The car is available in both petrol and diesel variants will be powered by a 1.6 litre engine. It is based on group firm VW's Vento platform.
"India is a very important market for us. There was a gap between our compact car Fabia and the sedan Laura. To fill that gap, we have launched the Rapid in the C segment," Skoda Auto India marketing head Tarun Jha told reporters.
"This car is specifically designed for India and the launch will be the global launch for the car. At a later stage, it may be introduced in different markets across the world. At present, the company is not exporting any car from India," Jha said.
The company said it is targeting sales of more than 2,000 cars per month. The petrol variant of Rapid is pitched against the Honda City, while it will be Hyundai for the diesel variant.
On sales, Jha said, "It may become the best-selling car for us in India. It may be a game changer for us."
