2015 Skoda Fabia 1.0 MPI three-cylinder 75 PS

 The Fabia is the brand’s second bestselling car right after the ŠKODA Octavia. Since its debut in 1999, the Czech car maker has sold almost 3.5 million Fabias worldwide to date (as of 31st August 2014). From the beginning, the ŠKODA Fabia has embodied all of ŠKODA’s good qualities: lots of space within compact exterior dimensions, a wide array of convenient solutions, fuel efficiency, dependable technology and excellent value for money. It is this combination which has made the Fabia one of the most popular cars of its class. 

A first for ŠKODA is the scope for individual configuration of the Fabia both inside and out. For instance, customers can choose from four colours for the roof, the mirror housings and the wheels. The car’s all-new interior impresses with quality, precise workmanship, a horizontal emphasis and a wide array of colours and colour combinations.

Skoda offers two 1.0 MPI three-cylinder engines on base models, which replace the older 1.2 units. They have indirect fuel injection and produce either 60 PS and 95 Nm for the base model or 75 PS and 95 Nm on the more powerful version. Two 1.2 TSI turbocharged units will also be offered, with either 90 PS or 110 PS. All engines comply with EU6 emission standards and come with a Start-Stop System and brake energy recovery. 

Power output in the petrol engines ranges from 44 kW (60 PS) to 81 kW (110 PS). The new three-cylinder diesel range offers between 55 kW (75 PS) and 77 kW (105 PS). Transmissions are modern manual or automatic DSG gearboxes.

Despite added technology and comfort, designers succeeded in significantly reducing the vehicle’s weight. Compared to the second generation, the new ŠKODA Fabia is up to 65 kg lighter (depending on vehicle configuration). The ŠKODA Fabia with a 1.0 MPI three-cylinder engine has a kerb weight (without the driver) of just 980 kg.
