Fabia has never been a star of the Skoda range, but for three generations the small-class model has done its job. In 2019 Fabia was in second place in the Skoda sales rankings with 172,800 units after Octavia (363,700 units). Fabia didn't have the aura of Octavia, which was the first completely new Skoda model developed after VW took over the brand, but historically speaking, a small-class model existed in the Skoda range and before the VW era. The fourth-generation Skoda Fabia will be launched in 2021.
The 2021 Fabia will be built on the same MQB A0 platform used for VW Polo, T-Cross, Audi A1 and Seat Ibiza. Skoda promises it will be a more sophisticated and desirable car, but it will keep the sober design line.
The adoption of the platform MQB A0 with a wider track and the wheelbase extended by 9 cm, from 2.47 to 2.56 meters, contributes to a more imposing presence on the street.
