2014 New Skoda Fabia Combi Breaks Cover
2014 New Skoda Fabia Combination before lightweight estate’s globe first appearance at the Paris Auto Show this Friday.
The new Combination edition of the newest Fabia hatch out that will also elite in Italy is exactly what you’d anticipate it to be; an unadventurous but realistic and huge place chariot with the regular Germanic design of VW Team designs.
There’s no formal details on the Combination yet, but we know that it will be a little bit larger than its forerunner providing a baggage potential well in unwanted of the new hatchback’s 330 liters with the chairs up and more than the 1,485 liters of the confident estate’s highest possible area.
Skoda has officially yanked the covers off the new generation Fabia Combi that will join the hatchback model in a world premiere at the 2014 Paris Auto Show.
The new compact estate model shares its styling, interior and powertrains with the third generation Fabia hatch, but thanks to the extended rear end, it can swallow up to 530 liters of luggage with the rear seats in their place, which is 200 liters more than the 5d model and 25 liters more than the older estate.
Oddly, capacity with the back seat folded has been decreased by 90 liters compared to its predecessor to 1,395 liters, without Skoda giving any explanation.
The station wagon's interior is 21mm wider and 8mm longer that the model it replaces, with the Czech carmaker stating that, while the new Combi is slightly lower, it also offers more headroom for the driver and front seat passenger. Overall, it's 10 mm longer, 90 mm wider and 31 mm lower than its predecessor.
Adding to its practicality are 17 so-called "Simple Clever" solutions ranging from the optional dual boot floor with two levels to the standard ice scraper in the fuel filler flap and the 7 drink bottle holders (i.e. the front doors can each hold a 1.5-liter bottle).
Even though it's slightly bigger and comes with added comfort and technology features over the car it replaces, including a standard electronic differential lock function XDS+, and available front and rear parking sensors and Rain-Light Assistant, the Combi is up to 55 kg (121 lbs) lighter, depending on vehicle configuration.
When it goes on sale in Europe early next year, the 2015 Fabia Combi will be available with four petrol engines ranging in power from 75PS to 110PS (74hp to 108hp) and three diesels offering between 75PS to 105PS (74hp to 104hp), paired to either manual or dual-clutch semi-automatic DSG transmissions.
Skoda says fuel consumption is reduced by up to 17 per cent compared to the second-generation model, with the most frugal version in the series being the Fabia Combi Greenline that will return 3.1l/100km (75.9mpg US or 92.1mpg UK) with C02 emissions of 82g/km.
