2021 Skoda Fabia Officially Revealed With More Of Everything​

The new, fourth generation of the Škoda Fabia is based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Transverse Toolkit MQB-A0, making it longer and wider than its predecessor.

As expected for a Škoda, it is bigger than its platform-sharing counterparts to enable a spacious interior and best-in-class practicality. At 4,108 mm (161.7 inches) long, the not-so-little hatch is now 111 mm (4.4 in) longer than before. Most of the stretch is found in the wheelbase, now 94 mm (3.7 in) longer than before to reach a generous 2,564 mm (101 in).

It remains a city-oriented car as before, but with the cargo capacity growing by 50 litres (1.76 cubic feet) Škoda is spicing things up with new Orange Sunset and Graphite Grey paints and up to 18-inch wheels. High-end versions of the Fabia will be offered with a contrasting Black Magic or Graphite Grey colour for the roof, side mirror caps, and the front grille frame.​

The new model depicts a range-topping Fabia with full-LED lights front and rear along with a panoramic glass roof. It also boasts a grille-mounted radar for the safety and assistance systems, plus sensors for Park Assist that works at up to 25 mph (40 km/h) and takes care of the steering.

The large, free-standing display dominates the aesthetic of the new Škoda Fabia’s interior. The Fabia finally gets the company's 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment up to 9.2 inches in size. The touchscreen enables the modern infotainment systems as well as many other vehicle functions to be controlled with ease. The design sketch also shows the customisable Virtual Cockpit, which is a key feature of larger Škoda models and is now making its debut as an option for the Fabia.

The interior has been completely redesigned and it too has a strong Scala (and Kamiq) inspiration. The Fabia finally gets the company's 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a touchscreen infotainment up to 9.2 inches in size.

The engine lineup includes the familiar suspects, kicking off with a naturally aspirated 1.0-liter gasoline engine with three cylinders. It's offered with either 65 or 80 horsepower, and in both cases, it develops 93 Newton-meters (69 pound-feet) of torque channeled to the wheels exclusively through a five-speed manual gearbox. This base Fabia takes its sweet time hitting 62 mph (100 km/h), taking 15.5 seconds with the lesser MPI engine before reaching 107 mph (172 km/h) and 15.1 seconds for the sprint en route to 111 mph (179 km/h) with the slightly more powerful engine.

Step up to the turbocharged 1.0-liter engine and power jumps to 95 hp and 129 lb-ft (175 Nm) while sticking with the five-speed manual. This setup is good for a sprint in 10.6 seconds and a maximum velocity of 121 mph (195 km/h). The beefier version with 110 hp and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) upgrades to a six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed DSG and covers the sprint in 9.7 seconds (9.5s with the automatic) before maxing out at 127 mph (205 km/h).

The flagship Skoda Fabia will see the return of a four-cylinder engine, a 1.5 TSI with 150 hp and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) as seen in the bigger Scala and Octavia. Offered only with the DSG, the bigger powertrain helps the stylish supermini complete the sprint in 7.9 seconds and reach a respectable 140 mph (225 km/h).
