Expected in September 2011
Estimated price: Rs 8-10 lakhs
At the Skoda Fabia launch, Mr. Thomas Kuehl had made the announcement that Skoda has increased the local content on the Fabia to a total of 40 % and now the company aims to make a completely localized car. The company has began work on it and they are designing a car specifically for the Indian car market.
For the time being, the code name for the new sedan is SK215. The SK215 will be based on the Fabia platform and will be competition to the Volkswagen Vento, its distinct cousin, the Honda City, the Fiat Linea and the Hyundai Verna. Our sources confirm that this car will be launched somewhere around September-October 2011.
We believe the SK215 will get the 1.6-litre petrol mill from the Volkswagen engine stable, and probably even the 1.6-litre TD CR engine recently introduced on the VW Vento. There have been rumors about a new Skoda Octavia being designed for the Indian car market. It isnt the Octavia, its this all new sedan which is being designed for India. Watch out this space.
Specs (Speculated)
Engine: 1.6-litre petrol and diesel
