2015 Škoda Fabia first view

Following some earlier teaser shots, Škoda has released the first proper images of its all-new Fabia.

The styling bears many of the traits already seen on other recently-launched Škoda models such as the Rapid and Octavia. A broader stance and taut surface detailing, which have also been influenced by the VisionC concept, certainly give the design a smart and sophisticated look.

In Europe the engine line-up is going to comprise four petrol and three diesel options matched with either manual or dual-clutch DSG transmissions. Thanks partly to the standard fitment of stop-start and brake energy recuperation systems – plus a weight reduction of up to 65 kg (143 lbs) – this Fabia is claimed to be as much as 17% more fuel efficient than its predecessor.

Most economical will be the Greenline variant. Powered by a three-cylinder, turbocharged 1.4 litre diesel unit developing 73 bhp (55 kW / 75 PS), it achieves an impressive 91.1 mpg (3.1 l/100km) on the combined cycle while emitting 82 g/km of carbon dioxide.
