Skoda Fabia Combi Scoutline 2019 Review

The Škoda Fabia Combi Scoutline advertises its adventure DNA with distinctive bodywork elements in matt black and silver as well as 16- and 17-inch alloy wheels. The new version will be available in selected European markets with all engines and all regular colours for the Fabia Combi.

In the new Škoda Fabia Combi Scoutline, a special front spoiler in matt black with silver trim emphasises the dynamic effect of the redesigned radiator grille and the narrower headlights. Matt black is also the colour for the wheel arch linings and side sills, with the wing mirrors and roof rails sparkling in silver. Like the front spoiler, the new rear bumper with diffuser Combines matt black and silver. The 16-inch Rock alloy wheels are included as standard in the Scoutline version; 17-inch Braga wheels in brushed anthracite metallic are available as an option.

Full engine range with EU6d-TEMP compliance

The Škoda Fabia Combi Scoutline is available with the MPI and TSI engines from the Fabia model series. They each have three cylinders and a 1.0-litre displacement and comply with today's most stringent EU6d-TEMP emissions standard. A start/stop system and brake energy recovery come as standard. The two TSI engines are fitted with gasoline particulate filters.

Of course, the Škoda Fabia Combi Scoutline also benefits from all the other improvements that went into the recently revised Fabia model series. The August 2018 update for the third most popular model from the Škoda vehicle range included a more distinctive exterior as well as new seat upholstery and a new instrument panel. For the first time, the Škoda Fabia can be equipped with optional LED headlights and taillights, while new assistance systems include Auto Light Assist, Blind Spot Detect and Rear Traffic Alert low. The latter uses radar sensors when reversing out of a parking space or driveway to watch out for traffic and alert the driver early on. Add to that new Simply Clever features such as two USB ports in the rear of the cabin, a double-layer floor mat and a removable LED lamp, rechargeable while driving and located in the largest luggage compartment in this class at 530 to 1,395 litres.
