Skoda Rapid Spaceback prices from £14,340 Skoda has confirmed prices for its Rapid Spaceback hatchback, which is available to order now, will start from £14,340. The Rapid Spaceback is designed to appeal to younger buyers than the existing Rapid hatchback, which went on sale in autumn 2012. It shares the same underpinnings and front end, but is 18cm shorter and has a more upright rear window and more sharply-styled rear quarters. A choice of three trim levels will be available. Entry-level S models have air-conditioning and front electric windows, but you need to upgrade to SE trim to gain alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, cruise control and Bluetooth connectivity. Top-spec Elegance trim includes climate control and a height-adjustable passenger seat. Prices range from £14,340 for the 1.2 TSI S to £18,640 for the 1.6 TDI 105 Greentech. First customer deliveries will be in January 2014. Read our Skoda Rapid review
