Skoda launched the new Skoda Fabia for the Indian market at the Auto Expo in Delhi day before. The car is due to be launched in the next week before the month end. The price is said to be around 4.99 lakhs to 7.6 lakhs which is quite a big range for a small car.
But to say the least, this is no ordinary small car. The luxury of the Skoda is comparable to the top end of any car and we are sure to get a good bang for the buck on this beauty.
The Fabia will be launched with a 1.4 litre petrol and diesel engine at first. Later on in the year the company plans on going in for the 1.2 litre engines. The car will be in the showrooms in 5-6 appealing colors like - Corrida Red, Satin Grey, Brilliant Silver, Magic Black, Candy White and Cappuccino Beige.

TATA has finally unvielled the 1 lakh car at the dealer price level. This works out to about USD 2500. The end customer will be able to buy it for about 20,000 more, so between 1.2 to 1.3 lakh ruppees.
The car itself looks pretty neat and sweet. It measures 3.1 metres in length and 1.6 metres in height. The NANO is about 1.5 metres in width.
The engine of the car is a 623 cc multi point fuel injection petrol eng. The car comes with tubeless tyres which is a good poisitive surprise.
The TATA nano will have a huge advantage over other four wheelers in terms of fuel economy. The reported fuel economy the car will give is about 20 kms/ litre. Also the car is EURO 4 compliant which is great.
