2020 Skoda Rapid BS6 Service and Maintenance Cost Explained - All Details

Skoda recently launched the new Karoq SUV, Rapid BS6 and the Superb Facelift in the Indian market. The Rapid BS6 is the most affordable offering from the Czech car manufacturer in India. Its base variant was priced very aggressively, and the Rapid Rider gained so much traction that the booking was halted within just a few weeks of its launch. Buoyed by the success of the Rider, Skoda launched a new base variant of the Rapid called the Rapid Rider Plus. It is even better than the Rider and gets plenty of features too. Many of you are interested in buying the new Rapid, but you are sceptical about its service cost. So, today we have a detailed article on the Service and Maintenance Cost of the new 2020 Skoda Rapid BS6.

Before we begin, let me tell you that we are considering all the service intervals and maintenance costs. While most mass-market cars in India have a service interval of 10,000 kilometres or one year, the Rapid is a bit different and good. The new Rapid BS6, like the earlier BS4 Rapid, has a service interval of 15,000 kilometres or one year. Below, we have embedded a table that lists the total service cost you need to pay each time you go for the car's servicing. This table lists the cost for up to 6 years or 90,000 kilometres. Also, the breakage of these servicing costs is explained in multiple tables below.

Please do note that we believe a user has the right to take out the Rs 1,400 charges for wheel alignment and balancing and instead get it done outside for a lesser amount. If this is allowed without hampering the warranty, the service costs come down even more! Now, coming to the breakage of the service costs, these are mentioned with all the items in the tables below:

1st Service (1 year or 15,000 kilometres)

2nd Service (2 years or 30,000 kilometres)

3rd Service (3 years or 45,000 kilometres)

4th Service (4 years or 60,000 kilometres)

5th Service (5 years or 75,000 kilometres)

6th Service (6 years or 90,000 kilometres)

So, these were the Service and Maintenance Costs of the new 2020 Skoda Rapid BS6. The car's service intervals have quite a gap, and the service costs aren't prohibitive so that it won't burn a hole in your pocket. A BS6-compliant 1.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine powers the new Rapid. This motor churns out 110 PS of power and 175 Nm of peak torque. The engine is coupled to a 6-speed manual gearbox, and the ARAI-certified fuel efficiency is 18.9 km per litre. It is sold in five variants with prices ranging between Rs. 7.99 lakhs - Rs. 11.79 lakhs, Ex-showroom Pan-India.
