Skoda has added to its product offering with the arrival of the first new model of 2008, the new Fabia Combi estate Available in four levels of trim and specifications - Classic, Ambiente, Elegance, and Sport - the new Combi estate features many of the hallmarks of the recently introduced Fabia hatchback. Of particular interest to motorists in light of proposed VRT changes is its low A emissions rating.  This feature is particularly evident in what will be the popular 1.4-litre TDI 80bhp unit with its low 120g/km emissions.

Sharing the same key design elements as the existing new-generation Fabia model, the ambition of the new Fabia Combi is to become a stylish family car. Compared with its predecessor, the vehicle's outside dimensions have grown slightly to offer more inside room, particularly in the rear passenger compartment. The size of the boot is remarkably larger, too (basic volume 480 l; 1,460 l with split rear seats folded down). With these parameters, the new Fabia Combi is prepared to compete even with vehicles that are one class higher. Altogether six engines are available for the Combi, three petrol and three diesel units, from 51 kW to 77 kW (70 - 105 HP).
