Skoda has announced eco-friendly GreenLine versions of its recently updated Fabia Estate and Roomster.

Powering the latest models is a new, 1.2-litre three-cylinder turbodiesel engine. It develops 75bhp. Other features include stop-start technology, energy recuperation and gear recommendation.

Further economy benefits come from improved aerodynamics and low rolling resistance tyres. The result is 83.1mpg and 89g/km for the Fabia Estate, while the Roomster manages 67.3mpg and 109g/km. Those economy figures are obtained without resorting to ultra-high gearing, so there should be no loss of performancecompared with similar, non-GreenLine models.

Prices and UK launch dates for the Fabia Estate GreenLine II and Roomster GreenLine II will be announced late
