WITH an introductory price cut of £3,715 Skoda's new Fabia Reaction could be in big demand in the run-up to the September plate change.

Priced at £9,690 while stocks last, this new variant would normally sell at £13,405 and is one of two new models joining the Fabia range ready for the 63-plate rush.

Fitted with a 1.2 12V 69PS engine, the Reaction hatchback is finished in Meteor Gray paintwork and comes with air-conditioning and a three-spoke leather steering wheel plus distinctive exterior features including 16-inch black alloys, rear spoiler, black detailing on the roof, mirrors and grille, and tinted glass.

Also new to the Fabia range is the Monte Carlo TECH Estate which follows on from the popular hatch version launched earlier this year.

Available with a choice of either 1.2 TSI 105PS petrol or 1.6 TDI CR 105PS diesel engines, the TECH is based on the Monte Carlo model, but adds Amundsen sat-nav and Bluetooth connectivity as standard. Gloss black wheel arch trims and grille complete the package.

Prices start at £12,575 for the petrol-engined model with the diesel costing from £13,545.
