Top 3 Skoda Models You Can Find at Skoda Dealers in Sydney

Since 1895 when its production commenced in the Czech Republic, Skoda has earned a solid reputation as one of the Volkswagen Group's most competitive automotive brands in Europe. Whether you need a small Fabia hatch that packs clever specifications or a large Superb wagon that's competent and reliable, the award-winning Skoda bursts with a wide range of VW-based models to suit every budget and lifestyle. Here are the top 3 best Skoda models available at your nearest Skoda dealer in Sydney.

1. Skoda Fabia

Available in 3 hatchback and 3 wagon body styles, the 5-seat Skoda Fabia is the Czech brand's latest model to arrive in Australia. Renowned for its stylishly compact quality build and impeccable reliability, the new Fabia shares the same great platform with the Volkswagen Polo. It's offered in six variants, which include:

• Fabia Manual Wagon
• Fabia Auto Wagon
• Fabia Auto Monte Carlo Wagon
• Fabia Manual Hatch
• Fabia Auto Hatch
• Fabia Auto Monte Carlo Hatch

Now in its second generation in the local Australian market, the Fabia 70TSI starts at $17,790,- while the Fabia 81TSI Monte Carlo starts at $26,090. When you buy a Fabia, you're making a wise decision because even the base model with 1.0-litre engine and 5 SP manual transmission gives you 160 Nm max torque and 4.5L/100km fuel consumption. For excellent all-round performance, its top speed maxes out at 187 km/h, competing with Mazda2 and Renault Clio.

2. Skoda Karoq

The Skoda Karoq is a medium-sized SUV that's ideal for family adventures. First launched in 2018 as a single Karoq 110TSI, the SUV has been refreshed with a more refined engine, leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel, privacy glass silver roof rails, and more. Additionally, a meatier Karoq 140TSI (4x4) Sportline has joined the line-up. The entry-level 110TSI, which starts at $32,290, targets buyers looking for practicality and economy, especially in an urban environment.

The flagship Karoq 140TSI (4x4) Sportline that retails at $39,990 is an excellent choice for driving enthusiasts looking for a bit more thrill behind the wheel. But no matter the trim level you choose, the Karoq brings a lot of standard features. These include LED daytime running lights, fog lights, Virtual Cockpit digital driver display, and an 8.0-inch hi-res touchscreen with smartphone integration and Bluetooth connectivity. With all these basic highlights, it's almost impossible to reject this SUV.

3. Skoda Superb

The Skoda Superb is a medium-sized car that offers vast passenger and luggage space, as well as excellent fuel economy and performance. Available as a 4-door "liftback" sedan and a 5-door wagon, the Superb gets loads of standard features to ensure the best value for money. The entry-level FWD 162TSI sedan with a 2.0-litre petrol engine goes for $43,990, while the AWD 206TSI SportLine wagon with a turbocharged petrol engine asks for $61,6190.

Performance-wise, both engines generate 350Nm of torque. However, peak power kicks in at diverse revs. The lower-powered engine achieves maximum kilowatts at 6,200rpm and takes 7.1 seconds to sprint from 0-100km/h. On the contrary, the higher-powered engine revs even harder, with peak power kicking in at 6,500rpm. This also takes a brisk 5.8 seconds to go from 0-100km/h. Nonetheless, all Superb models are comfortable to ride in, thanks to their superior cushion and shoulder support.

All of the Skoda models offer premium ride handling to guarantee a pleasing driving experience. But if you have enough money to spend, go for the Superb 206TSI sedan. Aside from the more powerful petrol engine, this sedan also has excellent four-wheel-drive grip, supreme handling capabilities, and lots of equipment. Perhaps that's why it's a preferred car for transporting VIPs around the globe.

Your Skoda warranty agreement ensures that you will follow a routine service schedule and that you will service your vehicle at authorized Skoda dealers in Sydney.
