2011 Skoda Fabia Review
With the series Škoda Fabia, Škoda Auto has established a solid foundation for its portfolio of five cars. The roots of urban families are evident everywhere. The bold lines and elegant exterior design to its smallest components, the Fabia is attentive to the details of Skoda through simple, smart and innovative. And now, in the spring of 2010, the Skoda Fabia has been completely revised with a new face and a greater emphasis on energy efficiency and comfort. The extent of his technical innovations, goes far beyond a facelift.
The new Škoda Fabia Combi and Škoda Roomster will also get the bold new look both inside and outside as well as many technical changes under the skin. But while they look may have changed the character of this multi-talented couple has not. With a capacity of 505 liters of luggage with the rear seats up and 1,485 liters with them flat, Škoda Fabia Combi continues to provide the kind of trunk that goes beyond what is normally offered in this class. Meanwhile, Skoda Roomster, with its highly versatile in the back seat VarioFlex still meets the requirements of families and working people alike. His boot volume can be extended a minimum of 480 liters to 1810 liters, which makes a champion Škoda Roomster load.

The new Škoda Fabia RS is also celebrating its premiere at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, and for the first time, the sporty Škoda Fabia is available as a property. Its combination of high-performance 132 kW (180 hp) and low fuel consumption of only 6.4 km itres/100 mark it as a class leader.
These variants of the series Škoda Fabia, Škoda Auto offers a wide range of models in the segment of small cars to meet virtually any customer requirement.
The front features a completely redesigned strong horizontal forms, which visually less Skoda Fabia despite its size has not changed. The Fabia is much healthier, but does so without compromising comfort. "With this reorganization, any component escaped our attention," describes the development of Executive Eckhard Scholz review complete. The reason behind the new design is in the range of new engines, state of the art and turbocharged frequency, which will debut in the Skoda Fabia, including a charge of two units. Complete change in the engine program is necessary to redesign the front Skoda Fabia and therefore the possibility of postponing his face was taken. The bumper and its attachments, forms of the headlamps, hood and the floor area before - not shared in the latest Skoda Fabia.
The new grille and headlights in three dimensions to define the look of the new Skoda Fabia, its horizontal lines to emphasize the width of the front panel. "The proportions seem much more relaxed," says Head of Audi design, Jozef Kaban. Her new face is more secure and dynamic, but also more elegant and mature, now uses an emotional level.
Despite its overhaul, the Škoda Fabia existing virtues have not been forgotten. The surface of the visor-like window that wraps around the cabin has always been a central part of the Skoda Fabia, and the rest. The possibility of an additional roof coatings were observed.
Thank you to the new headlights back on the wings, like the side profile is extended, while Škoda Fabia Škoda brand lamps have elegant C-shaped graphics. All of these features that the new Fabia continues to illustrate the brand.
New rims and aluminum wheels design, with new colors Rallye Green, Aqua Blue and Pacific Blue, the end of the renewal of the little Skoda. The hatchback version of the Škoda Fabia is now also available with roof rails for the first time. Lightweight design and attention to detail to maintain their weight at only two kilograms.
Inside, the cabin is to improve the development of new materials and visual refinements. Chrome air vents, gear lever and handbrake button, a framework to transmit high-quality Skoda Fabia. The new three four-spoke leather is now optional, and the scope of a multi-purpose audio systems control and telephone. An attractive, breathable, seat covers and update Climatronic air-conditioning controls for the new Skoda Fabia car the feel of a much larger class.
The information display driver has also been redesigned, the central screen now has a gear shift indicator, which makes a significant contribution to fuel economy higher. On versions with the selected speed DSG is displayed while the display is constant outside temperature in the central monitor is an important safety feature. The function of cruise control and speed limit warnings indicating the speed limit in the country with speed limits on highways and vehicles with speed restrictions due to winter tires.
Previous color, arrow-based navigation system Škoda Fabia has now been replaced by a sophisticated system for larger Skoda Amundsen. This is a five-inch touch screen, SD card reader and the connection point for external memory devices. In addition, the Mobile Device Interface (MDI) for use with iPod, AUX-IN, USB and mini USB drives are available and can be found in the lower glove box. This replaces the previous CD changer.
GSM phone preparation is also new. The system is able to simultaneously maintain two Bluetooth audio streaming. This way you can on your speaker phone while listening to music from an external source added. Both connections can be used through the buttons on the optional multi-function leather steering wheel. Voice Control is also a button to activate the multi-function leather steering wheel, or the phone is a GSM box II, the Comfort system.
The new Škoda Fabia has improved the motor program is the heart of all innovations. A total of seven petrol and three diesel engines are available. Power outputs range from 44 kW (60 hp) to 132 kW (180 hp) gasoline engines, while diesel units delivering 55 kW (75 hp) 77 kW (105 hp). All engines meet the EU5 exhaust emission standards, offers excellent fuel economy and extremely low CO2 emissions. All cars with manual transmissions include a gear selection indicator for the promotion of fuel-efficient driving. An arrow on the screen to insert dashboard displays when changing gears to keep the engine speed range to its most effective.
As elsewhere in the Škoda family, the engine cycle is determined by the art of downsizing. Considerably reduced displacement is completed by double-charging or supercharging and direct injection of high precision to achieve the optimum combination of performance and fuel economy. Turbo-charging increases the levels of torque, particularly in gasoline engines, while the traction is available from low engine speeds than with conventional, naturally aspirated engines. The unit of supreme power in the range Škoda Fabia is the gasoline engine with four cylinders in the Škoda Fabia RS. Despite its capacity in just 1.4 liter, double-click support via a turbocharger with wastegate and a shiftable mechanical compressor ensures that the power is 132 kW (180 hp) while peak torque is 250 while impressive Nm from 2000 rpm to 4500 rpm. Despite muscle performance, combined fuel consumption of just 6.4 l/100km, while CO2 emissions are just 148 g / km.
But the performance was not the only development objective. Environmentally, the sound operation, and thus engines set new standards in the Škoda Fabia. When connected to the evolution DSG seven-speed direct optimized - the new 1.2 TSI engine of 77 kW (105 hp) offers exceptionally low running costs. The fuel consumption of just 5.3 liters of fuel per 100 km (53.3 mpg) and CO2 emissions of just 124 g / km is unusual for its performance. The 1.2 TSI, offered in two performance levels - 63 kW (86 hp) 77 kW (105 hp). The two are combined with a five-speed manual transmission as standard smooth.

Improvements in motor and friction reduction and the adoption of lightweight construction also increase efficiency. For the 1.2-liter three-cylinder crankshaft new light was developed, which is 1.7 kg lighter than its predecessor. Resources are also recorded in production: the cast is a collection of kg lighter than before and less waste production.
Diesel engines offer a range of performance of 55 kW (75 HP) 77 kW (105 hp), with a capacity of 1.2 and 1.6 liters. All are equipped with a particulate filter and a high-pressure injection through a common-rail system. When the injection pressure to 1600 bar has been reached, and the fast response of piezo injector that allows up to five injections per cycle, the refinement of the engine is greatly improved and is a drastic reduction of fuel consumption and exhaust emissions . Additional cleaning of exhaust gases in order to obtain an oxidation catalyst and exhaust gas recirculation diesel engine in all versions of the Skoda Fabia range.
An area of development has been a reduction in noise levels in the two petrol engines 1.2 HTP three cylinders. Instead of the supply chain arm of normal guy, a toothed chain was chosen, the three parts of the chain elements drive more smoothly and quietly on the gears. This creates significantly reduces the noise current, especially during the operation exceeded three-cylinder engines, especially at high revs, which were previously considered to be unpleasant. The noise level thanks to the range most frequently used rev, between 1600 and 3400 rpm is also clearly reduced.
