Škoda Rapid Spaceback got "all-terrain" version

Skoda has revealed a more rugged version of its Rapid Spaceback, dubbed the ScoutLine.

Set to go on sale in Europe this July, although already confirmed as not coming to the UK, the ScoutLine features more rugged styling than that of the standard car and is designed, according to Skoda, to help the Czech brand forge a more emotional connetion with its customers.

New styling elements on the ScoutLine include redesigned front and rear bumpers, which have been styled to give the car an off-road look, as well as new side skirts. The car can be ordered with either 16in or 17in alloy wheels.

Power will come from engines already featuring as part of the Rapid Spaceback range, although they do not include the brand's frugal Greenline line-up. The three petrol options range from 89bhp to 123bhp, with two diesels offering 89bhp and 114bhp.
