With the series Škoda Fabia, Škoda Auto has established a solid foundation for its portfolio of five cars. The roots of urban families are evident everywhere. The bold lines and elegant exterior design to its smallest components, the Fabia is attentive to the details of Skoda through simple, smart and innovative. And now, in the spring of 2010, the Skoda Fabia has been completely revised with a new face and a greater emphasis on energy efficiency and comfort. The extent of his technical innovations, goes far beyond a facelift.
The new Škoda Fabia Combi and Škoda Roomster will also get the bold new look both inside and outside as well as many technical changes under the skin. But while they look may have changed the character of this multi-talented couple has not. With a capacity of 505 liters of luggage with the rear seats up and 1,485 liters with them flat, Škoda Fabia Combi continues to provide the kind of trunk that goes beyond what is normally offered in this class. Meanwhile, Skoda Roomster, with its highly versatile in the back seat VarioFlex still meets the requirements of families and working people alike. His boot volume can be extended a minimum of 480 liters to 1810 liters, which makes a champion Škoda Roomster load.

The new Škoda Fabia RS also premieres at the Paris Motor Show 2010 Geneva for the first time, more athletic of the Skoda Fabia is available as an estate. Its combination of high-performance 132 kW (180 hp) and low fuel consumption of only 6.4 km itres/100 marks it as a leader in its class.
These variants of the series Škoda Fabia, Škoda Auto offers a wide range of models in the segment of small cars to meet virtually any customer requirement.
The front features a completely redesigned strong horizontal forms that visually lower the Škoda Fabia, despite its size is unchanged. The Fabia is now much more dynamic, but does so without compromising comfort. "With this reorganization any component escaped our attention," describes the development executive Eckhard Scholz, the major overhaul. The reason behind the new design lies in the range of new, state of the art and often turbocharged engines that began in the Škoda Fabia, including a two-device loaded. Major changes in the engine program is it necessary to rebuild the front Skoda Fabia and therefore the possibility of Lev his face was taken. The bumpers and support, forms headlights, hood and front floor space - nothing is shared by the old Škoda Fabia.
The new grille and headlights in three dimensions to define the look of the new Skoda Fabia, its horizontal lines to emphasize the width of the front panel. "The proportions seem much more relaxed," says Head of Audi design, Jozef Kaban. Her new face is more secure and dynamic, but also more elegant and mature, now uses an emotional level.
Despite the re-design of the virtues Škoda now has not been forgotten. The visor-like window surface which rotates in the cabin has always been a central part of the Skoda Fabia, and will remain so. Alternative complementary to paint the roof has been maintained.
Thank you to the new headlights back on the wings, like the side profile is extended, while Škoda Fabia Škoda brand lamps have elegant C-shaped graphics. All of these features that the new Fabia continues to illustrate the brand.
New alloy wheels and aluminum design with a new color options for the Rally Green, Aqua Blue and Pacific Blue, head of the reform of the smallest Skoda. The sedan version of the Škoda Fabia is now also available with roof rails for the first time. Lightweight design and attention to detail to keep the weight at just two pounds.

Inside, the cabin is enhanced by new materials and visual enhancements. Chrome inserts for ventilation, gearshift and handbrake button frame to carry the high quality of Skoda Fabia. The new three and four branches are covered in leather and with an optional audio control multi-function and telephony systems. Seat covers breathing and attractive upgrade Climatronic air conditioning controls are the new Skoda Fabia car the feel of a much higher class.
Driver information display has also been redesigned, the central screen now features a shift indicator, which makes a significant contribution to greater fuel economy. On versions with selected speed DSG gearbox, while the constant display of outdoor temperature on the center screen is an important safety feature. The function of the speed control and speed limit warnings show the speed limit in countries with higher speed limits on roads and in vehicles with speed restrictions due to winter tires.
The old monochrome arrow graphics inspired by the navigation system Škoda Fabia is now replaced by advanced system Amundsen larger Skoda. It is equipped with a five-inch touch screen, SD card reader and a connection point for external memory devices. Another Mobile Device Interface (MDI) for use with iPod, Aux-In, USB and mini USB are also available and is in the glove compartment below. This replaces the old CD changer.
GSM phone preparation is also new. The system is capable of maintaining two different Bluetooth connections simultaneously via streaming audio. This means you can call using the speakerphone while listening to the music of an additional external source. The two connections can be operated via buttons on the Multi-function leather steering wheel. The voice command is activated by a button on the multifunction steering wheel, leather-wrapped steering wheel or in the case of Comfort II GSM phone.
Range of the new Škoda Fabia improved engine is at the center of all innovations. A total of seven petrol and three diesel engines are available. Power outputs of 44 kW (60 hp) to 132 kW (180 hp) gasoline engines, while diesel units delivering between 55 kW (75 HP) 77 kW (105 hp). All engines meet Euro 5 emissions standards exhaust offer fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions therefore extremely low. All cars with manual transmission includes a gear selection indicator to promote efficient driving. An arrow on the dashboard screen insert suggests when to change gears to keep the engine in its most efficient speed range.
As in the rest of the Škoda family, the engine range is determined by the art of downsizing. Displacements are supplemented with significantly reduced turbo-charging and double billing and high-precision direct injection of fuel to achieve the optimum combination of performance and fuel consumption. Turbo-charge significantly increases the levels of torque, especially in gasoline engines, while the pulling power of the diet is much lower than conventional engines, naturally aspirated. The power unit of the Škoda Fabia range is the petrol engine four cylinder in the Skoda Fabia RS. Although capable of only 1.4 liters, double revenues through a turbocharger with wastegate and a movable mechanical compressor ensures that the power is 132 kW (180 hp) while peak torque is 250 Nm from the same impressive 2000 rpm to 4500 rpm. Although muscular performance, combined consumption of just 6.4 l/100km is and CO2 emissions are 148 g / km.
But the performance was not the only development objective. Environmentally, the sound operation, and thus engines set new standards in the Škoda Fabia. When connected to the evolution DSG seven-speed direct optimized - the new 1.2 TSI engine of 77 kW (105 hp) offers exceptionally low running costs. The fuel consumption of just 5.3 liters of fuel per 100 km (53.3 mpg) and CO2 emissions of just 124 g / km is unusual for its performance. The 1.2 TSI, offered in two performance levels - 63 kW (86 hp) 77 kW (105 hp). The two are combined with a five-speed manual transmission as standard smooth.

Engine improvements and the reduction of friction and the adoption of lightweight construction also increase efficiency. For the 1.2-liter three-cylinder, a new weight reduced crank shaft has been developed, which is 1.7 kg lighter than its predecessor. Resources are also stored in the production: casting is a collection kg lighter than before, and there are less production waste.
Diesel engines offer a wide range of performances from 55 kW (75 HP) 77 kW (105 hp), with capacities of 1.2 and 1.6 liters. All are equipped with a diesel particulate filter and high-pressure injection through a common rail system. With an injection pressure of 1,600 bars is reached, and fast response piezo injectors allow up to five injections per cycle, the refinement of the engine has been improved considerably and there is a drastic reduction in fuel consumption and emissions of gases exhaust. Additional cleaning of exhaust gases is achieved by an oxidation catalyst and recirculation of exhaust gas in all versions of the series of diesel Škoda Fabia.
An area of development has been a reduction in noise levels in the two petrol engines 1.2 HTP three cylinders. Instead of the supply chain arm of normal guy, a toothed chain was chosen, the three parts of the chain elements drive more smoothly and quietly on the gears. This creates significantly reduces the noise current, especially during the operation exceeded three-cylinder engines, especially at high revs, which were previously considered to be unpleasant. The noise level thanks to the range most frequently used rev, between 1600 and 3400 rpm is also clearly reduced.

A number of security systems to ensure the safety of all passengers in the Skoda Fabia and other users. Four airbags protect occupants in all Škoda Fabia, while the other two options. ABS with Brake Assist is also standard equipment and, in many markets, the PSE, which now includes tire pressure warning hill or assistant, is also mounted.
The new lighting system is designed to provide glare is a great unit and a reflector or projector are installed. Light energy efficient set in the system is integrated into the new dual chamber fog lights, roughly halve the energy consumption. This technology also allows better illumination of the road in the fog.
In emergency braking situations - 7 m/s2 over 60 km / h - brake lights or hazard lights flashing at a frequency of 3 Hz to warn following traffic. If, after an emergency braking, the speed is less than 10 km / h and the deceleration is less than 2.5 m/s2, the hazard lights come on with their normal cycle (1.25 Hz) to warn the following drivers.
To increase security, Skoda Fabia windows can be controlled via the remote control button. This can close the windows when you leave the car or open a window at a distance to cool the interior when parked in full sun.
In any case, the anti-theft system in the new Fabia will be even stronger. A new generation immobilizer protects the new Škoda Fabia most effective against theft.
Mechanically, a larger brake servo is the new Skoda Fabia more responsive when braking thanks to the large cylinder. This allows a quicker and, above all, the considerable delay.
Along with the finely tuned racing machine, four-wheel independent suspension - McPherson and triangulation and a torsion beam in the rear - as well as excellent crash safety body, the Skoda Fabia offers more extensive protection and comfort than ever before.
