Škoda offers first glimpse of new Fabia

PRAGUE: Škoda has released the first preview of the fourth-generation Fabia.

The silhouette image teases the new proportions of the small car, which is based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Transverse Toolkit MQB-A0 for the first time.

This platform enhances the interior space and supports the use of state-of-the-art assistance systems and connectivity features. The drivetrain is powered by the latest generation of petrol engines, making the new Fabia ideal for young families or as a second car.

The world premiere of the new Fabia is planned for spring 2021.

With the changeover to the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Transverse Toolkit MQB-A0, the Fabia is larger than its predecessor in all dimensions.

For example, the boot volume, which was already one of the Fabia’s highlights, has grown by a further 50-litres. Thanks to an even more rigid body structure, the MQB-A0 also brings further improvements in passive safety as well as the option of installing numerous modern assistance systems, which were previously only available in higher vehicle classes.

Škoda has opted for state-of-the-art petrol engines for the fourth-generation Fabia. All the engines come from the Volkswagen Group’s EVO engine generation and combine high efficiency with low emissions.

The new front-wheel drive Fabia comes with either a manual gearbox or automatic 7-speed DSG, making the small car equipped for journeys in the city as well as for long distances.
