They have the same engines, interior and basic design. In fact only the headlights and grille are different. The Rapid was more popular though and so there are more used examples about. To slightly confuse things there’s also the Skoda Rapid Spaceback which is a more conventional hatchback but offers the same lots-of-space-in-a-small-package
