Review: Skoda Fabia 130
The hot hatch uses a reworked 1.5 TSI EVO2 engine, 174bhp, and a reprogrammed seven-speed DSG for quicker acceleration.
- The Skoda Fabia 130, the fastest production model to date, launched last October. It features a reworked 1.5 TSI EVO2 engine achieving 0-62 mph in 7.4 seconds, building on the current Monte Carlo specification.
- Tracing its lineage, the original sporty model debuted with a 1.9-litre TDI diesel engine and was discontinued in 2007. A subsequent petrol version ceased production four years later due to poor sales.
- Priced at £29,995, the vehicle features a 10-inch virtual cockpit and a 9.2-inch infotainment display. The boot offers 380 litres of capacity, with sports seats providing enhanced comfort.
- Earlier this month, Skoda announced a limited-run Fabia Motorsport Edition to mark 125 years of motorsport tradition. Only 125 cars will be produced, exclusively available in Moon White metallic paint with a black sports interior.
- Sharing underpinnings with Volkswagen Group's Polo and Seat Ibiza, the Fabia excels in urban environments. Skoda said it has always excelled in the "little touches" that make ownership enjoyable.
