Skoda launches low emissions Fabia ‘Greenline’

The Skoda Fabia ‘Greenline’, a new environmentally-friendly car with an ultra-efficient diesel engine, has gone on sale across the UK

The Skoda Fabia ‘Greenline’, a new environmentally-friendly car with an ultra-efficient diesel engine, has gone on sale across the UK.

The 1.4-litre TDI engine from the standard Fabia has been modified to decrease the fuel consumption of the Skoda Fabia ‘Greenline’ and lower its carbon emissions.

And the Skoda Fabia ‘Greenline’ can achieve an amazing 69mpg as a result, while producing only 109g/km of CO2.

This puts it into road tax band ‘B’, with a charge of only £35 per year.

Buyers can choose between a hatchback or estate version, with prices starting at £11,490 for the hatch and £12,140 for the estate.

Skoda claim the estate boasts class-leading economy figures, with no other estates available in the Fabia’s price range with better green credentials.

As well as changes to the engine, improvements have been made to the Skoda Fabia’s aerodynamics.

Panels fitted to the underside of the car and different positioning of the front bumper help air to flow more efficiently around the vehicle.

Combined, they give the Skoda Fabia ‘Greenline’ its low fuel consumption, and Skoda claim it has the ability to cover 689 miles between refuelling stops.

This is an increase in range of 75 miles over the standard 1.4-litre TDI Skoda Fabia 2 on which the ‘Greenline’ is based.

The Skoda Fabia ‘Greenline’ is available in green, back, silver or white and with ‘Greenline’ decals.

The car is available to order now, with the first customers expecting deliveries from April 21.
