SKODAFabia 2018 - 2021

　　The small-class vehicle from the Czech car-maker was the Fabia. In 2015 it already reached its third generation and, in 2018, it received a facelift.

　　The European small-class segment was important and the Volkswagen group struggled to get the biggest part of it. In order to do that, it developed a platform on which most of the brand inside the group built a vehicle. The Audi A1, the SEAT Ibiza, the Skoda Fabia, or the Volkswagen Polo were built on the same PQ26 platform. But each brand had its design language.

　　Skoda chose the cubist trend of design, which was the avant-garde art movement in Western Europe, at the beginning of the 20th Century, and there were some Czech artists in that as well. That's why Skoda chose its design language. The angular headlights and the sharp edges along the bodywork were a clear sign of that. A full-LED headlights feature was added to the options list.

　　Inside, the cubist exterior was replaced by a minimalist trend, especially on the base trim levels. But the options list was long and depending on the trim level the car could have been fitted with an infotainment unit and a 6.5” display on the center stack.

　　Under the hood, there was only one engine available but offered with or without a turbocharger. The standard transmission was a 5-speed manual for the versions under 100 hp and a 6-speed manual for the 110 hp version. A 7-speed DSG (dual-clutch) automatic transmission was offered for the latter.
