Last week, Skoda Auto India launched the Fabia Scout with new looks and features. The Fabia Scout targets buyers who look for distinctive looks and a rugged yet urban appeal. Here we take a look at its variants and price across five major Indian cities.
The Fabia Scout looks like a soft roader, thanks to its peripheral protective cladding. The Fabia Scout also comes with a diffuser, projector headlamps, front and rear door sill trims and stainless steel pedals. The add-ons makes the Fabia Scout stand out in terms of looks but do not seem very value for money for the practical buyer.
