New Skoda Fabia RS gets 1.4-litre TSI
As far as the next Skoda Fabia vRS goes, it’s goodbye diesel, hello petrol.
VW Group kiddie hatches from SEAT and Skoda has always been good over the years, providing range-toppers which were not just concerned with performance but also frugality.
Now Skoda is closing that chapter on saloon vRS...Or is it? Well according to sources, the company will utilize the 1.4-litre TSI unit and according to Skoda big boss, “We have the opportunity to bring it up to 174 horsepower but we have not decided the final output”.
Not quite the pocket rocket Fabia will be, but it is considerably up on the outgoing model. Question is though, will it match it for torque? It probably will not - we all know when it comes to diesel, talk is cheap but torque is not.
Diesel prices have generally gone up pretty much all over the world and thus buying an oil burner these days doesn’t offset the premium one pays over its petrol equivalent in fuel savings.
A good move then for Skoda? Looks like it.
