According to Autocar india, Skoda will launch its hatchback Fabia in a new avtaar on 12 Oct, with 3engine options. The 1.6 petrol, 1.2 petrol and the 1.2diesel which powers the VW Polo.
Polo vs Fabia is going to a good competition and to spice it up they are reducing the prices of the Fabia too , good move! Lets see how successful they are with the new Fabia!
Fabia is a good car. It looks like a shrunken sedan. A more powerful engine(1.8 TSI) of the Laura and the DSG auto box coupled with improved after sales can turn around the sales chart.Will also make a tempting buy for me at-least.
I am eagarly waiting for the facelifted Diesel varient to come infront of me. But are they going to work on engine noise as well. Because when i test drove Polo diesel, it felt like a trackter (noise wise) and turbo lag was there uptill 2K (+/- 200).
Skoda is launching Fabia on 12th October 2010, and with 1.6 liter engine it’s going to be the clash of titans in premium hatchback segment, both the cars prove to be solid rivals but Polo remains sportiest amongst two, whereas Fabia should be a nice family car, if not for the youngsters for that matter. Sill waiting to see what Skoda pulls out from the hat, and most importantly the Price!! If that is not set right, it will spoil the game yet again. What the 1.6 L will be called, The RS? Click Here.
The new Fabia is indeed slated for a 12th October launch. They have been shady about the launch of a vRS version, but they haven't said no, so I believe it is coming. As for the other bread-and-butter engines options, the 1.2 HTP Petrol is basically the same and the diesel is most probably gonna be the three-pot TDI from the VW Polo. I have been invited for a look by AutoBahn Skoda on the 12th of October itself so expect a detailed report from my side.
Whatever you are saying is true based on the information available on different sites but the truth is there is no information of launch neither in today's news paper nor at Skoda's site. They do have an information about new fabia site but that site is not opening up. "newskodafabia.co.in".
