Skoda Fabia Scout breaks cover

Skoda has unveiled the first official photographs of the Fabia Scout. The new addition to the Scout family will make its world debut at this year's Geneva Motor Show.

A uniquely-shaped bumper and plastic cladding give this new version of Skoda's popular estate enhanced, robust features.

In addition, protective elements on the sides of the body and a silver roof-rails underline the Fabia Scout's bold shape.

Four engines will be available for the new Fabia Scout - two petrol and two diesel units. The petrol engines will consist of a 1.4 litre, 85bhp engine with fuel consumption of 6.5L/100km and 1.6 litre, 105bhp with a fuel consumption of 6.9L/100km, available with a six-speed transmission.

The two diesel engines are a 1.4 litre, 80bhp engine with fuel consumption of 4.6L/100km and the top-of-the-range 1.9-litre engine offering 77 kW (105bhp) and fuel consumption of 4.9L/100km (57.7mpg).

Scout-specific upholstery brings the Scout styling to the interior along with floor mats bearing the Scout logo. The Scout logo also appears on the vehicle's tailgate. Other Scout features include the pedals with stainless steel surfaces and anti-slip, heavy-duty rubber elements.

The Fabia Scout is fitted with lightweight 'Arktos' alloy wheels designed especially for this model. It is fitted with sixteen-inch alloy wheels as standard and customers can choose seventeen-inch wheels of the same design as an option. Other distinctive features of the Fabia Scout include fog lamps (with corner design) and tinted windows.

The vehicle will be available in the UK from late May this year.
