The diesel range of the new Fabia gets a 1.4-liter three-cylinder TDI unit capable of 75 bhp, 90 bhp or 105 bhp. A 5-speed manual gearbox is fitted standard on the diesel range, while the most powerful petrol can be had with a 7-speed DSG.
The engines are announced to be 17 percent more efficient than the outgoing model. The car as such is 65 kg lighter compared to its predecessor.
For now, Skoda Auto India have no plans to launch the new Fabia in India. In Europe, the car competes with the VW Polo, the new Hyundai i20 and the upcoming Honda Jazz to name a few.
