if u buying the parts from taopao make sure its for RHD. Else will have problem fixing. Sometimes its too much trouble as well as must pry open the covers.

Very slow, not much use. Save the money for other stuff.

I have it in my Kodiaq, its next to useless. It takes forever to charge the phone and it heats up the phone. I think you will be better with a portable charger or plug it into the USB to charge.

It's not even fast wireless charging, too slow to be useful.

Only RS and Kodiaq have? Superb confirm don't have paddles.

Any L&K owners measured their wheel size? Is 7.0Jx19" stated in the brochure. Same as ambition, smaller than AP.

Suspect is a typo.

Most of the available paddle shifters in the aftermarket fit the mk7 golf onwards. They will not fit the skoda RS. Leyo has not made it for the skoda yet, so don't waste your money to buy the wrong thing.

Anyone who has driven the skoda RS long enough will tell you, there is good reason why there is no point to put these paddles. It just does not work. The current sizing works great, have to applaud the skoda styling for that, they got it damn right.

They can also honour the specs and swap out yours to 7x19.

OK, this model is not available for Singapore, but no harm sharing. While everyone thought the Rapid has been replaced by Scala, the new model (or likely a facelift of the outgoing one) is going to be on sale in China, India and Russia. And it look quite good actually. This is the sibling of Seat Toledo, in case anyone find the body line look a tad too familiar...

Skoda has had quite the year in terms of model launches as the Czech brand has updated its lineup from top to bottom with the facelifted Superb and the electric Citigo, not to mention the next-gen Octavia and the Kamiq small crossover. We could see one more new car before the end of 2019 as the company’s Russian division has dropped two fresh teasers of the new Rapid.

Wait, didn’t the Rapid die when the Scala was launched? Not quite, while the VW Golf-rivaling five-door hatchback has effectively replaced the budget-friendly family car in most markets, in countries such as Russia, India, and China it soldiers on and it’s even getting a new generation. The reasoning behind this decision is the Scala is a more upscale product and therefore pricier, while the Rapid uses the same recipe as the Dacia Logan by offering no-frills motoring easy on the wallet.

Skoda isn’t willing to go into any details about the new Rapid, although it does mention it will retain its practical five-door liftback body style. It’ll be interesting to see whether the slightly shorter Rapid Spaceback will live to see another day, although we wouldn’t get our hopes up too high. The interior remains a mystery at this point, but knowing Skoda, it will keep things simple with a straightforward dashboard design without the high-end features of the more expensive Octavia.

The fact that Skoda has both the Rapid and Scala in its portfolio goes to show how far the brand has come in recent years since it now caters to different regions of the world with multiple models. Other relevant examples include the Kodiaq GT and the recently launched Kamiq GT, which are both a China-only affair.
