Although the platform remains more or less the same, the European Skoda Rapid derives its design philosophy from the MissionL and VisionD concepts. The European one is definitely a looker in a very Skoda way. It has a completely redesigned rear that opens like a hatch.

Here we have some driving footage of the European Skoda Rapid and we are mighty impressed by it.
