New Monte Carlo model to join the Fabia range

Skoda has announced the latest addition to the Fabia family, the all new Fabia Monte Carlo, which boasts a sporty interior and enhanced exterior body styling.

This console features a Bolero infotainment system with 6.5-inch colour touchscreen, DAB radio, Bluetooth and SmartLink, air conditioning, Front Assist emergency braking system, remote locking and alarm.
