Skoda Australia says it is introducing one highly specified version of the all-new Fabia hatch to the Australian market reflecting customer sentiment.
The Fabia is no longer perceived as a budget sticker European car according to the local distributor, and the brand’s Australian director Michael Irmer says in 2021 the average driveaway price of a new Skoda vehicle was $52,000.
The new highly specified Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo Edition 150 will be available in showrooms from August priced at $37,990 drive away. It rolls on 18-inch alloys with a space saver spare tyre and offers sports suspension with drive mode selection.
It is propelled by a 110kW/250Nm 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine matched to a 7-speed direct shift gearbox. Fuel consumption is 4.9L/100km on the combined cycle and the 40 litre fuel tanks accepts a minimum of 95RON fuel.
The new Fabia is 4108mm long, 1780mm wide, 1459mm high, and has a 2564mm wheelbase which offers a comfortable and spacious cabin. Luggage space with the rear seats up is 390 litres and 1190 litres when folded down.
Park assist is a $1000 option and Phoenix Orange of Velvet Red metallic paint is a $500 option.
Irmer says the new car is a considerable step forward in terms of technology and performance on the long-serving former generation Fabia.
“Perhaps no new model better embodies the Skoda journey in Australia than the new Fabia Monte Carlo,” Irmer says.
“The value of Skoda resides in providing the most metal, the very latest in technical sophistication and the best whole of life ownership proposition for the money.
“We have launched the new generation Fabia in its top line configuration because this is what our customers tell us they want from a Skoda.
“The Monte Carlo Edition 150 is packed with every item of equipment and technical refinement available, at a drive away price and the best whole of life affordability of any European brand,” he says.
Service packs for the Fabia Monte Carlo 150 are priced at $1500 for five years; $2100 for seven years, with the four year used car pack at $1300.
