Compare: Nissan Teana and Skoda rapid


If you are thinking to buy a sedan in the Indian market, you will find no dearth of options. This time we compare two new sedans- Nissan Teana and Skoda rapid. Nissan had launched its powerful sedan Teana that is priced at around 26lacs. Known for being truly class inside and out, it offers a plethora of features on the top variant XV. 

Its powerful VQ V6 engine offers a smooth ride even on the toughest roads. The best part of Nissan Teana is the rear seat comfort, which remains unparalleled by other sedans of this range. The cozy and upscale interiors feature some real nifty features in the dashboard. On the flip side, the sluggish rpm response can be annoying, especially for the overwhelming price. The audio quality of the music system is quite average as compared to other models.

Contrary to the giant priced Teana, Skoda Rapid is excellent for the features it delivers in a small price of 8lacs. While it looks remarkably similar to Volkswagen’s Vento, some features have been smartly covered by Skoda designers. It offers a mature ride with inspiring dynamics and chassis. The easy automated transmission is coupled with smooth steering for those who like to glide in city traffic. It is priced much lower than Vento and offers ample class and elegance for the entry level class of sedans. On the flip side, the petrol model does not run as efficiently as the diesel, and the after service of Skoda may scare a few customers
