[ColinD]

ŠKODA is expanding its award-winning Fabia range with the introduction of the new Fabia Monte Carlo, which adds enhanced exterior body styling and a sporty new interior.  

 

The Fabia Monte Carlo builds on the already comprehensive standard equipment of the Fabia SE. It adds 16-inch Italia black alloy wheels, a black radiator grille and black door mirror caps, body coloured rear spoiler, front fog lights, LED daytime running lights, sunset glass, Monte Carlo badging on the B-pillar and a panoramic glass sunroof.

 

On the inside, additional equipment includes bespoke front sports seats, front and rear floor mats with red stitching, black decorative inserts, a cherry red centre console, Monte Carlo pedals, a multi-function sports steering wheel, pearl grey roof lining and carpet, and Monte Carlo badging on the front door inserts. The Fabia Monte Carlo Estate also comes with black roof rails.

 

• Monte Carlo edition brings even more style to award-winning Fabia supermini

• Available as either hatchback or estate, with wide range of engines

• Prices range from £14,645 to £18,740 OTR

• Available with 0% APR; from £105 per month when purchased through ŠKODA Financial Services on Solutions PCP*

• Available to order now

All of the additional equipment is on top of the generously equipped SE which comes with Bolero infotainment system with 6.5-inch colour touchscreen, DAB radio, Bluetooth and SmartLink (a system that mirrors certain smartphone and Apple iPhone functions on the car’s screen), air conditioning, Front Assist emergency braking system, remote locking and alarm.

 

The Fabia Monte Carlo is available with the same wide range of engines in both hatch and estate. There are three petrol units: a 1.0-litre, three-cylinder 75PS MPI with five-speed manual gearbox; a 1.2-litre four-cylinder 90PS TSI with five-speed manual gearbox; a 1.2-litre four-cylinder 110PS with six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG gearbox; and two diesels: a 1.4-litre three cylinder unit with 90PS and a five-speed manual gearbox; and a 1.4-litre three cylinder unit with 105PS and a five-speed manual gearbox.

 

Prices start from £14,645 OTR and is availble from just £105 per month, 0% finance included, when purchased through SKODA Financial Services on Solutions PCP.

 

The Monte Carlo name is a link to ŠKODA’s rally success, and the previous-generation Fabia Monte Carlo was a best-seller in the UK. The new Monte Carlo brings a slice of rally-inspired styling to the Fabia, which was recently named What Car? magazine’s Car of the Year.

Prices might be correct,.

 but there is much in that press release that needs taken with a pinch or handful of salt.

 

It was Award winning before the car went on sale to the public or were delivered to the public then a few Trade Awards / Fleet- Business- Lease back slapping awards.

 The Award Winning was part of the Advertising luckily for Skoda before the cars were available to anyone other than the Press.

Linking a car with only 110ps max available to the buying public with the Rally Success of a All Wheel Drive 1.6 Turbo because of Rally Inspired Styling and a name is pathetic spin from Skoda CZ / UK.

? Where is there any actual Rally Inspired styling on the Monte Carlo Fabia?

 

** The previous Monte Carlo Fabia could never really and truthfully be considered a 'Best Seller' in the uk,

it sold only around 7,000 models in 4 years, Choice of Petrol or Diesel Manuals,

but in just 2013 Skoda UK first registered 32,000 mk2 Fabia.**

(the Petrol / DSG only vRS sold under 3,000 in 4 1/2 years, double that of the sister car from VW, both being sales flops..)

 

It will be interesting to see the awards the New Fabia receives now that there are owners of them driving the cars, 

and if Skoda can get the Connectivity they Boasted of working for the drivers.

 

Maybe time for the discounting of the different models that are available now.

 

 

Fabia Bodyshell for the R5 Rally car.

No Deck Chair style fabric for the interior, or 3 Cylinder Diesel Clatter.

I like the idea of a Monte Carlo model if it was lighter and had better suspension and handling. I just hate how Skoda have done it and how they try and capitalise on it being "sporty" and rally-like when it isn't.

Gotta be honest guys, went into my local skoda dealers, with the intention of comparing the monte carlo to an A1... Fell in love with it instantly. I currently have a VRS mk1 and work have told me I need to change car and get a new one :/ so the monte carlo was the best choice for me.. not as fast (BY ANY MEANS) but the best of the other worlds, comfortable, economical and I got everything I wanted for less than the A1 retail.. 

 

Couldn't complain, now gotta wait the 8 weeks for delivery!
