The Skoda Fabia is not one of the most popular car sold in the Indian market. While the car performed quite good in the European market, it failed to impress a lot of people in India. The Czech carmaker is now working on an all-new fourth-generation model, which was recently spied testing in Europe. The car was available in India between 2008-2013.

Engine and Performance

The new Skoda Fabia is expected to be equipped with an array of TSI petrol engines, coupled to a multiple choice of transmissions. However, it is unlikely to feature a diesel powertrain or any form of electrification. The Skoda Rapid’s 1.0L turbocharged petrol engine may be re-used in the new car to keep the production costs low. More about When is the new Skoda Fabia coming to India below.

Design Changes

Spy shots of the test mule show that the new Fabia has taken design cues from the Skoda Scala, and the new Octavia. It gets sleeker headlamps upfront and slender-looking split taillights, with both expected to be full-LED units. It also seems to have grown in size, compared to the second and third-generation models. Skoda may launch the new generation Fabia in India only in 2022.

Although the interiors aren’t visible, we can expect the new Fabia to feature Skoda’s practical cabin layout with good quality materials and spot-on ergonomics.
