The Fabia Scout has been launched by Skoda in the Indian market, adding to the existing Fabia line-up. The top-spec Fabia sports projector headlamps, new front and rear bumpers, spoiler, protective cladding and stainless steel pedal set to give it a sporty touch.
The Fabia will run on the same 1.2 litre 75PS petrol and diesel engines mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. The Scout visually differentiates itself from the other siblings but does not have any special off-roading or other capabilities as its international counterpart. The Scout was expected with revised suspension, off-road capabilities and the 1.6 litre 106PS petrol engine.
The price tag of 6.79 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi) for the petrol variant seems a bit high for the package on offer. Nonetheless, the Fabia will ensure good economy and build quality along with the dual airbags, integrated-audio system and tinted windows as standard fitment.
