Powering the second generation Greenline is a new three-cylinder turbocharged 1.2 TDI CR 75bhp DPF common rail (high-pressure direct injection) engine, capable of developing 75 bhp and delivering 83.1 mpg (combined cycle) and CO2 emissions of only 89g/km. What is really important is that this model is exempt from road tax.
The new engine complies with the EU 5 emission standard that, for diesel engines, has stricter regulations for nitrogen oxides and solid particles. The gear ratios of the car's five-speed transmission are identical to those of the ordinary Fabia.
Having the ability to cover 932 miles on a single 45 litre fuel tank, the Skoda Fabia Greenline II Estate comes complete with £800 of extra standard equipment over the model which it replaces, including cruise control, ESP, stop-start function, tire pressure monitor (TPM) and an alarm with tilt-sensor.
As you know by now, the stop-start function operates automatically, turning the engine off when the driver stops the vehicle, engages neutral and releases the clutch. The engine restarts when the driver has engaged the clutch.
Other technologies introduced on the Greenline II that improve fuel economy are energy recuperation, which uses the vehicles kinetic energy for battery recharging, a gear recommendation system, which helps the driver make optimum use of the engine’s potential, a lowered and aerodynamically-covered chassis and low-rolling resistance tires.
