Skoda Fabia Scout
A rugged, go-anywhere hatchback sounds ideal for India and that’s
exactly what the Fabia Scout is. The Scout is in essence a Fabia that
uses taller springs to give it more ground clearance. There is no 4x4
system, so off-road ability will be limited to rutted paths at best. The
Indian car we have spied testing at Aurangabad will feature gravel and
scratch-resistant cladding on the lower portion of the doors, wheel
arches and rear bumper. A scruff plate at the rear will also
differentiate the Scout from the standard Fabia, though frontal styling
will remain identical.
Engines will be shared with the Fabia. The Scout will be a niche
product but if priced well could win itself a sizeable fan following.
