New ŠKODA FABIA MONTE CARLO premieres on 15 February
  • From the racetrack to the road: MONTE CARLO models recall the Czech car manufacturer’s motorsport successes
  • ŠKODA’s portfolio of sporty lifestyle variants soon to be expanded
  • This is now the third MONTE CARLO version in the ŠKODA FABIA’s successful history

Monte Carlo – the name honours ŠKODA’s numerous motor racing successes at the legendary rally in the Principality of Monaco. Recently, the FABIA Rally2 evo achieved its fourth victory there for ŠKODA in the past six years in the WRC2 category, and the brand’s 15th class victory overall. Since 2011, ŠKODA has commemorated these successes with sporty lifestyle versions of various compact model series – a tradition now continued by the new ŠKODA FABIA MONTE CARLO. Debuting on 15 February, the new top-of-the-range FABIA model will be joining the Active, Ambition and Style trim levels.

ŠKODA’s MONTE CARLO DNA

Born on the racetrack, built for the road – it’s in the DNA of ŠKODA’s MONTE CARLO models: sporty lifestyle versions of various ŠKODA compact model series share this designation that the Czech car manufacturer introduced 86 years ago. To celebrate the ŠKODA POPULAR’s second place in the class up to 1,500 cm3 at the 1936 Monte Carlo Rally, the company released a

limited-edition series of 70 ŠKODA POPULAR MONTE CARLO vehicles at the time. The first double victory at the Monte Carlo Rally came in 1977 with the legendary ŠKODA 130 RS in the class up to 1,300 cm3. In the 1990s, the FAVORIT and the FELICIA also achieved double victories before the ŠKODA FABIA’s outstanding rally career began. Several podium finishes were followed by the ŠKODA FABIA SUPER 2000’s class victory at the 2013 Monte Carlo Rally. Its successor, the FABIA R5 (Rally2), won the WRC2 category in Monte Carlo in 2017 and 2018. The updated ŠKODA FABIA Rally2 evo repeated this double success in 2021 and 2022.

The new ŠKODA FABIA MONTE CARLO is the third production version of this model series to bear the sporty designation. In 2011, ŠKODA introduced this variant for compact series models with the second-generation FABIA, before the third FABIA generation followed suit in 2014. The

fourth-generation ŠKODA FABIA is the third model to join the Czech manufacturer’s portfolio of sporty MONTE CARLO lifestyle variants, alongside the ŠKODA SCALA and ŠKODA KAMIQ.

2028: The future remains green with Skoda

It is worth a look in the rearview mirror! Skoda became involved in the Tour de France in 2004. It was then that the red Škoda Superb appeared in the peloton and the name of the manufacturer became associated with the prize for the best young rider, the white jersey. In 2015, Škoda changed its colour to the green jersey for the points classification. This collaboration built on loyalty has constantly been nurtured by new perspectives and the next five seasons, for which Skoda has signed up will again, see it continue this culture of challenge. The partnership involves sponsoring the Green Jersey on the Tour de France and the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, but also La Vuelta, La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es, and provides overall support for all women’s races, namely Paris-Roubaix Femmes avec Zwift, La Flèche Wallonne Femmes and Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes.

Škoda Scala en Kamiq: uitgebreide update voor de succesvolle compacte modellen

Mladá Boleslav/Kortenberg, 1 augustus 2023 – Škoda Auto vernieuwt zijn compacte Škoda Scala en zijn stads-SUV Škoda Kamiq ingrijpend. Beide modellen bieden een zeer hoog niveau van actieve en passieve veiligheid, dankzij hun stijve koetswerken en een nu nog meer geavanceerde reeks rijhulpsystemen. De Scala en Kamiq, die zijn gebaseerd op hetzelfde MQB-A0-platform, kunnen rekenen op efficiënte, moderne TSI-motoren van de evo2-generatie, met vermogens die variëren van 70 kW (95 pk) tot 110 kW (150 pk). Met zijn verfijnde, scherp getekende lijnen oogt de Scala nog dynamischer, terwijl de aanpassingen aan het design van de Kamiq hem een robuustere SUV-uitstraling geven. Beide modellen zijn nu optioneel bestelbaar met ledmatrixkoplampen – een primeur voor deze modellen. Een groter aandeel gerecycleerde en natuurlijke materialen voor het exterieur en interieur staat garant voor meer duurzaamheid. Het gereorganiseerde productgamma voor beide modellen bestaat nu uit drie uitvoeringsniveaus met zes interieurvarianten naast optionele uitrustingspacks. Een Digital Display met een schermdiagonaal van 8 duim en een Škoda Infotainment-scherm van 8,25 duim zijn al standaard in alle modellen. Nieuwe Simply Clever-details ronden de opfrissingsoperatie af.
