The debut show of the novelty will be held in the fall of this year at the International Parisian Autage Hall. Then the model will go on sale in Europe. The start of car sales in the Russian market is scheduled for 2013. The novelty will take in the Skoda lineup a line between Skoda Fabia and Octavia. The manufacturer notes that it is on the Rapid model that a large bet is made in the development of the brand.
