Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo available in Ireland
First revealed at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the model will be available as both a hatchback and Combi Estate version and is the flagship of the Fabia range.
The Fabia Monte Carlo comes to Ireland with a choice of engines; three petrol and two diesel options. The petrol range consists of 1.0-litre 75bhp petrol, 1.2-litre 90bhp petrol, and 1.2-litre 110bhp petrol, which in this version is available with the option of a 7-speed DSG automatic.
The diesel offering is a choice of a 1.4-litre TDI with 90bhp (in manual or automatic) or a 1.4-litre TDI with 105bhp.
With its attractive visual appearance, sporty interior and comprehensive equipment, the new Fabia Monte Carlo is said to be one of the most exciting vehicles in its class.
The most important features of the Fabia Monte Carlo include black 16 or 17in alloy wheels, optional sports suspension, black exterior design elements, SunSet (tinted rear window and rear side windows), rear parking sensors as well as a tinted panoramic glass roof. The interior comes with a leather three-spoke sports steering wheel, black interior and sports seats.
Raymond Leddy, head of marketing and product at ˇSkoda Ireland, said: “The Monte Carlo range has been very successful for us here in Ireland. We are delighted to see it offered now as a Combi Estate too, which we feel is a really attractive offering. This is a really striking car and the fact that it is offered in a choice of engines too makes it even more appealing to a wider audience.”
A tyre that performs equally well on sun-baked roads in summer and snow-covered roads in winter has been invented by Michelin.
