Skoda has made a name for itself as a premium carmaker in the Indian market, and it has delayed the launch of the Fabia simply because it wanted to give the Indian customer the new model.
The Fabia was launched first in diesel guise, and now it is the turn of the petrol version. It’s easy to like Skoda’s new baby, especially in this 1.4-litre petrol version.
Yes, at Rs 7.14 lakh, this petrol Elegance version is still expensive for a hatch, but if you really want a Fabia, then this is a whopping Rs 92,000 cheaper than the diesel Elegance. You’ll get the sunroof, the parking sensors and the projector lamps for this price. Sadly, Skoda is currently offering the petrol version only in this top-of-the-line Elegance trim. Plans are on to bring out the 1.4-petrol in cheaper trim and even with a 1.2-litre petrol engine later this year. Until then, this is the only petrol you can drive out of your local Skoda dealer.
