The car, which is likely to hit the streets by the end of first quarter of the year 2000, would be introduced initially in a Sedan version, Skoda Auto's director Indian operations Imran Hassen said here.

The car would sport both petrol and diesel engines. "The diesel option would be powered by a 1900cc turbo-diesel engine. However, the power train for the petrol-driven model is yet to be finalised. It would sport either a 1600cc or bigger engine. Later we might also look for a smaller engine on the car."
