Updated Skoda Fabia: now without diesel

9 February 2018

But with led headlights and 18-inch wheels

Once Skoda Fabia in Russia was one of the leaders in its segment. However, since then much water has flowed: in 2014 the third generation did not have to be assembled in Russia and imported from-for falling of ruble exchange rate proved to be too expensive, so the "Fabia" is no longer sold in our market. In this regard, examine the list of changes is a restyled version only of academic interest.

Most notably Skoda Fabia has changed front. The company's designers have changed lights and bumper, so now this little one looks more menacing. As an option for the car began to offer full-led headlights and rear lights. The maximum diameter of the factory disks has increased by an inch to 18.

Some metamorphoses happened with the interior. Diagonal screen multimedia system Swing increased from 5 to 6.5 inches. Declares support for Bluetooth and have USB and connector for memory cards format SD. More expensive system Plus Swing and Amundsen got support for Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and MirrorLink.

Offer for "Fabia" engines remained the same: liter "aspirated" power of MPI with 60 or 75 horsepower and a turbo engine of the same capacity, outstanding 95 or 110 HP. Where is the diesel engine? Previously Skoda Fabia in Europe were sold with three-cylinder 1.4 TDI, but now he was in the past. Apparently, the effects of oil and increasingly stringent requirements on exhaust. All versions of the car will be supplied with a manual transmission, only for the older 110-horsepower modifications you can order a "robot" DSG.

Public presentation of the updated model will be the sixth of March at the Geneva motor show. Shortly after the start of European sales.
