Skoda India is not shy revealing some details on faux off-roader based on the Fabia, the Scout. It did not hesitate to put up a spec sheet alongside the display at its pavilion in the bygone Auto Expo. The Scout was seen testing in Pune by our pals at Motorbeam last year and we wonder if Skoda is considering to top-off the Fabia range in India with this model in 2012.
Volkswagen will not fold its hands and watch the Fabia Scout roll off the production line for long. It could prompt a Polo counterpart if the concept is well received. The bigger development is the 1.6-liter engine coming down to B-Segment models. Have the prayers of a VW Polo 1.6 TDI finally been answered?

After two launches in quick succession from VW, the sister concern Skoda is ready to create some waves itself. Recently, out of no where, we saw the spy pics of the Skoda Rapid being tested near Aurangabad and now MotorBeam has spotted a test mule of the Skoda Scout.
Yesterday, a reader from Kerala wrote to us saying “Skoda Fabia Scout is been testing in India. When I went to the Skoda showroom in Cxxxxxx they had unusual looking Fabia there with temporary-type number plates. My house is near the showroom, I went there to inquire about the mud flaps for my Fabia and unfortunately I forgot the cam. The Scout was full of dirt, maybe it was being driven hard all over the place.”
To put in simple words, a Fabia Scout is a normal Fabia with a rough road package. The car spotted had a 1.6L engine and did not have roof rails. Please note, this is not the estate version so don’t expect massive boot space.

I know what you are thinking. You feel the Skoda Fabia Scout above is nothing more than a regular Fabia with different bumpers, wheels, roof rails and plastic.
Yeah, you are right 
The Skoda Fabia Scout is a faux off-road version of the popular hatchback. Need more adrenaline? why not try the Skoda Fabia Sportline which already is on sale in Czech Republic, comes into India later in the year. Not interested, glance at the Skoda Fabia Sport, if you might.
The Skoda Fabia S2000 is the maximum level of madness you can arrive at. You’ll officially be categorized as a proper hooligan if you drove that thing on the road.
The Skoda Fabia hatchback Scout will prolly book a spot in one of the auto shows this year and should be in markets sooner than the Skoda Fabia vRS which is another hooligan in the making.
