Skoda India Might Re-launch the Fabia Hatch

Sudhir Rao, CMD, Skoda India said "On internal parameters we've just had our best in five years. We're confident that in 2015, we will turn the corner on customer satisfaction." The company is also focusing more on the availability of spare parts and important components at different dealerships.
About the Skoda Fabia, its however unclear that in India, the automaker will bring a slightly updated Fabia or will launch the latest model that was showcased at last year’s Paris Motor Show. However, there is no proper time frame on when will Skoda Fabia be relaunched.
The Fabia which was showcased at the Paris Motor Show, houses a 1.0-litre, 3-cylinder and 1.2 liter 4-cylinder TSI petrol engine and 1.4 liter diesel engine in different state of tunes, all Euro 6 compliant. The engines are capable of saving upto 17% more fuel than the outgoing model, thanks to the advance start-stop and brake energy recovery system, that comes standard across all variants.
