Skoda Rapid
When people think sedan, it is usually about premium features, leather interiors, futuristic infotainment system, among others. However, the boxy design might be a whole lot to process for some. In any case, some still love sedans, especially sedans like Skoda Rapid.
A typical sedan consists of a three-box configuration with separate compartments for the engine, passengers, and cargo. That remains true for Rapid as well, reserving that classic sedan body.
There’s not a whole a lot to talk about here. It is a European brand with a reliable engine and good performance. Interestingly, Skoda Rapid is available in four different variants: Rapid Active, Rapid Ambition, Rapid Style, and Rapid Onyx.
You won’t notice a huge mechanical difference between the four variants besides the price tag since it is still the same car. Rather, the available features, paint scheme, along with interiors might slightly differ based on a specific variant.
Let me just give you a mantra to differentiate between them.
- Active is the affordable base variant
- Ambition is the best of both worlds
- Style is the expensive top variant
- Onyx is the Limited-Edition version, available only in Blue
Honestly, Skoda might be the only one to actively trying to sell sedans in 2019. Since Skoda Rapid is among the top-selling sedan in Nepal, no complains there. Just remember that mantra before you head out to shop!

Skoda Octavia
Like Skoda Rapid, Skoda Octavia is still a sedan at heart. But it offers so much more, especially when compared to the Rapid. It is more premium, more stylish, and more feature-rich.
Furthermore, you’ll get some cool looking CrystalGlo LED DRLs along with QuadraLED headlamps. Likewise, there are all these standard features like Auto-dimming rear mirrors, electrically foldable mirrors, light assistant matched to the 8-inch infotainment system. Plus, you’ll get to see the sharp exterior body edges which brings everything together.
Moreover, you’ll also get some amazing features like Handsfree Parking, Adaptive Lights, Safety Assists, and Comfort Assists. But that’s not the amazing part.
Everything I’ve just listed comes in the base variant, Skoda Octavia Style. Then, there the top variant called the Skoda Octavia L&K. Yes, I know that it cost so much… But if that’s the price of comfort and luxury.
So, is it worth it? I’ll let you decide that one.

Skoda Superb
As we move on with the list, the price list grows more premium and more exclusive. Yes, Skoda Superb is still somewhat of a sedan, but it is more practical. So, the keyword being “practical”. Basically, it takes the best part of sedans, SUVs, and hatchback puts them in a single bowel.
Skoda Superb looks amazing, perhaps one of the best-looking sedans right now. It offers good performance along with good handling and overall perfect ride experience.
Next thing is space, well, that’s one of the perks of buying Skoda sedans. Compared to its competition, Skoda Superb comes with plenty of legroom, headroom, and storage space! Basically, it puts everything great about Skoda cars in a single basket. In all honesty, this is a true marvel of engineering!

Skoda Kodiaq
“Skoda only sells SUVs?”
No. A few months ago, Skoda introduced its new 7-seater SUV in Nepal called Skoda Kodiaq. Following the rest of the lineup, Skoda Kodiaq is Skoda’s first luxurious take on the SUV segment.
Staying true to that, you can expect first-class features like attractive design, larger boot space, and muscular presence. While you still get a classic SUV body, but the edges give it a class of its own. Furthermore, you will get the top-tier features. But with the price of Rs. 1.52 Crore, you shouldn’t expect any less.
If I could go on and on about its features, we’d be here for the whole day. Let’s leave that for a different time. However, I will tell you this… Skoda Kodiaq looks like a promising car, but the price tag might be a little too much.
It’s supposed to be priced as an SUV, not a sports car, right?

Which Skoda Cars Should You Buy in Nepal?
As of this writing, Skoda only offers four different models in Nepal: Rapid, Octavia, Superb, and Kodiaq. All three—Rapid, Octavia, Superb—falls under the premium sedan category, while the Kodiaq is the only SUV on offer.
Going by the popularity, Skoda Rapid and Skoda Octavia seem to be everyone’s go-to car. Nobody would dare to question that judgment either, both—Rapid and Octavia—offer design, performance, and a certain Skoda luxury at that price point. Furthermore, it is comparatively “more affordable” than the rest on this list.
If you are into Skoda sedan with at that price point, I’d say choose between the two.
However, if you are looking for luxurious SUVs, Skoda Kodiaq is just asking too much. Maybe look elsewhere like Jeep Compass, Kia Sportage, Hyundai Creta, or even Mitsubishi Eclipse. But if you really want that “Skoda” name badge, you will somewhat get a bang for your buck.
