Lada Xray or Skoda Rapid - compare what is better?

Comparing Lada X Rey and Skoda Rapid, it is necessary to carefully approach the issue of engines, gearboxes and complete sets.

The release of the new domestic hatchback Lada X Rey to the market did not remain unnoticed, especially given how popular this model has become. Nevertheless, competitors did not sleep and definitely were not going to give their piece of market cake without a fight. One of the most titled rivals of the Russian car became Liftbak Skoda Rapid, who at one time took the place of Octavia, who moved into a more expensive segment.

And this means that the rivalry of the two models is very sharp, especially given the fact that prices for cars although they differ, but not so that an order (however, it is only at first glance). And therefore, find out what is better - Lada X Rei or Skoda Rapid - Needless!

Prestige and dimensions

It is no secret that foreign cars are quoted in Russia higher than domestic models, except, except, "Chinese". Nevertheless, Skoda has always been considered as a "folk model", which, although not so fashionable as Volkswagen or Audi, but technically little is inferior to them. Naturally, all this positively affects the Renome Skoda Rapid, raising his status in the eyes of the buyer.

Dimensions of X Reia

As for Lada Xray, the domestic hatchback, of course, actively conquers the audience sympathies, but it is impossible not to admit that he has long been a long way to success. Therefore, Skoda is still preferable.

Gabarits.	Lada Xray.	Skoda Rapid
	4165 mm	4483 mm
Width	1764 mm
	1570 mm	1474 mm
Wheelbase	2592 mm
Front track	1492 mm	1463 mm
Rear squat	1532 mm
	195 mm	170 mm
Volume of trunk	361 L (1207 l)
	1190 kg (1650 kg)	1470 kg (1565 kg)

Rapid parameters

From the comparison of the dimensions of X Reia and Rapid, it is clear that the Czech elevatback is much longer, but also below. The wheelbase is approximately the same, but in terms of the road lumen of Lada, it is far ahead - she has more than 25 mm. On the other hand, Skoda puts its competitor on both blades of the trunk, which is not surprising, because the trunk has long become a business card from the Czech Republic.

The trunk rapid is impressive

Exterior

Different type of body of both models largely predetermined and different exterior. Consequently, in this respect, everything will depend not only on taste, but also from the preferences of the body gamma.

Exterior Lada Iks Ray accurately will like to face connoisseurs of aggression in the image. And this is not an empty bravada, although it is natural, in comparison with the concept of hatchback, it looks not so expressive. Especially impressive bends on the sidewalls, made in the form of the letter "X", exciting do not only do the doors, but still bumper and wings.

The front, with its spruce, together with a radiator grille and an air intake, edged with chromed moldings, in the same form of the ICA, it looks very profitable and perfectly combined with headlights. Yes, and feed with a massive black overlay in the rear bumper, and anti-fifth door, it also fits well into the image.

The appearance of Skoda Rapid, which was updated in 2017, clearly confirms the success of the policy of many autocompany, including Skoda - if it is necessary that the model is in the spotlight, it is necessary to do with small edits and declare restyling that, in fact, and It was done.

Updates are small, but they are, and so invisible that restyled Rapid can easily be confused with a richer version. And indeed, how many will notice the rear lights with diodes, updated fog lights and new optics equipped with strips of diode DRL? But on this, there are significant changes in the image of the Czech elefbeck and end.

As can be seen, in the question, to choose, Lada X Ray or Skoda Rapid, you will have to navigate only for your own preferences.

Specifications

In this case, it is worth recognizing that Rapid is better than X Reia. The fact is that there is a superiority of Liftback, both in terms of power aggregates and in terms of gearboxes. However, about everything in more detail ...

Engines

Here is the advantage of Rapid, since the motor gamma has wider than this model. Nevertheless, there are no diesel engines, although Skoda often made a bet on the "Solyaroid" aggregates.

Begins the "Cell" line with a budget 1.6-liter atmospheric. Its power is very small and is only 90 liters. With., although they are available at 4250 across. However, it helps a bit of 155 nm to 3,800 about. Thanks to this, the liftbek is minimized for 11.4 seconds, under the limit of 185 km / h, which is not so bad. Yes, and consumption at 7.8 liters in the city is small.

It goes the same in volume in 1.6 liters of a 16-valve, but already 110-strong. The peak of the power of the motor is 5800 across., And the same as the previous engine, the moment in 155 nm is achieved on the same 3800 across. The increase in power has a beneficial effect on a dynamics, which has improved to 10.3 seconds., And maximum speed, grown to 195 km / h, while maintaining a flow rate of 7.9 liters.

1.4 MPI 110 l. from.

The competitor of this motor was the basic engine Lada Ix Ray, a volume of 1.6 liters and with a capacity of 106 liters. p., which is combined with a torque of 148 nm at 4,200 o'clock. It was created by the engineers of the Russian autocompany, recycling and improving the type of VAZ-21129. It is worth recognizing that drawdown in power and moment, relatively with a 110-strong Czech unit, led to a lag in 1.1 seconds. In acceleration and 21 km / h at maximum speed - 11.4 seconds. and 174 km / h, respectively. Yes, and gasoline consumption is higher - more than 9 liters.

1.6-Strong Motor Iks Reia

In the top of Skoda Rapid offers the buyer very rare for the segment in the unit. This is a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine with a direct fuel injection. Despite the fact that its volume seems modest, such a motor gives rapid explosive temperament, which is not surprising, from 125 liters. from. and 200 nm of the moment!

Hawk Rapid 1.4 TSI runs in just 9 seconds, which is just excellent for class V. Yes and the maximum speed of 208 km / h almost out of competition. Cherry on the cake - 7 liters in the city!

1.4 TSI 125 l. from.

Lada Iks Rey meets its own top engine. However, unlike Cene, the hatchback under the hood is a simple atmospheric, a volume of 1.8 liters and an impact of 122 liters. from. It is worth noting that this is a new development of a Russian company. Considering the injection layout, the power is quite at the level, like a moment in 170 nm.

However, the lack of a turbine led to a loss in dynamics and maximum speed - 10.4 seconds to hundreds and 185 km / h, respectively. Consumption is also significantly more - 9.3 liters. in the town.

122-Strong Motor Iks Reia

In general, it is worth recognizing that on the part of the engines Skoda Rapid is better than Lada X Rei. The motor range of the European model is wider, but it ensures the presence of a turbocharged aggregate. On the other hand, minus such an engine consists in its complexity (the presence of a turbine, intercooler, air ducts and other components) and, as a result, more expensive maintenance.

Transmissions

If we consider the topic that better - Lada Xa Ray or Skoda Rapid - in the context of the gearboxes, it is impossible not to recognize the significant advantage of the Czech model.

However, in terms of mechanical transmissions there is an approximate equality. Both models are equipped with 5-speed MCPP. Russian Hatchtbek has a French box, and the Czech Liftback has its own development.

Mechanics Rapida

Whatever it was, but there are no complaints about the nodes - the transmission is included clearly, pleases short-speed, there are no departures and in risen, etc. It is worth noting that the Xray mechanic is available for any motor, while Rapid is only In a pair with 90-strong and 110-strong atmospheric.

MCPP5 Lada

But on the part of the automatic gearbox is the fullest advantage at Skoda. The fact is that the Xi Ray is equipped only with a 5-speed AMT type robot, developed on the basis of MT 21826 series mechanics. The transmission is generally not bad, but the delays in switching still take place.

5-range AMT Lada Xray

Rapid also offers a choice of 2 boxes. The first is a 6-range classic machine, which is available with a 110-power engine. The quality of his work is no doubt - clear switches, fast response to kick-down and so on.

But there is a better option. This is a 7-range preselective DSG transmission, which works in a pair of 1.4 TSI. No wonder DSG is recognized as the best PPC at the moment! Switching instantaneous, impressive economy, cheerful dynamics and other advantages.

As can be seen, the Czechs did not shake on the gearbox for their model. But there are some reservations. X Rei is equipped with a robot, not an ordinary machine, in order to reduce the price of cars. And the plus of AMT is its unpretentiousness. Regarding the DSG Skoda, then, with all its merits, reliability, this transmission is no different, repair, by the emergency complexity of the node, very expensive. In addition, during a long tribute ride, DSG begins to twitch when switching due to overheating.

Chassis

Unlike transmissions, constructively suspension Lada X Rey and Skoda Rapid is the same. There is no one modification of a completely independent multi-lock circuit. Both machines are equipped with a semi-dependent chassis, with a torsion beam on the rear axle. In general, there are no problems with handling of competitors.

But the character varies a bit. Lada Xray suspension is highlighted by its energy intensity, thanks to which it can even rolling through the roads, it is not particularly experiencing, because to break the racks still need to try! And about small irregularities on the Russian hatchback and forget at all. However, there is a minus - these are rolls in turns. Yes, the chassis is not bad, but the height of the car and considerable clearance do their job.

Skoda Rapid rulits itself overseas, and the owners do not complain about excessive rigidity. However, this is true only for 1.6-liter versions. Engine 1.4 TSI is heavy enough, plus the DSG mass affects. As a result, riding on such a modification is noticeably tougher, although they won't call the car "oak".

By part of the Pentility, the Xi Rei is better rapid, and significantly! After all, the clearance in 195 mm is not every parkerchief. In addition, the disabled system ESS is very reversed - with it the domestic hatchback easily leaves such places where it does not come out on Rapid. Naturally, with a complete drive, Xray capabilities would be much more, but even with the ESC, the advantage of the Lada is evident.

And in the plot of "Frequent Mechanics" representatives of AvtoVAZ clearly showed everything that the hatchback is capable outside asphalt.

Interior

Inside competitors, a completely different approach to the stylistics is traced. That is why identify the winner between Lada X Rey and Skoda Rapid in this round will be not easy.

The Xray salon is created under the exterior. The seats are very worthy, as for its segment, with the exception of basic complete sets, where the lumbar side is located too low. In addition, plastic of different textures, though it does not affect comfort, but in the soul not to all owners of the car.

The dashboard flashes with beautiful wells and illumination. The large screen is located on the central console, and the elongated blowing deflectors look very good. In general, the interior of the hatchback is sharpened under active ride.

The approach of the Chekhov is completely different and, for them, traditional. Salon Rapid is strict and correct, to some extent even pedantic. It is not surprising that he has both angel fans and opponents that believe that the interior is too boring.

Yes, inside the liftback you feel as if in the office, where there is not enough desk lamp and secretaries. On the other hand, high-quality materials and impeccable ergonomics like many. Seats are good, but you can order optional, with integrated headrests.

Configuration and prices

Lada Xray offers customers 3 configuration - Optima, Luxe and Exclusive. Skoda Rapid versions also 3 - Entry / Active, Ambition, Style. The price of Lada Iks Ray is lower than on Skoda Rapid. In the database, it starts from 599900 rubles against 611,000 rubles from Rapid. In the maximum configuration, the difference is much more significant - 830900 rubles for Lada and 956400 rubles for Skoda.

In more detail with prices and equipment Skoda Rapid, you can read the link

As can be seen, the difference in price between Lada X Rey and Skoda Rapid is definitely there. And if it is almost imperceptible in the database, then in the top reaches the impressive amount of 125,000 rubles, and this is very much when buying a car class B. Nevertheless, buying rapid in the top, you will get both a turbocharged 1.4-liter motor in a bundle With preselective DSG box. Therefore, with the technical side, the overpayment is quite justified.

Optima equipment

But with the equipment are not so simple. The fact is that the approach to the price list of AvtoVAZ and Skoda is completely different. When buying X Reia, 3 fixed configurations are offered, as well as a surcharge of 12,000 rubles per metallic color.

If you buy rapid, then a lot of additional options is added to the equipment in the equipment themselves, and even the top version of the style can be performed very well. In addition, options can be chosen both in packages and separately. Naturally, the advantages of this approach are obvious, because you can order a car "for yourself" by choosing all the necessary options. On the other hand, the price of rapid, if you equip it "on the full program", it takes off simply to the skies and easily overtakes for 10,000,000 rubles!

As can be seen, it is most advisable to compare Lada X RAY VS Skoda Rapid with 1.6-liter engines, since it is with them the price at approximately one level. Yes, Czech elefbeck can be retained, but the configuration of the Russian model and so rather generous, because the osku regulator is unlikely to feel deprived.

Turn

Gemini-brothers. You can only distinguish them in size and individual items. Very similar

What comparisons of two cars ask themselves many of this question. After all, the potential buyer can determine his own choice. Although additional information, which is given in comparison, the most occupy displays the position of things. Immediately you can see which of the cars has, for example, a wide line of engines, which model is a comprehensive trunk and in which of the cars presented is better equipping. Which of the represented cars consumes more fuel, and which is more economical and so on.

Considering two cars, Skoda Rapid VS Skoda Octavia, comparing their equipment and specifications, finding out what one car is significantly different from the other you can fold the puzzles and find out for yourself weak and (or) the strengths of these models.

External differences

Both car of the Czech concern Skoda from the first time is almost impossible to distinguish, so they are similar. But there are still differences in the appearance. Small differences of radiator grille. Minor differences in the headlight configuration. Bumper is also identical. The sides of both machines are also equal. The OCTAVIA window is slightly bent upwards, and the competitor has more classic forms. Perhaps manufacturers should think about the exterior of their cars, what would not let clones in the future?

Photos from the official site Skoda - the main differences in the exterior of cars

Differences in the interior

Salons tested cars like brothers Gemini. The same plastic quality, finishing, not differing originality. In the finish and application of new technological advanced solutions are not. The location of the instruments and visibility is on the same level. The front passenger chair and the driver are quite comfortable and practical. Places in the front of the cars are quite enough. Although passengers located in the Oktavia salon will feel more comfortable. This became possible due to large sizes. On the stuffing the car there is no point in talking as cars are performed almost the same. Comparisons on the interior and the decoration of the cabin can be finished.

Engine and transmission

Skoda Octavia: This model has more powerful power units. Their power is respectively at Octavia 103 l / forces and 84 Rapid horses. Agree that 19 horses "make the weather" in the power of any car, 18% of the benefits speak for themselves. Although lovers of more l / forces need a stock of money to pay for transport tax. Maybe this is minus?

Performance

More »Small" Skoda Octavia accelerates to 100 km / h in 10 seconds against 11.4 seconds from the "Turtle" Skoda Rapid. The difference though insignificant is only 1.4 seconds, but ... the maximum speed that the octavia shows 196 km / h is 13 km / h more than at Skoda Rapid. Its opportunities stopped on the figure 183 km / h.

Fuel tank

The 5 liters are less placed in the Skoda Rapid fuel tank - 50 liters whereas the OCTAVIA tank includes 55 liters of fuel.

Emissions

Skoda Octavia smaller smokes with harmful emissions. This model has only 114 g / km. Skoda Rapid smokes indecent more - by 5 g / km. The performance indicators departing into the atmosphere are 119 g / km.

Wheels and tires

Skoda Octavia 2686 mm and Skoda Rapid \u003d 2602 mm wheel base.

Dimensions and luggage compartment

Rapid 448 cm car length, Skoda Octavia on 19.4cm more competitor. The indicators of its length are expressed by a number of 467.4 cm. In width, cars are practically similar. 181.4 cm in Octavia and 117 cm at RAPID 181.4 cm.

This is a luggage compartment Octavia

Luggage compartment at Rapid

The volume of the trunk rapid on the passport is 550 liters. The volume of the luggage compartment of the Okavia is 568 liters. 20 OCTAVIA spare liters take it out of these indicators in leaders.

Weight

Octavia is 120 kg heavier, its weight is 1255 kg. Skoda Rapid weighs 1135 kg respectively.

Base

Oktavia car, according to the manufacturers, belongs to the "d" - class, and Rapid to the "b" - class. But not everything is so unequivocal. Skoda Rapid is on the basis of Folkswagen Polo. This causes its rates of greater length and volumetric luggage compartment. Accordingly, the car's salon wins in size. In both tested car body and the luggage compartment are made in the format of "Liftbek". This is a kind of business card of Czech models, their chips.

What is common at Skoda Octavia VS. Skoda Rapid?

At both models, the fuel supply is carried out by direct injection with turbocharging. The number of speeds is almost the same: Okavia 6, Skoda Rapid - 5. There are practically no external discrepancies. The salon of both cars is made in one style. The fuel tank is almost the same.

The cost of cars of different class is of course different.

In the minimum configuration, which means that the car is absent, there are no windows, there are no windows and audio systems. Completely the machine is deprived of the bottom of the bottom and comes without additional airbags. In this form, with such a, gently say zero equipment, the cost of Skoda Octavia - 624000.00 rubles. In a more decent configuration, the cost of the car will increase to the figure of 800,000.00 rubles.

As for the car Rapid, prices begin with numbers 479000.00 rubles. The car "decent" configuration will pull 550000.00 or more.

conclusions

Of course, there are external differences from these cars, but barely noticeable. Although cars of different qualifications class cars. Machines on the road behave differently. In emergency situations, a smaller car with greater weight will naturally suffer.

It seems that Rapid is a polo hybrid - a sedan crossed with the design of Octavia. What would be better to know it better look at Volkswagen Polo cars, Hyundai Solaris, Kia Rio and make comparisons with them.

Continuing to discuss the Auto note that the Skoda Octavia car is a technically equipped machine. But it all depends on

It is worth noting that Skoda Octavia itself is in technical terms a rather diverse car. But, unfortunately, everything is tied to the configuration. For example, beautiful feedback on the work of the car suspension in the "top" configuration. Differently respond to the work of the suspension owners of cars with a weaker package.

We want to add - we are not advisers and not adherents of a car. We only showed the differences in these two, in general, good cars.

Skoda Rapid appeared on the Russian car market in 2014 and on the idea of \u200b\u200bthe automaker should take place between Fabia and Octavia. Perhaps the idea was successful. Consider the differences in more detail.

Appearance

The exterior and the interior of Rapid is almost completely borrowed by the elder brother - Skoda Octavia. They are very similar. The inexperienced observer may even confuse them. The main difference is the dimensions, but not everyone has a good eyes :-) So now many octavia will perceive as "whether Rapid, or Oktavia drove."

Base

The car Skoda Octavia according to the applications of manufacturers belongs to (previous models of the CC-class), and Rapid to the B class. But not everything is so unequivocal.

In the Skoda Rapid uses the base from Volkswagen Polo. From here a spacious long salon and a large trunk, which were previously uncharacteristic for the B-class.

The body and trunk in both machines has the format of "Liftbek", which is a "chip" of Skoda.
