Prices have been confirmed with all model variants receiving specification enhancements, with some model versions even decreasing in price. The entry price to the Fabia range is €13,895 for the 1.0-litre, 60bhp Active.

Since its debut back in 2000, over 3.4 million Fabia vehicles have been sold worldwide and ?Skoda has very high hopes for the all new Fabia, now in its third generation.

In addition to cosmetic changes, the Fabia receives a completely new line-up of petrol and diesel engines coupled to manual and DSG transmissions. The entry to the range is the petrol 1.0-litre MPI, 60bhp with turbo-charged 1.2-litre TSI 90bhp and 110bhp also in the offering. The new Fabia is derived from the MQP platform from the Volkswagen Group resulting in exceptional driving dynamics and efficiencies. The new car is 65kg lighter than its forerunner and that contributes to CO2 and Fuel Efficiency savings of up to 15% in the entry petrol offering. The most fuel-efficient diesel delivers on average 3.4 l/100km (83 mpg).

The Fabia also provides a glimpse of the future as to how mobile devices will connect to vehicles through the MirrorLink system. Offered as an option, MirrorLink provides Maps and Navigation, Music and Weather reports to the driver through the vehicle via their mobile device.
