Skoda Fabia In India
Earlier, When Skoda launched the Fabia in India, the car never really performed in an expected manner. The major reason behind the failure of Fabia was its high price tag in the years when India was highly price conscious Market. Skoda even cut 40% of it’s initial price tag, but no real elevation in sales was seen so far.
Though, the Next-Gen Fabia will be based on same MQB AO platform used in Kushaq, the New-Gen Fabia is unlikely to hit Indian shores anytime soon as Skoda India is currently focusing on the development of SUV’s and Sedans in India.
Engine and Transmission
The new-gen Fabia will be powered by two engines. A 1.0-litre MPI naturally aspirated petrol engine or a 1.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine. The former is likely to be mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox whereas the latter will be paired with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic.
