It is not the first time I say now, and for a time, while a majority of Spaniards are still going through a delicate economic situation, with less money to spend, we need cars that offer a lot for little. Ie cars that are practical and functional, with reasonable quality, nice looking, with powerful engines and a very reasonable price. The Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 is one of these cars.
Keep in mind that the Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 is a family of B segment, not far from what could be a compact C-segment has a limited size, measuring about 4.26 m long, and yet has a huge trunk given its size, nothing more and nothing less than 530 liters.
Record, to be fair, the Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 is not the only relative of segment B which can be bought in Spain. Other features include the SEAT Ibiza ST 2012, which has a load capacity of 430 liters, or IV Renault Clio Sport Tourer, the luggage compartment is 443 liters. Although the external dimensions are very similar across the Fabia beats them by far in trunk volume.

Škoda Fabia Combi 2015: a very correct car
Not much you can say in its design, which we have already told you no. A slightly outwardly angled square perceived car, with some details and folds in the sheet resembling a carved glass, such as rear lights. Rather renews the image of the previous generation, more rounded.
Nor is perceived too long. It measures about 27 longer than the five-door hatchback version cm. Nor has grown compared to the previous generation Škoda Fabia Combi at length it is only a centimeter longer. Yes 9 cm width has gained noticeable.
Aesthetically highlights the contrast of certain elements in black, like the grille, lower grille, headlights and bottom of window frames. Paint colors like white, red or lime green and electric blue fit too well.

The cabin enjoys a very reasonable size car space. In truth must think that we are talking about a car of 3.99 meters long (the length of the normal Fabia), which stretches a little further back for more trunk. The space in the front seats is quite generous, also in headroom to the roof.
The seats offer just right lateral support, and good lumbar support, neither too hard nor too soft. The sidewalk instead found something harder.
The space in the rear seats is a fair bit of leg, but within half of this type of car. There are no problems in height. I had the feeling that the respado rear seat was a little vertical, but is merely a matter of taste and appreciation. The support also seemed somewhat harder than the front seats.

Very good finish to be a utility
The atmosphere inside is nice and cozy. Visually a good quality finish and good fits perceived, above average and very close to the Volkswagen Polo. Overall the interior is black, but you can choose other color combinations on the upholstery and some elements of the doors, center console and dashboard.
One of the two units of the Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 we drove had the panoramic glass roof option, which can not be opened, but covering both the front and the back with no beam between the pillars b, leaving a glazed surface very large and very pleasant to enjoy looking at the sky, while the cabin win lots of light.
The dash is hard plastic, yet the texture and visual aspect they have achieved makes it seem to be quilted and has very good. The two units we tested had the same interior finish with the front dashboard with plastic finish that imitated brushed aluminum, discrete satin sheen, which I think fits really well (but can I be painted in red, black, white etc., for whom they prefer).
There was little in glossy black plastic, and some details, such as the perimeter of the air vents, the edge of the fields box or knobs to open the doors, had a bright chrome trim.

A porter to carry around
In the center of the dashboard is a touch screen infotainment system. This can be used for GPS navigator our smartphone connected by USB to the car, and replicating the screen by MirrorLink, and a little later be offered as an integrated option (conventional) GPS navigator to whoever does not depend on the phone.
Definitely, what stands out the new Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 is its trunk. It is very large and very capable. The opening left by the door is very large, and this rises sharply, so there is no risk of head banging. Also has clever solutions that simply says these Skoda, much space to organize better: some boxes on both sides, a semi-circular part for gripping bottles, networks, ... portabicis
They are 530 liters of luggage to use as each person wants. They are 200 liters more than the Škoda Fabia 2015, which also wrong to boot, then 330 liters for a car of 3.99 m is fine.
The luggage compartment cover is flexibe, roller and detachable rear seats fold down, so no cover and no seats, it still has more cargo space. By folding the rear seat backrests have a little step, but you can save with the double bottom placing it in the top position.
Indeed, under the trunk floor will spare wheel really, with steel rim but of the same dimension that riding the car, and there is also a fairly large hole to take a few more things, such as triangles, fire extinguisher, kit, tools ... is bigger than it looks.

At the wheel, ¿diesel or gasoline?
We tested two different engines in the new Škoda Fabia Combi 2015: first gasoline engine 1.2 TSI 110 hp (81 kW) and 175 Nm of torque, an engine four-cylinder, turbocharged, direct injection, and then the engine diesel 1.4 TDI 90 hp (66 kW) and 230 Nm of torque, engine three-cylinder, direct injection turbo also.
If you know the car inside the new Fabia Combi have found it a very correct car, driving can not say anything else, it is confirmed as a very correct car. Yes, at least the versions that we tested, who want a sporty driving, not going to find (if later comes an RS version, then things can change).
It's a car where comfort and soft feel. To highlight the great balance that has the adjustment of the suspension, it is very comfortable with throwing soft filtering bumps well fit, however with normal driving also had the feeling that the body sway too cornering. The car is stable and is very easy to drive. Also thanks to parking sensors front and rear distance.

What convinced me was less direction. The steering wheel is comfortable to hold, with a soft leather steering is soft, but not exceed, the car reacts quite fast turning but transmits very little, and leaves one feeling a somewhat unreal.
Otherwise the feel of the pedals is correct, with a soft clutch and brake correctly, and a change that is also soft and lets switch gears fast enough, though perhaps it may seem that the Motherboard Analyzer (matter of taste is a bit low ). About the clutch pedal I must say that I felt it was a little more to the right than on other models.
The aerodynamic noise level is not very high, nor the tread, roughly in the middle of the car segment B. However the noise from the engine is quite different depending on the engine bearing the car.

Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 petrol: very quiet
The gasoline engine 110 hp 1.2 TSI we liked. It is a very quiet engine and acceleration generates a slightly serious and discreet but very muffled noise. Does not transmit vibration inside. It is very smooth and linear, and also responds quite well from low revs, from the 1,500 laps, improving from 1,800 to 2,000. In sixth at 120 km / h the engine is spinning at 2,500 rpm.
It has good acceleration of 0-100 km / h in 9.6 seconds, and is very pleasant to drive, because it requires no change gear very often. It is mated to a manual six-speed gearbox works well. Optionally can be ordered with automatic transmission seven-speed DSG.
Homologa a combined consumption of 4.8 l / 100 km. During the test, with roads of all kinds, some city and highway, but mostly secondary road, and normal driving, the average fuel consumption in the onboard computer moved between 5.9 and 6.7 l / 100 km .

Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 diesel: rumoroso
The 1.4 TDI diesel engine 90 hp not doing anything wrong, but did not like so much. The problem is that it is a rather rougher and coarser than the gasoline engine, and as more refined diesel engines. I would say that is three cylinders not help standing out well in comparison with the gasoline engine. It is quite noticeable rumoroso and get some vibrations at the wheel (not excessive but notice a little).
The other drawback (lowest) to get used to is that the clutch is more abrupt. Acts near the end of his foot off the pedal, and hit enter. Although it may seem strange, it is far easier than diesel than gasoline stalling. At least the stop-start system acts very quickly, and just stepping back and releasing the clutch to start in an instant and almost without anyone noticing.
Except this is an engine that works well, although less accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 11.3 seconds, in normal use, and only two people in the car without luggage, not too noticeable because it is compensated enough with the increased torque (60 Nm more). Unlike the petrol manual gearbox is five speeds, but also threw the sixth greatly missed. Optionally it can also be ordered with DSG.

Who requires diesel, and want more horsepower and torque Not to be outdone by car occupied by four people and the loaded trunk, and face such a mountain highway at a rapid pace, can also choose the diesel engine 105 hp and 250 nm of torque, which is also the three-cylinder engine 1.4.
Consumption approved in combined cycle Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 with this engine is 3.6 l / 100 km. During testing on all types of roads, but again also more minor road, and normal driving, according to the onboard computer moving average consumption between 4.7 and 5.5 l / 100 km.
This time, unless you go for many miles by road and highway, it seems more advisable gasoline engine.
On prices and availability: the Škoda Fabia Combi 2015 will come a bit later than the short Fabia. The Škoda Fabia should begin shipping in February, and the Combi in April. Although there is no definitive prices, we have been told that it is likely that the familiar body comes to cost about 800 euros, equal equipment and motor. Knowing Škoda, which usually has good prices, this car seems very interesting.
