I THINK THAT FABIA IS VERY NICE AND A VERY GOODLOOKING HATCH.THE ONLY THING I DONT LIKE ABOUT IT IS I THINK ITS LACK OF POWER IN SEGMENT.I WANNA KNOW THAT THE POWER OF ITS 1.4 L PETROL ENGINE IS THERE ANYONE WHO CAN TELL THAT TO ME?

By akshit on Feb 18, 2007

hi when skoda fabia is launching and mainly i want to know that skoda fabia sedan model launching in india or not if launching then when.about only skoda fabia sedan model not about fabia hatchback

By raju on Feb 18, 2007

Keepin my fingers crossed for this Hatchback Beast…..

By Chuchan on Feb 18, 2007

well, the sedan would stay the older version, at least for a while, which means it may not come to india at all. The 1.4L Petrol would be around 88Ps max.

By Nipun on Feb 19, 2007

This car seems to be an gr8 and good looking. Hope it going to be lead in the market. Would like to know when it going to wheel out in the indian roads.

By Sathish on Feb 19, 2007

yeah.., its a fantastic hatch back model having luxuary,advanced technology,safety .i like this car the most.driving an skoda car is good feeling for every one

By N.Karthikeyan on Feb 23, 2007

It would be interesting to see how they price this car in hatchback segment, �??cause if it touches 7lks then ppl might go for a bigger car like city, verna, fiesta than to a hatchback.

By Biprajit on Feb 23, 2007

skoda cars are most beautiful cars in the world.It has power.I thinks fabia is most powerful hatcback.

By sajal on Feb 26, 2007

does they r launching only hatchback…..wat abt sedan r they launching it or not plzz reply

By raju on Mar 2, 2007

i have been using the skoda fabia in the UK for a few years now. its an excellent car ( i have the diesel btw) and the car keeps going…and going…and going…
skoda india needs to make its dealers more responsive and trained better…asset auto in Poona is SLOPPY!
the car is good, the brand has immense value and pricing needs to be more competitive for skoda to compete with ford / hyundai better !

By shripad on Mar 3, 2007

wel, skoda has done a mistake that they are launching this car after Maruti Swift, this look same as Swift and doen’t leave more marks than Swift
everybody knows how reliable Maruti is in India than anyother brand
secondly the price factor, in India people see the benefits and pocket rather than going for the brand
SKODA SHOULD THING AGAIN ON PRICE BEFORE LAUNCHING

By pankaj saini on Mar 7, 2007

As far as Skoda is concerned,m not satisfied with d looks of fabia…
Skoda Laura is the best look, comfort, passion & price too…
SKODA was not supposed to launch a small car, as the company was well known for the luxury..
if anybdy having any doubt about my statement then do have a test ride of LAURA !!!

By Bhup$ on Mar 7, 2007

The feedback about this vehicle is very good and will be giving another option in the range of Rs 5-7 lacs Diesel vehilce. Will be market leader in times to come

By ASHISH VIJAYVERGIA on Mar 12, 2007

i had planned to buy a maruti swift but then when i heard about this car i changed my mind n i am waiting for skoda to launch this car as soon as possible. hope that it is priced right.

By raghav on Mar 12, 2007

To skoda owners,
please produce any big car of skodain diesel in india that has big power that having more mileageand more pick up also[not very costly]medium price limits 8-10 lakhs. produce small cars also. interior of skoda cars are very good. so,i hope that skoda company produce good cars in imdia.I hope you accept our suggestion.

By sajal on Mar 14, 2007

Look wise matching with Swift.Lack of power.Ample space for leg may be there but what about price? Its better one should go for VERNA, FIESTA or Esteem just putting little effort on pocket. Hyundai is launching SANTRO-TWIN/P-A(Model between santro and GETZ and price from 4lacs) later this year. Seeing price and look I don’t think they can make there market. Anyway Best of luck to SKODA FABIA

By Sanjeev Sharma on Mar 16, 2007

The new Fabia is a stunner! Looks are great, interiors amazing, fuel efficiency miles ahead & build quality - there is no match. However, company should price it correctly if it really wants to sell volumes of it in India. The ideal price range should be 4.5 - 5.5 lakh. Its useless to buy a hatchback beyond this range even if it is a new Fabia.

By Ravi on Mar 21, 2007

i have seen skoda fabia in colombo, it is exactly a look alike of lets say swift. its like skoda octavia cut into half and made a hatch back model. just like our very own indigo.. an extended version of indica.
nothing great about it exterior wise.

By NIRAV SHAH on Mar 21, 2007

Can anyone with good corporate espionage skills please find out the most probable ex-showroom price of Skoda Fabia hatchback when launched? The range mentioned on the net swing wildly between as low as 4.0 to as high as 6.5 . Please help. A poor man’s itch to travel on classy four wheels depends you gentlemen and ladies’ reply. Is it worth waiting for Fabia or should a Swift/Santro XO right away be the way to go?

By Harry on Mar 22, 2007

hi skoda is sexy but i am waiting for fabia for past 6 months any 1 as idea abt its launching plz mail me arun_babl2006@yahoo.co.in

By Arun on Mar 24, 2007

As per Business Line dated 25th March, 2007, the Fabia should be priced between 6 and 7 Lacs, in which case, they will be helping others cars in the segment, Swift diesel and the soon to be launched Getz prime, sell really well. It would not be worthwhile going for a car which is about 40 % costlier than the competition, considering that the only thing extra that you get will be a Skoda badge !

By Manoj KC on Mar 26, 2007

can u plz tell me its only in fabiahatch back or they realising even in fabiasedan model

By raju on Mar 27, 2007

Good in looks,huge in space,It is basically a luxury hatchback. Good for Indian roads but bit tough for Indian pocket.

By Ramesh on Mar 28, 2007

IT IS SAME LIKE SWIFT . THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS IT IS MORE EXPENCIVE. I DONT THINK THIS COMPANY WILL SALE EVEN A SINGLE CAR IN INDIA.DO U THINK WE R FOOLS.
U R MAKING US APRIL FOOL.

By swaraj on Apr 4, 2007

Skoda sure makes some of the Best Diesel Cars @ Not so gr8 prices.
Skoda’s Superb-V6 Diesel is is one amazing car which can take on the Mercedes C-class & BMW 3series & features of an E-class…

Fabia sure is going to be an excellent Hatchback.

By Phani Mullapudi on Apr 6, 2007

hii… its seems that fabia is a nice car…. plzz tell
me when it is expected to launch

By Ritesh Shah on Apr 14, 2007

I have been waiting for Fabia Hatch. Last week I saw Logan and was almost on the verge of booking one. But thought wait for some more time. When is it coming?

By Ramesh Hosangadi on Apr 15, 2007

Hi….
Will Fabia be launched with an auto box???? especially in the diesel version????

By Rohit on Apr 19, 2007

I hope you sound true to launch this year at least.

By HARISH on Apr 25, 2007

very much similar to the swift. anyway SKODA is anyday any time better than MARUTI.would love to own it, if price comensurates features.

By atanu laik on Apr 26, 2007

Yes the SKODA FABIA is truly a dream machine with its dropjaw looks. The pricing needs to be penetrative to sweep the market off its feet. It would leave competition gasping for breath if I may say so !! Its a clean winner amongst all hatchbacks with the Getz alone coming close to it. the SWIFT is far far way behind in terms of dashing looks and stunning design. Hats off to SKODA. Well done guys !!

By Deepak on Apr 26, 2007

fabia is most bautiful car of the year

By satish on Apr 27, 2007

Engine:

Two variants of diesel and petrol are likely to be offered in india (since only engines under 1500cc for diesel and 1200cc for petrol falls under the tax band of 16%). These engines are already available in Romania and Czech market. Engines will be borrowed from Skoda roomster-another successful model from Skoda, for Fabia.

Mileage figure in Czech by similar vehicles

Diesel engines:

1.4TDI PD/51 KW �??-18.4kpl
1.4TDI PD/59KW �??-19.1kpl

Petrol engines:

1.2 HTP/44KW �??�?? N.A
1.2 HTP/51 KW �??�??14.7kpl

Very important for India (and for Skoda) will be the smallest of these engines offered. The three-cylinder 1198cc 12-valve petrol engine puts out 60bhp but this engine�??s 11.4kgm of torque at a low 3000rpm. The 1422cc turbo-diesel will be Skoda trump card though. A three-cylinder version of the Laura�??s PD motor, it puts out an impressive 79bhp and an even more impressive 19kgm@ 2000rpmof torque which can be matched only by Maruti swift. So it will go head-on with the Swift diesel, Tata indica and the soon-to-be-launched Getz diesel.
To be competitive apart from the performance and pricing, Skoda has to improve its customer satisfaction (it occupies 9th rank in JD power CSI study) before this launches.

Design:

According to Skoda, new Skoda Fabia will be of 3992 mm in length (well under 4000mm to enjoy tax sops) 1642 mm in breadth and 1498 mm in height Fabia is largest in its class. The effectively usable space offers the occupants more space both in the front seats and in the rear. The boot has a basic capacity of 300 litres as against 232 litres in Maruti swift and, when the rear seats of Fabia are folded down, it will increase to 1163 litres.

The world car got the opportunity to ride the new generation Fabia has come up with following facts.

�??�?�The design of the new Fabia expresses clearly emotional characteristics. The fresh design with its strongly accentuated radiator grille, the integrated headlights which are both dynamic and harmonious, and the sideline which expresses both agility and value combine to make the new Skoda stand out clearly from its competitors. This is achieved by means of the white roof, available on request, and the four different wheel designs in the programme. The space is exceptionally generous in spite of its compact measurements and, in the rear; the amount of headspace provided is impressive. The ergonomic seat position for the driver is a matter of course in the new Fabia, while the higher position of the seats affords a better view of the bonnet and also makes entering and leaving more comfortable. The new Fabia offers more space for knee and foot space for all occupants, setting new standards in travelling comfort. Numerous functional improvements have been realised in the interior. The operating elements for the ventilation and the audio unit have been set high up in the centre console. This makes it possible to operate them without being distracted from what is happening in traffic�?�”.

The highlights of the new Skoda Fabia :
�?� Large boot with a capacity of from 300 to 1163 litres
�?� Above-average legroom for all passengers
�?� The best headroom for rear passengers in the small car class
�?� Choice of different engines
�?� Integrated six-CD autochanger (option)
�?� Two-tier boot cover-which can be installed at two different heights increasing the flexibility and functionality of the boot.
�?� Curve halogen projector headlights (option)
�?� Cornering front fog-lights (option)
�?� Seven different wheel designs, four steel and three alloy
�?� Diesel particle filter for the 1.4 TDI PD/59 kW and 1.9 TDI PD/77 kW diesel engines
�?� Attractive rear lights in Skoda�??s trademark C-shape
�?� Higher seat positions for driver and front passenger that afford a better view and more comfortable access
In the rear, a child�??s seat can be affixed with a top-tether belt which limits the forward movement of the upper part of the child�??s seat in the event of a head-on collision.

Price:

Fabia may be priced at around in the price band of 4.5-6lakhs (10-15 percent more than the Getz). What you will get for the premium will be quality levels previously unheard of in this segment, plenty of interior space and solid European build and safety. The Fabia is sure to give Hyundai getz and Maruti swift a few sleepless nights at the very least. It is certainly ahead of the game when it comes to interior space, quality and choice of engines

Does it really look like swift?if i had to choose between swift and fabia, what should it be..?

By Harshna on Apr 28, 2007

Dear Sir,
I would also like to know like many other curious customers whether Fabio will be launched in the sedan segment like the ‘Verna or Fiesta’?
Need urgent reply!Thanx!

By Manish on May 2, 2007

My question is about the transmission. Does anybody know if there is an automatic version of this car. That would be fantastic on mumbai roads.

By rav on May 5, 2007

look so

By prashant on May 6, 2007

Hey going by the info rleft by Sanjeev Sharma my spirits about skoda fabia stand dampened. I feel now that with a budget of Rs 4.5 lacs i would be able to acquire one. A mileage of 14 kmpl is also a deterrinh info as every one was saying that it would give something around 18 kmpl.
Any way let the thingie arrive..we shall take a close look at its real time performance to judge it better…especially under Indian weather and driving conditions and Indian roads to be HONEST.

By Apurv on May 7, 2007

Fabia is neat car seen in europe & s.america but not very economical compared to “getz” & other smaller cars in the same segment

By siddharth g on May 7, 2007

hi.. its nice to have skoda in india… but we indian are still waiting to see fabia… as it is a compat car for the teenagers nd we are eagerly waiting 4 that to come fast…

By sahil on May 9, 2007

hi can anybody tell me the exact month of its launch in india and can we have more pictures of its interiors and exteriors.

By Wasim Wani on May 9, 2007

It is good Idea by Skoda but very difficult to beat Maruti suzuki Swift (diesel).
The cost will be main factor in this segment because Hyundai Gets is also comming in diesel verson.

By Tejinder on May 16, 2007

Guys,
Pricing is the factor which makes difference for this car.,if it is priced any where between 4-5.75 lacs then for sure ,it is worht buying it (keping Logan getz and swift in mind)

By Rajesh Reddy on May 24, 2007

I am seriously looking for car on the road. when to book pl inform me so that I can book immediately. Pl give particulars of this model to me also

By A.R.Reddy on May 27, 2007

Hi,

At last, I think the wait for the world class car is over. I saw it undergoing road test in Mysore on 11th May 2007. Please let us know when the official launch is and when the booking for these babies gonna start.

By Balaji on May 28, 2007

hi !
As coming up to the new concept of cars in India , i beleive that Skoda in pulling the the market at a anoynomous speed. It has variants as others but comparing it makes the people go wild …. now we can see the New Skoda Fabia….which is hitting the market in the coming Oct.07′. as per the features ITS all in one . but what matters is the mileage which is the main issue in running of cars in India. i beleive that the Company had gone deep in the matter of mileage. so good luck Fabia … we love u.

By vineet jain on Jun 13, 2007

I wish to know which variant of skoda fabia will be launched

By Galileo on Jun 13, 2007

What will be the overall difference between the Fabia and the Swift if both the cars have diesel engine? ie apart from the huge price difference.

By devol nath on Jun 20, 2007

It will be good to see Fabia in India; even I am from all above who are waiting for this car to be launched in India and the Prince the most important factor for India byres. But if it is priced between 4.5-6L it worth baying this machine. I think this car is beyond competition. Does anyone have idea of how it is comparable with Ford Fusion in terms of price and specs, Ford is also launching diesel version of Fusion soon.

By Ravi on Jun 21, 2007

its happy to hear that the launch of new fabia a premium hatch from the gr8 skoda. but the engine and looks is very similar to suzuki swift. in this case price will be a prime factor. so price should also made similar at least in the base variant; unless it wont take on suzuki swift in the market

By deepu on Jun 21, 2007

HI Everybody,

Keen to know when it is going to launch? I think everybody is waiting for this car.

Hope seeing the competition Skoda -Fabia is going to compete with SWIFT, U-VA, GETS so price-wise I think it will be between 4.0-5.0L will good enough.

More than this (if it is 6L and plus) than better to have sedan.

Till than keep your finger crossed.

If anybody has some news about launching then plz share.

By Sanjeev Sharma on Jun 22, 2007

Hi,

This is what i was looking from a long time ,,,skoda is having very good driving experience…… This is the best but not more than santro……

It has been expected for a while but no one knew just when the Skoda Fabia would finally come to India.

Now it seems there�??s a definite plan to roll out the famed small car in India by the end of this year.

At the launch of Skoda India�??s Jaipur dealership recently, Karsten Bogun, managing director (commercial) of Skoda India announced that the Fabia would be part of Skoda�??s new aggression in the Indian market.

The hatchback, if it does come, will be positioned in the premium hot hatch segment alongside models like the Swift, Aveo U-VA and Getz.

The sedan should be attractively priced depending upon the level of localisation that the project manages to achieve. Experts say the price aggression is likely given that the company is targetting sales of around 17,000 units this calendar year which works out to around1500-1600 car per month. So far Skoda has sold 43,000 cars in the last five years.

If the hatch does come, Skoda will likely tinker with the length to meet the small car requirements mandatory for tax rebates in India.

The engine size too should be either 1.2 litre or 1.4 litre to qualify for the lower excise tax. The pricing of the sedan could be around Rs 6-7 lakh while the hatch may hover around the Rs 5-6 lakh range.

However Skoda officials say the pricing has not been fixed and the final tag may well be more or less aggressive depending on the positioning of the vehicle.

Hi Everyone,

What I read in The Telegraphindia, calcutta I am sharing with you.

Skoda to launch Fabia by year-end
Ahmedabad/New Delhi, June 27 (PTI):

Czech auto firm Skoda will roll out its first compact car �?? the Fabia �?? in the country by the year-end.

�??We are planning to launch the car by the end of this year. The Fabia is well accepted globally and with our experience in the car business, we are confident of receiving a similar response from the Indian customers as well,�?� Skoda India managing director (commercial) Karsten Bogun said.

Although Bogun did not reveal the price of the car, the Fabia was likely to come with a premium tag and would be placed above the Maruti Swift and the Hyundai Getz that cost between Rs 4-5 lakh. In the last five years, Skoda India has sold over 43,000 units, including luxury sedan Octavia. This year, the company has set a sales target of 17,000 units. The company has a plant in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra.

�??Skoda India is glad to bring two new dealerships at Vadodara and Ahmedabad in Gujarat. We do believe these dealerships will play a vital role in increasing our customers in Gujarat and will also help us achieve a bigger market here,�?� Bogun said. He said the company planed to expand its dealer network to 58 across the country by the end of this year.

By sanjeev sharma on Jul 9, 2007

Hi

If Gagan Bhatia has made some correspondence with a senior Skoda employee and he said the price of the diesel model will be between 5-6 lacs�?�.

Than the petrol version will cost in between 4,25-4,80L as diesel version cost 70-95 thousands more than petrol.

And he said they�??ll be releasin it by 2007 end…..

Thanx for your valuable information.

Rest depends upon SKODA PEOPLE.

I hope one of the model comes with sun roof and automatic transmission. A lot of people are tired of shifting gears in the city traffic - given the average is good a little sacrifice for auto shift trasmission will be worth the cost - also adds an edge as a selling gimmic

i am amar and this upcoming fabia will be thewonder full car and i have alredy plaaned for this car and i will buy it as i am having all skoda cars

By amar garg on Jul 31, 2007

I believe that skoda’s pricing should be much more competitive to match with the other hatch back cars specially in India.
If there is a little bit of difference on pricing then its very difficult for skoda to sell the nos. they expect to do before the launch.
Swift diesel is something which is making a mark and anything priced above this would be like creating a push for buyers to go for swift.
Hope Skoda does something gud on this point

Great BOOM IN SMALL CAR MARKET

By Sanjeev Sharma on Aug 2, 2007

HI, I understood SKODA FABIA is comming lots of guys are dancing in excitement…

I am planning to buy a diesel vehicle, obvious choice are at present Swift Diesel, ..but I am waiting for Getz Diesel..now I believe I do have an another choice comming…

AS I AM AN AUTOMOBILE DOMAIN PERSON i have A DOUBT. worked FOR LEADING german auto industry,

But here is a major question :

1. Swift DDIS (Diesel) is a Common rail Diesel Injection engine. and ths the latest technology in car revolution… Now, as peoples wrote Fabia 1.4 TDi … my doubt whether its simple diesel with Turbo as like indica V2 Turbo or like new GEts or present swift a lightning CRDI.

Hi Raz & Everbody

SMALL CARs in 2009

TOYOTA———–
Is going to launch YARIS(Hatchback)and be the base for Indian small car and planning to launch the car in the retailing market by 2009 in INDIA.

VOLKSWAGEN——-
To launch a POLO variant in India and is expected to be launched sometime in 2009.

MITSUBISHI——-
Is seriously thinking for its debut in small car segment. It may choose ‘i’ for its entry and this car is less than 3.4 metres long and 1.48 metres wide Because of clever engineering it has ample space for four.

FORD————-
May introduce small car for India on its popular hatches ‘KA ‘ or ‘Mazda 2.

These variant are to be expected to be rolled out early 2008 in Europe may be available in India in 2009.

Ford’s KA suits best for indian market.

Cheers!

Skoda fabia is a good car, it is worth for money, I was using it in gulf, the petrol model. It Squeezes out petrol giving 22km/lit. Cost of the car was around 5lakh. deisel model was giving mileage of 28km/lit .
All the car are with ABS, Air bag, immobiliser. keyless entery etc.

I din’t know how much it is in INDIA

I am waiting for this small tank

By Dr.Somarajan on Sep 17, 2007

Skoda fabia has postponed its launch to january 10th 2008 (auto expo 2008) and might be priced between 4.5-6 lakh.

The car is going to priced between 6-7 lakh by news.tecwhack, but according to Business-standard.com and Fordindia.blogspot.com the car is in the range of Rs 5-6 lakh.

Skoda auto chairman Detlef Wittig told Indian journalists on the sidelines of the Frankfurt motor show that the company would launch Fabia in the price band of Rs 5 - 6 lakh, in Petrol and Diesel variants.

Production will begin by the end of October this year and the company will have 500 cars ready by the time of the launch. The company plans to produce 20,000 units of Fabia in the first year.

TILL THEN KEEP YOUR FINGURES CROSSED

By Sanjeev Sharma on Sep 19, 2007

From skoda dealer

They said thatSkoda India would finally launched their much awaited Fabia model in the Indian market in January next year.

It would retail for somewhere around Rs. 5-6 lakhs though it is not yet confirmed.

By Sanjeev Sharma on Sep 28, 2007

Fabia appears to be a good car but if the company wants

to market it successfully , has to -

make the ground clearance at-least 170 mm and enlarge

the number of sales and service points or to appoint

the licencee sales and service agents in hot but un-

represented area like Patna (Bihar) .

Any repply please ?

By Sushil Jangid on Oct 30, 2007

Update: Fabia’s launch date is postponed to early next year. Skoda Auto India will showcase the car in 2008 Auto Expo to be held in New Delhi (10 to 17 January). Even if Skoda launches the car in January, delivery would be started in February only.

By Banwari on Oct 31, 2007

Eagerly waiting for its launch in India. For the last 10 months waiting for Fabia’s launch to change my car. Like to know abt the 1.4L petrol specification too. Hope i will get a reply for this. Abt the price here it is noted that 5-6.75, is it the price of the basemodel?

By Nanda Kumar G R on Nov 1, 2007

Dear sirs,
I look for more details about Fabia launching andits further details.
krishnareddy.

By krishnareddy on Nov 1, 2007

Dear Mr. Nanda,

The data provided here (i.e. prices, specifications etc) is based on speculations. It might or might not be same when the car is actually launched. I understand that you have been waited for Fabia for last 10 months but I can assure you this time that the car will be in showrooms in January-February 2008.

By Banwari on Nov 1, 2007

Skoda Fabia looks fantastic… but the price wise is lil higher when compared to haybatch cars (swift, getz, U-VA) if its so high it would be difficult to catch Indian market. It would be like SRV. though the launching would be in Jan 08 and the car would hit the roads in Feb 08. They have to consider Pricing prior to launch of vehicle. When Fabia haybatch hits the market with high price and later reducing the price does not make sense.

By Mruthunjaya.N.C on Nov 5, 2007

i heard from my briother inlaw who works in skoda india… dat this is a great car and it will give good average?(18-20 kmpl) city conditions….

it will start from the price range of 6.2lakhs…
as skoda belives in having quality customers rather then massess….
to make the owners of their vehicles Xclusive and proud owners…

By great scorpion on Nov 10, 2007

It sound great. We have great hopes,as this will be small but biger strudy car other than usual Japnies or Korean ones.
Scoda’s engine are from VW (as I konw) and known for fuel economy.
Ihave used Audi80, & Jetta. Both are fabulous where only company in product monograph officialy claimed fuel economy of 22km/L in Diesal @ 80Km/Hr!!!
If priced proprly will do very well. But should not do like Ford fusion. That’s only Worry.

By Naveen Hastir on Nov 18, 2007

M sure fabia is gonna b overpriced in dat case u must check Chevy UVA.

WHAT U PPL HAVE TO SAY BOUT UVA.

By R.Narasimman on Nov 18, 2007

By anup rayannavar on Nov 19, 2007

I have seen the Fabia in Belgium and the engine sounds horrible. Some of the features which comes as standard in Europe is not required here in India. Air bag and ABS. Kindly plan features accordingly so that the customer will get the PRICE benefit. Electrically controlled side Mirror,Tubeless tyre,less noise in Engine,Keeping a folder for the Lap Top,Digital Dash board, Keyless entry and remote control release of boot, climatic contorlled AC can be considered in the feature. With the budjetory benefit to Diesel version car with less than 4m length and 1500cc, i request the marketing team to pass the benefit to the customer in the Price tag. More than 6Lac for hatch back in Inida, the customer will think twice.

By Reggie Mathew on Nov 19, 2007

I think fabia is gonna b a hell of a car bt price wch is gonna let fabia down?wt u say

By Naveen Hastir on Nov 22, 2007

I think anything over 7 Lacs for higher end model is expensive. The other cars in the premium hatchback segment are at the max 6Lacs for the higher end(ie Swift and Getz).

I don’t mind paying an additional 1Lac for the quality and extra goodies that are offered in the Fabia european models.

If the Skoda can bring the quality in this segment then it is worth paying an additional 1Lac more for this car.

By Satish on Nov 23, 2007

Fabia looks fantastic. I saw it in Internatioanl Motor show in Frankfurt. I am really looking forward to see it in India. According to some speculation it is going to launch on 26th Jan. The price range would be between 5 to 7 Lacks. Looking forward to see what kind of features offered in new Fabia. But if the Europian and Indian model are same then folks believe me its a fantastic car.

By Pankaj on Nov 23, 2007

Hi guys,
I just wanted to know if u people can let me know if skoda fabia is compared fiat grande punto which would be cost effecive as in maintainess for both disel and petrol versions…Another qestion to add on which as been in my mind for a very long time now is when i go to skoda website and check the specifications their not much diffrence comparatively with both cars so which one of the car has more space inside.But the interiors in skoda looks good in the official website so will there be a change in the quality of the product as when the car is goin to be launched in india as compared to the fabia sold in U.K

Thanks
Sunil

By sunil on Nov 27, 2007

Hi everybody,

All waiting for skoda fabia, me also but when I read somewhere in magazine that Jazz Honda small car and Fabia going to cost 6 lacs. This really made me to think again. Earlier I wrote that it will cost 4.5 onwards as some of the dealer whom I contacted told me this and with this price I was very happy but when I read the price of Jazz and Fabia you can understand….

Till then keep your finger crossed.

By Sanjeev Sharma on Nov 29, 2007

I got a call from Skoda dealer at Indore that Skoda Fabia will be available for test drive around 15.12.07.
Hopefully car will be priced in 5-6.5L bracket. With cool features, german technology and skoda’s track record, prize of +50k won’t be an issue. I cancelled booking of Getz few months back and waiting for skoda to change my existing car..Hope Skoda comes as per expectations & has strong power-milage-looks combination.

By Sanjay Khimesara on Nov 29, 2007

Hi Sanjay Khimesera,

Its nice hearing from your side but on the same how can the car will be available for test drive around 15.12.07 before launching. Anyway when you got call from Skoda dealer for test drive please also confirm the price. This will be highly appreciative by the viewer who are waiting for the price.

Thanks once again

By Sanjeev Sharma on Nov 30, 2007

Hi Sanjeev,
I spoke to the dealer..they will get the prices during mid december, when the vehicle will be sent to all dealers across india.They plan to launch it in mid Jan and delivery begins around 26th Jan’08. Price bracket remains 4.5-8L but they hv no clues..

By Sanjay Khimesara on Dec 1, 2007

hi i`ve vbeen looking at this mean machine for quite som time now. i`m just worried about that hwo will skoda india will price this little baby. if these people want their product to be on top cvharts they must price near 5 lakh or so as for such an amount they can get a sedan………

By Nimish on Dec 3, 2007

I am the awaited customer of this car pls i request the marketing division of skoda to inform the exact date on which this car will be launched in indore (m.p.)

By g.balasubramanian on Dec 5, 2007

Hi folks

Fabia sounds exciting.. good mileage etc etc.

BUT

The cost of ownership is going to be high and it is not for the faint hearted. Skoda is known for expensive spare parts.. scheduled service itself would cost appx Rs. 1 per km.

There is no information about the pricing of the different models to be launched, and the delivery period of the car. how many colours will be launched also not known!. saw the white coloured vehicle on the roads of MIDC area Shendra at Aurangabad

By jayesh pathak on Dec 17, 2007

I feel Skoda Fabia is one of the Superb Car. Pricing shld be competetive to Swift and Getz

By Prashanth on Dec 18, 2007

Seeme to be very nice car in that segment. Price should be competative with Getz and Swift

By Prashanth on Dec 18, 2007

Due to the launch of skoda fabia in India, the three waiting of Maruti Swift Diesel has gone.
Suzuki and Hyndai has lost their sleep. There must be competition. I was to take Maruti Swift Diesel, But now I am waiting for Skoda Fabia. The name it self tell its quality.

By varun on Dec 20, 2007

Hello folks

I read the above information and i would like to share some info from my side. The booking of Skoda has been started in Pune.

Following is some of the technical information of Skoda Fabia:
Boot space 310L
Ground clearence : 146mm
Width: Not wide enough (compare to Getz and Swift)
Length: best in its class
Height: Not tall enough (Compare to Getz and swift)
Air bags: It has got airbags right from the basic model
ABS: has ABS
AC: climate control AC
Average: diesel 28 and Petrol 13-15 (Company average)
available in 5 colors.
Price : Petrol 5 to 6 lacks
Diesel : 6 to 7 Lacks

The official price list will be coming in Jan right after Auto Expo.

Delivery of the car: End of Jan or Feb 1st week.

Guys i hope that this information is helpful to all of you.

I have compared Fabia with Swift,Getz and Fusion and based on that came to the following conclusion.
Fabia is not a very good choice in its class. Some of the better cars are also available in the market.

Awaiting for your comments and feedback

Cheers.

By Pankaj on Dec 21, 2007

yes the car with these specifications looks overpriced. diesel variant in 6-7 lacs bracket sounds preety expensive.i would rather go in for something like honda city in that range.

I am looking for new car and decided for SWIFT vxi but got confused between fabia kindly help me.

By suhas patil on Dec 26, 2007

I think you must go for FABIA 1.4L Petrol.

By AMOL on Dec 26, 2007

Hi Suhas suggest you see the website www.fabiafeelspecial.com You can also have a special advance preview.

I saw the website www.fabiafeelspecial.com It has gud visual appeal. I like the safety feautures. Even the price band looks OK to me. Subconsciously I have always associated Skoda with “premium” quality.

Cars, cars & cars. Never had it so good. Had almost finalised purchasing a Swift.Saw website of Fabia. Don’t mind waiting for a few weeks. Will try to figure out which one suits me more.

Hello everybody,

I checked with Skoda Dealer regarding price. At this moment they are talking about only 1.4 engine and the cost is 5.75-7.65. Yes Mr. Suhas patil you are absolutely right. Booking is already on and delivery in the month of Jan and car will display on 9th Jan 2008 and exact prices will be revealed on that day.

Special Thanx to Mr vinit chadda for the wonderful site (www.fabiafeelspecial.com)

Happy Driving
