The new Škoda Fabia Greenline II will become the most environmentally-friendly car ever to wear the famous Škoda badge which goes on sale on sale in the UK next week.
The second generation Greenline is powered by a new three-cylinder turbocharged 1.2 TDI CR 75bhp DPF common rail (high-pressure direct injection) engine which returns an impressive 83.1 mpg (combined cycle) and produces exceptionally low CO2 emissions of only 89g/km, which means the Fabia Greenline II is exempt from road tax.
The fantastic new Fabia vRS will be officially launched in the UK on Thursday 29 July 2010, and prices and specification have been confirmed.
The new vRS is the fastest production Fabia ever built, and builds on its predecessor’s reputation for high performance, low running costs and remarkable value for money.
Available as a hatch and estate, the vRS is powered by the fantastic 1.4 TSI 180bhp engine in tandem with a 7-speed DSG transmission, with ESP, HHC (Hill Hold Control) and XDS (Electronic Differential System). Acceleration from 0-62mph takes just 7.3 secs, with a top speed of 139mph (140mph for the estate).
Following the launch of the face-lifted Fabia and Roomster, Škoda Auto has unveiled the Fabia Estate GreenLine II and Roomster GreenLine II – the first of its second generation of environmentally-friendly GreenLine models.
The new model Fabia and Roomster have been facelifted and fitted with new technology designed to further reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The most important innovations include a new engine (1.2 TDI CR /75bhp DPF) with common rail (high-pressure direct injection), stop-start technology, energy recuperation and gear recommendation (on a Maxi DOT display).

Despite very difficult market conditions, Skoda Auto was one of the few car manufacturers to achieve record sales in 2009. Overall it supplied its customers with 684,226 cars, 1.4% more than in 2008.
Strong growth in the Chinese car market, where 122,556 cars were sold (up 106.7% year-on-year) was primarily behind the increase in deliveries. This was enhanced by a sales record on the German market, in which Skoda Auto, thanks to the government “scprappage program”, sold 162,328 cars ( +44.3%).
Following on from their sparkling debut at the Geneva motor show, Skoda Auto has announced prices for its new, improved Fabia and Roomster models.
With fantastic new engines, a fresh face and a whole raft of technical refinements, both the Fabia supermini and Roomster MPV are even more attractive than ever. And being Skodas, both also represent great value for money, with the Fabia range starting at just £9,330 and the versatile Roomster from only £11,260 (all prices with 1st April Road Fund Licence inclusive).
