Škoda introduces the 2022 Fabia Monte Carlo
A sporty-looking Monte Carlo trim grade is now available for the fourth-generation Škoda Fabia.
On the outside, its grille, 17” ‘Procyon’ alloy wheels, door mirror caps, side skirts and rear diffuser all have a black finish. Unique bumpers, LED headlights, privacy glass and special badges also feature.
However, if that’s not distinctive enough, then a black roof and larger 18” ‘Libra’ wheels both appear on the options list.
The interior gains sports seats, a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel and some faux carbon-fibre inlays. Red strips on the dashboard, centre console and armrests serve to brighten things up a bit.
Also fitted as standard is a ‘Bolero’ infotainment system. Controlled via an 8” colour touchscreen, compatibility with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay should mean smartphone pairing is an easy process. Alternatively, paying extra to upgrade to the ‘Amundsen’ adds a larger 9.2” touchscreen (with gesture response), a navigation function and a Wi-Fi hotspot.
Furthermore, every Fabia Monte Carlo comes with a Virtual Cockpit. This 10.25” digital display – which takes the place of traditional instruments – can be configured to show various items.
Customers will have a choice of three powertrains.
An entry-level 1.0 TSI three-cylinder petrol engine produces 110 PS (108 bhp / 81 kW) plus 200 Nm (147 lb-ft) of peak torque. With a six-speed manual gearbox, the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint is achieved in 10.0 seconds, while fuel economy on the WLTP combined cycle is 57.6 mpg (4.9 l/100km). Specifying a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission instead changes those figures to 9.9 seconds and 52.3 mpg (5.4 l/100km) respectively.
Better performance is promised by a 1.5 TSI four-cylinder unit mated to the DSG transmission. Indeed, with 150 PS (148 bhp / 110 kW) and 250 Nm (184 lb-ft), the benchmark sprint takes 8.0 seconds and a top speed of 139 mph (225 km/h) is possible. Thanks partly to active cylinder technology, 50.4 mpg (5.6 l/100km) on the combined cycle suggests that efficiency isn’t too bad, either.
Škoda has yet to announce UK prices for the new Fabia Monte Carlo.
