The new Škoda Fabia is characterized by all of the core values, which have made more than 1.5 million customers buy the first generation – and this has been further developed even further by Škoda.

Design

The total length of the new Fabia has, thanks to the new design of the front bumper, increased. With its external measurements (3992 mm x 1642 mm x 1498 mm) the new Škoda Fabia hatchback is among the largest in its class.

The effectively usable space offers the occupants more space both in the front seats and in the rear.

In its class, the Fabia is the vehicle with the largest knee and headroom in the rear.

The boot has a basic capacity of 300 litres, and, when the rear seats are folded down, increases to 1163 litres.

There is also a wide range offered in bodywork external colours with its fresh design and coupled with a combination of quality materials and colours in the interior.

Features

The Fabia exhibits further improvements in the sector of safety, with the front and the rear seats are protected by head airbags; in the rear, a child’s seat can be affixed with a top-tether belt which limits the forward movement of the upper part of the child’s seat in the event of a head-on collision.

Customers will have the possibility of ordering the six-gear automatic Tiptronic transmission for the smallest of its models.

In the field of communication technologies, the new Fabia provides a preparation for the GSM telephone with Bluetooth, and an audio system capable of connecting external units such as MP3 players or iPod.

A total of seven engines will be available fort he new Fabia – four petrol and three diesel units. Both of the popular three-cylinder petrol engines now have increased performance and provide the car with more elasticity.

The world premiere of the new generation of the Škoda Fabia will take place at the Geneva Auto Show in March 2007. This will be followed by its launch in the European markets. Production of the bodywork versions, the Fabia Estate and the Fabia Sedan of the first generation will be continued.
