India's leading automaker Skoda Auto India is planning a range of new cars under the VW Group's India 2.0 project which comes into action next year.

After hitting the international market, The next-gen Rapid was speculated for arrival in India, but now such might not be the case. Skoda India head has confirmed while replying to a tweet. In a tweet he wrote, “We will not have a new Rapid for India. At the end of next year we will launch a new bigger sedan based on the new MQB AO platform," said Zac Hollis, Director – Sales, Service & Marketing at ŠKODA AUTO India.

Skoda Rapid will be replaced by the new, bigger sedan will take place by the end of 2021 and will be based on the locally developed MQB A0 IN platform. The official name of the new sedan is going to be revealed later in 2021, and the automaker has previously trademarked the name Slavia in India, which in fact could be used for the upcoming sedan. However, it is not officially confirmed yet.
