The new Skoda Fabia has arrived to great acclaim, but does this 1.0-litre engine from the smaller Citigo meet the high standards set by the rest of the range? This 1.0-litre petrol engine isn't quite the cheapest way into the new Skoda Fabia, but it's not far off. The three-cylinder engine is identical to the higher powered version that features in the smaller Citigo and is mated to a five-speed manual gearbox.Even though the Fabia is larger than the Citigo, the engine is unchanged and only produces 74bhp and 70lb ft.It is also comes with fuel-saving technology such as stop-start, which means this car is 7.5mpg and 20g/km more efficient and cleaner resepctively than the equivalent 68bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine found in the outgoing Fabia.
