Most of the details about the new Fabia has also been released. The fourth generation Skoda Fabia will be bigger, bolder and more aggressive than its previous model.
The new-gen Skoda Fabia will be based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Transverse Toollit MQB-AO platform, which also underpins the Kamiq crossover.

The new Fabia will come with full LED lighting system, featuring sharp-looking full LED headlamps with integrated L-shaped LED DRLs and LED tail-lamps with Skoda’s familiar crystalline elements. The hatchback will get the large signature butterfly grille with chrome outline.
The cabin of the new-gen Skoda Fabia will have simple and clutter-free layout. It will get a large free-standing touchscreen infotainment system, which is sourced from the Kamiq crossover. The hatchback will also get the customisable virtual cockpit, multi-functional steering wheel, coloured highlights on dash, central console and door panels, automatic AC, etc.
It will feature a 1.0L 3-cylinder NA petrol engine that offers two states of tune – 64bhp/95Nm and 70bhp/95Nm. The turbocharged 1.0L engine is also tuned in two different states – 94bhp/175Nm and 108bhp/200Nm.
