There will be no facelift for the car, however, but expect slightly different treatment to the interiors and some more equipment to come as standard. The steering wheel for one will change to the one we see in modern Skodas like the new Superb. This also means the 1.6-litre diesel that the Skoda Rapid currently comes with will be discontinued. The 2015 MY Skoda Rapid with the new 1.5-litre diesel will also be available with a 5-speed manual gearbox
