Monte Carlo at Škoda means the sporty look of compact cars. It does not change the technical properties and is always available with a common range of motorization. It will be no different with the new Fabia.

Black body elements are a typical change. Not only is the radiator grille frame and spoiler on the specific front bumper painted black, but also the exterior mirror covers, side sill covers and rear bumper diffuser.
