It was the successor to the Å koda Felicia, which was discontinued in 2001. The Fabia was available in hatchback, estate (named Fabia Combi) and saloon (named Fabia Sedan) body styles while from 2007 merging in the second generation  starting with hatchback and awaiting the new estate version. No saloon variant of the current Fabia is planned though[citation needed]. It is based on the platform of Volkswagen Polo Mk IV.

The estate version Fabia Combi was introduced in September 2000 at the Paris Motor Show. It was the first model to use the Volkswagen Group's A04 platform, which it shares with the Volkswagen Polo Mk IV and SEAT Ibiza. This car won 2000 What Car? "Car of the Year" in the UK. The range starts with the 1.0 8v Classic (which is cheaper than Volkswagen's smaller 3-door 1.0 Lupo) to the 1.9 PD TDi vRS. Part of the Fabia's success is the fact that all of its mechanical parts are developed by or in conjunction with Volkswagen, but are offered in a package that is priced to undercut other models in the Volkswagen Group. The only trace of non-VW Å koda left in the Fabia is the 1.0 and 1.4 8v "MPI" engines, which was a modification to Å koda's own 1.3 engine, and was used in pre-Volkswagen Å kodas such as the Estelle and Favorit. In 2005 the Fabia received a facelift, with changed front fog lights and grille, slightly different rear lights, new steering wheel and revised specification levels. The vRS also had its final gearbox ratio changed. Most importantly the Sport model was added, with the 75 PS (55 kW) 1.4 petrol being offered with a manual transmission. This engine was quickly dropped for the 1.2 HTP, which was not as powerful but is a much more free revving engine giving a more sporty feel, the sport also had its specification changed to include red seat belts and sunset privacy glass from the B pillar to the rear. Again in 2006 the Fabia range shown at the Geneva Motor Show had minor specification revisions. These include a center rear head rest, a central three-point seatbelt and an additional four bodywork colours. The 1.4 16v 75 PS (55 kW) petrol engine was replaced with a more powerful 1.4 16v 80 PS (59 kW) engine. [edit] 6Y engines The term MPI (Multi-Point Injection) is used by Å koda to differentiate from 16v models and (in the case of the Octavia Mk2) FSI engines. The 75 PS (55 kW) version of the 1.4 16v was only mated to Volkswagen's four-speed automatic transmission with fuzzy logic operation until the addition of earlier Sport models which mated it with a manual transmission. The 1.4 8v was dropped in 2003 as it will fail to meet future emissions requirements. Its performance is heavily hampered by its old OHV (Pushrod) design. The Fabia's overall performance and fuel consumption figures fall behind other city cars and small family cars as it is larger and heavier. However, the 1.2 HTP (High Torque Performance) Engine was developed specifically for the Fabia and offers better performance and fuel economy, but later used in Volkswagen's own Polo due to its high acclaim.

Later in the Fabia's life the mid-range Comfort Model was dropped for the name Ambiente to fit in with the rest of the range. Other models available throughout the car's lifespan included Ambiente SE, Blackline, Silverline, Sport, Bohemia (Estate only, run-out model) and vRS. Various safety features and minor changes were made over time. Easy and Junior models are sold in Eastern European markets where budgets are lower. Some of these Fabias do not even have painted bumpers or gloveboxes. Also sold in such markets is the Fabia Praktik, which is a panel van version of the Fabia with the rear windows and seats removed. A lesser powered version of the 1.4 MPI with just 60 PS (44 kW) is also sold in Eastern Europe. [edit] Fabia vRS Introduced in 2003, the Fabia vRS, while not the first diesel hot hatch, was the first exclusively diesel hot hatch, having no petrol equivalent. The engine is Volkswagen Group's 1.9 litre Pumpe-Düse Turbocharged Direct Injection diesel engine, producing 130 metric horsepower (96 kW) and 310 N·m (230 lb·ft) at 1900 rpm, with a six speed manual gearbox. It was named the "Diesel Car of the Year 2003" in the Scottish Car of the Year Awards. It also falls in a low tax band (Band C) in the UK, further increasing its cost benefits over its (chiefly petrol-powered) counterparts. Official figures state 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes 9.6 seconds, but several motoring magazines and websites have measured faster times (around the 7.0-7.5 seconds range) (Autocar: 7.1 seconds,[3] Auto Express: 8.1 seconds,[4] and FastHatchbacks.com: 8.5 seconds[5]). The in gear acceleration times are 50-70 mph in 5.6 seconds, quicker than BMW's 330i which takes 6.0 seconds. 20-40 mph in 2.4 seconds is as quick as the Lotus Elise 111R. Despite this the Fabia vRS can achieve better than 6.2 L/100 km (46 mpg-imp; 38 mpg-US). If driven carefully some drivers have experienced MPG rates of 65-70 mpg over long periods. The Fabia VRS has a top speed of approximately 130 mph (210 km/h). The vRS was shown to be quicker than a similarly priced MINI Cooper around Top Gear's and Fifth Gear's test tracks. In 2007 1,000 Special Edition Fabia vRS models were produced[6] featuring individually numbered black leather seats, sporty red brake callipers, Race Blue metallic paint and a 6 CD autochanger. This model was known as the Fabia vRS SE. The last Mk1 Fabia vRS came off the production plant in March 2007 - being UK 2007/07 registered. According to Skoda UK, there were only 22 of these 2007 registered marks (not including the 1000 Special Edition vRS SE).

It still uses the PQ24 platform.[8][9][10] The car is however slightly larger than its predecessor and takes styling cues from the new Roomster leisure activity vehicle.[11] For the launch of the new Fabia, Å koda UK commissioned an advertising campaign called Cake, featuring the making of a Å koda Fabia car out of cake which swapped rivets for raisins, metal for marzipan and spark plugs for sugar.[12] Shanghai Volkswagen Automotive introduces the new Fabia to the public at the 2008 Guangzhou Motor Show. And it sells as 2009 model year in China. The estate variant[13][14] was officially announced[15] in August 2007 and was introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007.[16] Compared with the first generation the new Combi is 7 mm (0.3 in) longer, 46 mm (1.8 in) higher and the boot has grown by 54 litres (to 480 litres total). The engine portfolio is the same as the hatchback version, without the 1.2 44 kW one. [edit] Skoda India Skoda India launched the latest version of Fabia in 2007. The car however couldn't live up to the hype created by the previous generation Octavia. Fabia has not succeeded in this market due to dealer problems, steep prices and Skoda trying to position itself as a luxury marque. Skoda has decided to bring in more powerful engines at better prices and taken strict measures to curb dealer quality levels primarily the service costs. [edit] 5J engines The initial petrol engine lineup was a mixture of newer engines from the Volkswagen Group and some carry overs from the outgoing model. The base 1.2 remains the same (44 kW) while the higher powered version has its power output upped to 70 PS (51 kW). There was only a single 1.4 litre 16v petrol on this model, producing 85 PS (63 kW). The range topping petrol engine was the 1.6 16v engine producing 105 PS (77 kW) . There was also an option to link this engine to a 6 speed tiptronic transmission sourced from Aisin. Diesel engines consisted of the same 70 PS (51 kW) and 80 PS (59 kW) 1.4 TDI units from before. The range topping diesel was a 1.9 TDI producing 105 PS (77 kW). As of 2010 the engine lineup was updated along with a facelift; this was introduced at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Turbocharged petrol engines are now available for lower fuel consumption. The diesel engines now feature the common rail system and 4-valve technology. The top-of-the-line VRS model features the same engine as in the Volkswagen Polo Mk5 GTI, producing 180 PS (132 kW). A 7-speed DSG transmission is standard in the RS model and optional for the 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp) 1.2 TSI. And it has its own version of the Cake advert, with a rock/metal cover of 'My Favorite Things'. Model Years Engine and code Displ.

In the UK the trim levels are 1, 2, Sport, 3, and Greenline. In India, the trim levels are Active, Classic, Ambiente and Elegance. All models sold within the EU are equipped with front passenger, driver and side airbags. Curtain airbags are available as an option. All models are fitted with a central locking system that automatically locks itself if the keys are not in the ignition and the bonnet gets closed. This is a built-in safety measure to stop people hot-wiring the car then driving off. Also to stop people breaking in if the car was locked by the keys only the keys can open it again meaning no one can break the window and open it from the inside if it was locked by the owner.

That's because the Czech brand has scored two big successes in Auto Express's Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with the Octavia taking first place and the firm claiming second in the overall manufacturer rankings. The Fabia takes its front end styling from the recently launched Roomster supermini-MPV, and it features the same upright, wraparound windscreen and chunky linesSo can the new Fabia continue the party? Top brass are certainly hoping so. Bigger, more stylish and offering a wider range of engines than before, the car is better placed than ever to challenge supermini giants such as Ford's Fiesta and the Vauxhall Corsa. Buyers only have to wait until next month for the newcomer to hit showrooms, but to see what they've got to look forward to, we took a drive in what's expected to be one of the best-selling models - the 1.4-litre diesel. And before you even get behind the wheel, there's a great deal to be impressed about. That's because Skoda has created a bold new look for its latest model. The Fabia takes its front end styling from the recently launched Roomster supermini-MPV, and it features the same upright, wraparound windscreen and chunky lines. At the rear, the thick pillars and angular tail look great. You can make your Fabia more distinctive by opting for a wide range of bright body colours, and even a MINI-style contrasting finish for the roof. Inside, the Fabia builds on the quality of the previous model by offering better fit and finish, but it adds some much-needed flair, too. Chrome highlights on the dash, door handles and gearlever brighten things up, and you can also specify optional two-tone trim. Up front, there's plenty of space, and although the seats could do with more side support, the driving position is good, thanks to a reach and rake-adjustable wheel. In the back, the 300-litre boot is generous, and headroom for rear seat passengers is ample. Leg space is a bit tight, especially for six-foot-plus passengers - although the Fabia's rivals are no better in this area. Under the bonnet, there are four petrol engines and three diesels to choose from, with power outputs ranging from 60bhp up to 105bhp. A six-speed Tiptronic auto is available as an option, but most variants come with a five-speed manual gearbox. Twist the key of this 80bhp 1.4-litre TDI model and you're left in no doubt that it's a diesel. But on the move, the rumble of the three-cylinder quietens down - particularly on the motorway. And with lots of low-rev punch, it's a gutsy performer. The unit is frugal as well, returning combined fuel economy of 61.4mpg, while CO2 emissions are a low 120g/km. As for the rest of the driving experience, 'comfortable' is the first word that springs to mind. Our car had a soft suspension set-up, which offered a cushioned ride that ironed out bumps on rough surfaces with ease. However, the pay-off is that there's a lot of body roll in corners, and the numb steering doesn't encourage you to push on. But for most buyers comfort, rather than driver enjoyment, will come as the priority. Standard equipment is generous, and the Fabia is available in three trims, named simply 1, 2 and 3. Prices range from £7,990 to £12,995, and this top-spec 3 model features climate control, sat-nav, plus driver, passenger and side airbags. Add in the great looks, impressive practicality and solid build quality, and the Fabia adds up to an excellent supermini that deserves to succeed.

The new model does the same, but with a stylish look, more interior space and better build quality. The engine line-up has something for every pocket - if the driving experience was sharper, we would be giving the Fabia full marks. AT A GLANCE New model uses a VW-sourced diesel, which offers gutsy performance. Fabia has a chunky look like its predecessor, but Skoda has added a big slice of style to the supermini shape.
