The 1.2-litre Fabia, the new entry-level vehicle for the model, is priced at £6,995 on the road. The engine is fitted with counter-rotating balancing shafts and low chain-driven single overhead cam for enhanced drivetrain refinement and reliability.
Fuel consumption - 47.1 mpg on the combined cycle - and C02 emissions - 144 g/km - are low.
The 1.2-litre powered Fabia comes in Classic trim with high levels of standard equipment which includes anti-lock brakes, driver and passenger front passenger airbags and seatbelt pre-tensioners, immobilised power steering, an RDS radio with four speakers, rake and reach adjustable steering wheel and a pollen air filter.
The Octavia vRS Estate adds even more to the Skoda range, priced at £15,800 on the road. It reaches 62 mph in 8.0 seconds and has a top speed of 143 mph.
It sits on 16-inch multispoke alloy wheels, with its ride height lowered by 19mm.
