Pricing details have been revealed for the new Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo, which returns to the model’s range as a performance-inspired top-of-the-line with design changes and a new engine.
Prices start from £20,925 for the entry-level Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo 1.0-litre manual, while the more powerful 1.5-litre model commands a slight premium at £23,765. Skoda’s order books for the model are now open.
The Monte Carlo joins the SE L and Color Edition at the top of the Fabia range. Its engine lineup consists of a 108bhp 1.0-litre petrol that will take you from 0-62mph in 9.9s and a 1.5-litre turbo petrol delivering 148bhp and a 0-62 mph 8.0 sec.
Both engines can be selected with a seven-speed automatic, while a six-speed manual is reserved for the 1.0-liter engine only.
This is the first time that this 1.5-litre engine, used in several Skoda models, including the Skoda Kamiq, Skoda Octavia and Skoda Scala, has appeared in the Fabia. It’s also the most powerful version of Skoda’s supermini since the 177bhp Fabia vRS from 2010.
The Monte Carlo also comes with a host of exterior design changes to set the model apart from the standard Fabia.
Each model is equipped with a black grille and a new front apron with larger air intakes. The rear diffuser, side skirts and window surrounds are finished in black and the Monte Carlo badge is affixed to each fender.
The Monte Carlo also comes with 17-inch wheels, with larger 18-inch wheels available as an option.
Inside, the Monte Carlo gains sports seats with a black and red theme, a decorative strip on the dashboard, carbon fiber effect trim and contrast stitching.
Technology options are similar to the standard Fabia. An 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen is standard (upgradable to a 9.2-inch unit) with smartphone connectivity, as is Skoda’s Virtual Cockpit display.
