Skoda to launch new Fabia variants this year

Skoda is planning to bring in more new variants of cars in india in 2009. The successful Skoda Fabia will again thrill the Indian car market with its new variants

This will include a new sports model, Fabia Sport line, featuring newly-designed interiors and alloy wheels. It will be fired by a powerful 1800-cc engine to cater to the growing demand for sports vehicles. The existing Fabia range comes with 1200-1600 cc engine capacity.

Skoda Auto India will be launching its small cars in India in the price range of Rs. 3 lakh to Rs. 5 lakh, priced even below its flagship model, Fabia. The car would be making its introduction in India before launching it globally.

Currently, Fabia is assembled at Skoda’s Aurangabad facility that will move to Volkswagen’s upcoming plant at Pune in Maharashtra in April-May, 2009. Skoda will also launch the next generation models of sedans Superb and Laura in the next few months..

The three new models that are to come up this year are expected to help Skoda to push up sales promote. It is incidentally the only car maker with increasing sales despite the slump in the domestic market. The total auto sales have declined due to the financial reduce and it is said that the sales grew by 22 per cent to 11,309 cars in the April-December period.
