Skoda Fabia Facelift - Comes To India

[shailinder]

Read what 350Z has written in his post.
The info which i have, is not gathered from different sites, but from Skoda people at Nagpur.

And the launch ceremony has just begun at the Grand Hyatt Mumbai.

Akash,

I am not saying that you are checking different sites and updating at TAI. Let us clear this doubt first before we move forward.

An information is an information and it does not matter from where we have received it. I am sure you will agree with this

Skoda Nagpur and Skoda India web sites are two different things according to me (not sure about others). People says Skoda is based from Aurangabad (i dont know). If a company is launching a new product, then they should update the same on their site (basic marketing strategy).

However, you have mentioned a very interesting and important point about the opening ceremony at Mumbai.

Cheers

Oh boy, oh boy, I can't wait to see the new Fabia. Who knows, there might be another twist in the tale, and we might go in for a Fabia instead of another i10!

Oh, and no leather on any versions of the Fabia now -- OD Fb

Neither do I care to look at other sites. Be assured you’ll get the details of new Fabia latest by this evening.

Drive Safe,

No doubt on your word. We will surely have the information

I agree with you friend and i have taken everything in good spirits.
As for the issue of confirmation, i got the updates from the Skoda guy of this region.
And yes, the new Skoda Fabia website is not working which is not really appreciated. But thats their personal affair on which i would not like to comment.
And Shailender, just as our 350Z said, you will get all the details of the new Fabia soon.

Akash and Arkin, Thanks for the prompt updates. Pricing sounds much sensible this time and standard driver side Airbag is a good idea too. Some images from official website:

Nice set of images. Now what i see is that the pricing of Fabia has been lowered, features have been added(rear ac vents, standard driver side airbag), and theres a slight refreshment in the exterior design which makes Fabia a VFM package.
@Arkin- I hope you are reading this.

 

[350Z]

The only concern now left unfortunately is about Skoda’s tad high maintenance costs. Hope they look into this as well so that buyers can non-hesitantly consider going with this perfectly well-finished premium hatchback.

Fantastic pricing by skoda!! Now Fabia is cheaper than i20, polo and punto!!

*Arkin_Young*, I heard that rear a/c vents are there in punto and i20 too

Btw , Fabia seems to be a VFM package than Polo with lot more features than the latter

 

[vishal kamboj]

oh competitive price of fabia but very late for me .. though good step atlast .
yeah fabia is a vfm now .
but punto still costs less 1.3 multi jet emotion pack costs 6.47 lakhs ex delhi
yes punto and 120 both have rear ac vents . so fabia doesnt have this as segment 1st

*Arkin_Young*, I heard that rear a/c vents are there in punto and i20 too

I dont think i20/Punto has rear ac vents. I dont think any hatch of this segment has rear ac vents.
