform rpm of all drive wheels is restored.
• HBA: Hydraulic brake assistantincreases the optimal build-up ofbrake power. It ensures complete useof the brake system potential, thusshortening the braking distance.
• DSR: Driver SteeringRecommendation – in a crisissituation it helps the driver stabilizea skid by making a slight interventionin the steering.
• ESBS: Electronic Stability BrakeSystem – targeted interventions in the braking process improve thehandling of a car as it brakes whenpassing round a bend and keeps itfrom veering.
• AFM: records and assesses allavailable data about the journey to optimize the ESC system’sreactions, which can thus beadapted to any driving style and the current vehicle payload.
