About

The Skoda Fabia is a well-rounded compact hatchback that excels in practicality and comfort. It offers a range of petrol engines, including the 1.0 TSI in various states of tune and the more powerful 1.5 TSI. The 1.0 TSI engines provide a good balance between performance and economy, while the 1.5 TSI offers more oomph for those who need it. The Fabia boasts a comfortable ride, minimal tyre and wind noise, and a well-laid-out interior with features like adjustable seats, a digital drivers display, and various Simply Clever touches. It also comes with advanced safety features and a smooth, stable driving experience, making it an excellent choice for both city driving and long road trips. However, it is important to note that the Fabias length, exceeding 4 meters, might make it less suitable for tight city spaces in India.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Fabia, although not available in a diesel variant in the current market, is a compelling option for those looking for a practical and comfortable hatchback. If we were to consider the petrol variants available in India, the Fabia stands out for its comfortable ride, hushed cruising, and a wide range of petrol engine options. However, it lacks the excitement of some of its rivals like the Seat Ibiza and Renault Clio. The Fabias strengths lie in its stable and sensible driving experience, making it an excellent choice for daily commuting and long road trips. The interior is well-appointed with a comfortable driving position, simple control layout, and great all-round visibility. While it may not be the most thrilling drive, the Fabias reliability, good fuel economy, and competitive pricing make it a solid choice for those seeking a practical and dependable vehicle.

Price

The Skoda Fabia is not currently offered in a diesel variant in India, but if we consider the petrol variants, the pricing is competitive. The ex-showroom price for the Skoda Fabia in India can range from approximately 8.5 lakh to 13.5 lakh, depending on the trim level and engine option chosen. On-road prices, including taxes and other costs, can range from around 10 lakh to 16 lakh. This pricing makes the Fabia an attractive option in the compact hatchback segment, offering good value for money with its array of features, comfortable ride, and efficient engines.

Latest Updates

Tuesday, 23 April 2024 03:48 AM The 2024 Skoda Fabia models have been upgraded with new powertrains, but these are all petrol engines. The previous 1.0 TSI unit has been replaced by a newer engine delivering 116PS, an increase of 6PS. This engine is available with a six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed DSG transmission.

Tuesday, 23 April 2024 09:56 AM Despite the lack of a diesel option, the Skoda Fabia continues to be a practical choice with its spacious interior and advanced features like Travel Assist 2.0 and Automatic Parking. I think the absence of a diesel variant might be a missed opportunity in the Indian market where diesel engines are still popular.

Tuesday, 09 January 2024 02:33 PM The Skoda Fabias design has been refined, featuring Skoda’s recognisable grille and smart alloy wheels, though it remains simple and not overly exciting. The interior has been smartened up but still includes some scratchy plastics. I believe this balance between practicality and aesthetics is a key selling point.

Wednesday, 13 September 2023 07:12 AM The latest generation of the Skoda Fabia is built on the MQB A0 platform, offering increased boot space of 380 litres and advanced safety features like Front Assist with predictive pedestrian and cyclist protection. However, there is no mention of a diesel engine in this generation.

Wednesday, 13 September 2023 05:29 AM Skoda has a strong history in motorsport with the Fabia, but this success is primarily with petrol-powered rally cars. The current fourth-generation Fabia serves as the basis for the Škoda Fabia RS Rally2, but there is no diesel equivalent for road use. I think this motorsport legacy could be leveraged to introduce a high-performance diesel variant.

Wednesday, 05 July 2023 02:05 PM The Skoda Fabia is known for its comfort and practicality, focusing more on these aspects rather than performance. The ride is comfortable, and handling is accurate and safe, though it lacks the fun factor of some rivals. I believe this focus on comfort makes it a solid choice for daily driving.

Wednesday, 05 July 2023 02:41 AM The Skoda Fabia offers a range of petrol engines, including a 1.0-litre naturally-aspirated and turbocharged options, as well as a 1.5-litre engine. However, there is no diesel engine available in the current lineup. This might be a drawback in markets where diesel is preferred.

Wednesday, 15 March 2023 04:19 PM Skoda has not announced any plans to introduce a diesel engine for the Fabia in the near future. The current focus is on improving the efficiency and performance of the petrol engines. I think this strategy aligns with global trends towards more environmentally friendly options.

Monday, 09 January 2023 06:06 AM The Skoda Fabias interior has been enhanced with features like a panoramic glass roof and easy-to-locate ISOFIX points, making it a family-friendly car. However, the absence of a diesel option might affect its appeal in certain markets.

Tuesday, 13 September 2022 12:36 PM The fourth-generation Skoda Fabia has seen significant improvements in technology, including state-of-the-art features like Travel Assist 2.0 and Lane Assist. Despite these advancements, a diesel engine remains absent from the lineup. I believe incorporating a diesel option could broaden its market appeal.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 01:22 PM The mileage of the Skoda Fabia in India is quite respectable, especially with the more efficient petrol engines. The 1.0 TSI engines can deliver around 18-20 kml in city driving and up to 22-24 kml on the highway, depending on driving conditions. The 1.5 TSI engine, while more powerful, still manages to offer around 15-18 kml in mixed driving conditions. These figures make the Fabia a viable option for those concerned about running costs and fuel efficiency.
