When the rear seats of the car are folded down, the loading capacity increases to up to 1,150 litres. The rear is spacious with width of 1,098 mm. The loading area is 960 mm wide, which is 2 cm wider than the previous generation.

    Nine entirely new ‘Simply Clever’ features are available with 2015 Skoda Fabia. These include MirrorLink technology, which allows smartphone apps to be displayed on the screen of the infotainment system, an ice scraper in the fuel filler cap, a high-vis vest in the driver’s door, a rubbish bin for the side door, 0.5-litre bottle and a 1.0-litre bottle glove compartment in the rear doors.

    Other ‘Simply Clever’ features are well known, including the standard parking ticket holder on the inside of the left-hand A-pillar and the two optional bag hooks in the boot. There are also two storage nets available for the boot to keep the area tidy. Another interesting ‘clever’ feature is the corner light function of the fog lamps.

  • 2015 Skoda Fabia

    Skoda has officially presented the new 2015 Fabia which will make its public debut at the 2014 Paris Motor Show in October. The new model is based on the popular Volkswagen PQ26 platform, which was introduced earlier this year in the 2014 Polo.

    2015 Skoda Fabia is significantly lighter than its predecessor (-65 kg), so the overall weight is just 980 kg (2,160 lbs).

    The engine range includes Euro 6-compliant three- and four-cylinder engines. The petrol range features a 3-cylinder direct-injection 1.0 liter MPI – 60HP (44 kW) and a 1.2 liter TSI – 110HP (81 kW). The diesel side includes a new 3-cylinder 1.4 liter common-rail power unit with different outputs – from 75HP (55 kW) to 105HP (77 kW).

    Sometime in 2015, the range will be joined by a 1.4 TDI with 75HP (55 kW) featuring Start-Stop and kinetic energy recuperation technology.

    For now, Skoda doesn’t plan a powerful vRS Fabia, but it will eventually happen. The vRS Fabia will have around 200HP (147 kW) and will compete versus Ford Fiesta ST and Renault Clio RS.
