The Fabia 1.4 Petrol is not Bharat Stage 4.The diesel is.
The 1.4 Lit petrol was discontinued long back, after the new Small Car norms (excise benefits) came into picture.
Now, even the 1.2 is discontinued, and the only live model after the Euro norms is the diesel.
Eagerly awaiting the facelift, though that is going to push my re-sale values down the toilet!!

@Aditya- Since it is a minor facelift, i dont think the resale value will go down with a big amount.

Well, I should not be really worried, it is a company car, and by the time it is handed over to me, it would be at a depreciated price, which should still beat the resale values.
But even minor facelifts always have an impact on resale values, if for no other reason that it "dates" your car.

Changes –

> New front headlamps look sleeker and sportier.

> The lines on the bonnet and the grille have been sharpened making the Fabia look smarter.

> The vertical slats in the lower airdam give way to horizontal slats on the new bigger and wider airdam.

> New fog lamps are bigger and fill up the lower part of the bumper neatly.

> Rear tail lamps are the same but have been slightly freshened.

> Interiors get a new audio system, chrome finishes on the A/C vents and gear lever.

> New steering wheel that looks like the Laura’s. New back-light for instrument console
