 Skoda will unveil the new look of Fabia and Roomster at Geneva Motor Show in March. Packed with new technology, this 2 compact cars have been given an interior and exterior redesign, accentuating the car's dynamic look, increasing their road presence. Skoda Fabia and Roomster will receive new engine, 4 petrol and 2 diesel, with power ranging from 60 horse power to 105 horse power for the Fabia and 70 horse power and 105 horse power for the Roomster.
Skoda will offer four petrol engines and two diesel units in the UK, with power ranging from 60bhp to 105bhp in the Fabia and from 70bhp to 105bhp in the Roomster. All engines comply with the EU5 standard and deliver exceptionally low fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels.
But Skoda's development efforts weren’t only aimed at improving efficiency – improved performance was also a key goal. Nowhere is this more apparent than when the new 1.2 TSI 105bhp petrol engine is combined with the optimised, two-clutch seven-speed DSG transmission. This delivers impressive power with excellent combined fuel consumption of just 53.3 mpg. The four-cylinder 1.2 TSI engine is available in two power levels – 85 bhp and 105bhp. Both of these will also be available with a five-speed manual transmission.
Both diesel units are fitted with high-pressure Common Rail injection, with a pressure of up to 1,600 bar combined with fast-responding piezoelectric injectors that are able to perform as many as five injections within one beat, resulting in improved engine refinement. Both diesel engines feature particulate filters as standard and CO2 emissions are under 110g/km.
