| 2014 Skoda Fabia |
Skoda Company is on the threshold of major upgrades to its model range. This year started production of the new model Rapid, which will be placed on the market between the models Fabia and Octavia. In the following 2013 and the Czechs will show another best seller generation Octavia, developed a new platform, and in 2014 comes the third generation of the Skoda Fabia.
Tazi car will be developed on a new platform modular global MQB (Modular Transverse Matrix) of the Group parent Volkswagen, which will give the industry more interior space and luggage capacity increased. The current Fabia offers 315 liters of luggage, and the new will be room for 350 liters luggage, the second-largest after that of the Honda Jazz. Following the logic of "growing up" of each new generation and the new Fabia will have increased wheelbase and is lighter due to the use of high-strength steel.
The design of the car is the new style, the model has demonstrated Rapid and first shown the kind of concept Skoda VisionD. In fact, this new style of Skoda will surprise us with something really new because not only Skoda, but "Mom" Volkswagen adheres to a conservative design style and do not allow too much wiggle to the benefit of design ideas. The interior in this car will be much better quality and more spacious.
Under the hood you will see a new generation of engines - advanced 1.2-liter, three-cylinder engines - diesel TDI and TSI petrol engine offering a power bandwidth from 70 to 120 hp In fact, capacity will be much different than the current engines, but the new engines will be more efficient in their work. Likely sporty RS version of the new car will have a current capacity of 180 "horses" because of the rather limited demand, but the designation does not disappear. It will be used for slightly less forced version of the car with 140 hp.
