Our take on this /// Verdict

The Skoda Fabia 1.6 Elegance is a compelling package for those seeking a balance of performance, comfort, and practicality. After driving it for nearly 5,000 kilometers, I found the car to be a sprightly hot hatch that doesnt compromise on fuel economy. The 1.6-litre petrol engine provides a better power-to-weight ratio compared to its smaller engined sibling, resulting in lesser fuel usage and better fuel economy. The interior quality is exceptional, with features like cushioning under the ORVM hinges and heavier grab handles that add to the premium feel. However, there are some shortcomings, such as the lack of certain features like electrically-adjustable mirrors and a rear defogger in the Elegance trim. Despite these, the Fabia 1.6 Elegance remains a great choice for those who value performance and comfort without breaking the bank.

Price

The Skoda Fabia 1.6 Elegance, when it was available in the Indian market, was priced competitively. The ex-showroom price for this model was around Rs 6.5 to Rs 7.5 lakhs, depending on the location and any additional features or accessories. On-road prices would typically range from Rs 7.5 to Rs 9 lakhs, including taxes, registration, and insurance. While the Fabia is no longer in production, understanding its historical pricing helps in evaluating its value in the used car market. For those considering a pre-owned Fabia 1.6 Elegance, prices can vary widely based on the cars condition, mileage, and age, but generally, you can expect to pay between Rs 3 to Rs 5 lakhs.
