Following the recent modifications to Volkswagen's Polo and SEAT's equivalent Ibiza, it is now Skoda's turn to revise the Fabia. While its sister models received a mid-cycle refresh, the Czech supermini is moving to a new generation, bringing the small hatchback in line with its MQB A0 siblings.

 

Design

The Fabia Mk4 is a significant improvement over its predecessor in every way. It is larger than its platform-sharing counterparts, as expected for a Skoda, allowing for a spacious interior and best-in-class practicality. The not-so-small hatch is now 111 mm (4.4 in) longer than before, measuring 4,108 mm (161.7 in). The majority of the length is found in the wheelbase, which is now 94 inches.

The not-so-small hatch is now 111 mm (4.4 in) longer than before, measuring 4,108 mm (161.7 in). The majority of the lengthening is in the wheelbase, which is now 94 mm (3.7 in) longer than before to reach a generous 2,564 mm (101 in).

The Fabia is still a city car, but with a cargo capacity that has increased by 50 liters (1.76 cubic feet) to a VW Golf Mk8-matching 380 liters (13.4 cu ft), it is now large enough for a weekend getaway. When the rear bench is folded, the total volume increases to 1,190 liters (42 cu ft). The all-new body is also much sleeker than before, with the drag coefficient dropping from 0.32 to a segment-leading 0.28, according to Skoda, to improve fuel efficiency.

Long before today's unveiling, numerous spy shots had painted an accurate picture of what to expect from the exterior design. The mini-Scala vibe is unsurprising, but Skoda is spicing things up with new Orange Sunset and Graphite Grey paints and up to 18-inch wheels. High-end Fabia models will be available with contrasting Black Magic or Graphite Grey roof, side mirror caps, and front grille frame colors.

The adjacent gallery depicts a range-topping Fabia with full-LED lights front and rear, as expected from press images released on the launch of a new model.

It also has a grille-mounted radar for safety and assistance systems, as well as sensors for Park Assist, which works at up to 25 mph (40 km/h) and handles steering.

Interior

The interior has been completely redesigned, and it, too, is heavily influenced by Scala (and Kamiq). Some would argue that it also bears a striking resemblance to the Ibiza's cabin post-facelift, right down to the circular air vents introduced by SEAT for the supermini's mid-cycle refresh. The Fabia finally gets the company's 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster and a 9.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system.

Other first-time features in the Fabia include dual-zone climate control, a heated steering wheel, a heated windshield, LED ambient lighting, and rear air vents. In the back, there's also a central armrest, which is uncommon in Europe's competitive B hatchback segment. Switching to VW Group's most recent underpinnings has resulted in superficial changes, including improvements that are not visible to the naked eye. We are specifically referring to a quieter cabin as a result of aeroacoustic simulations used to detect and eliminate noise sources.

Engine

The engine lineup includes the usual suspects, beginning with a naturally aspirated 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine. It comes with either 65 or 80 horsepower and 93 Newton-meters (69 pound-feet) of torque, which is channeled to the wheels solely through a five-speed manual gearbox. This base Fabia takes its time reaching 62 mph (100 km/h), taking 15.5 seconds with the less powerful MPI engine before reaching 107 mph (172 km/h) and 15.1 seconds with the slightly more powerful engine before reaching 111 mph (179 km/h).

With the five-speed manual and the turbocharged 1.0-liter engine, power rises to 95 hp and 129 lb-ft (175 Nm). This setup is capable of a 10.6-second sprint and a top speed of 121 mph (195 km/h). The beefier version with 110 hp and 148 lb-ft (200 Nm) gains a six-speed manual or an optional seven-speed DSG and accelerates to 127 mph (205 km/h) in 9.7 seconds (9.5 seconds with the automatic).

The flagship Skoda Fabia will get a four-cylinder engine, a 1.5 TSI with 150 hp and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) from the Scala and Octavia. 

The larger powertrain, available only with the DSG, helps the stylish supermini complete the sprint in 7.9 seconds and reach a respectable 140 mph (225 km/h).

It wouldn't be a Skoda without a plethora of Simply Clever features, and the Fabia has 43 of them. Five of them make their debut on a Mladá Boleslav vehicle: a removable cup holder between the front seats, a credit card clip in the center console, a storage container for rear passengers on the transmission tunnel, a flexible trunk compartment, and a sunshade for the panoramic roof.

The Fabia, Skoda's second best-selling vehicle after the Octavia, has sold over 4.5 million units since its introduction in 1999. The Mk4 will initially be available only as a hatchback, but a wagon version will be available in 2023. Meanwhile, the current Fabia Mk3 wagon will continue to be sold.

 ŠKODA ENYAQ: This is the name of ŠKODA’s first electric SUV based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) to be launched in series production. With its first all-electric SUV, ŠKODA is establishing a new nomenclature that combines the ‘E’ in reference to electromobility with the ‘Q’ that characterizes the final letter of ŠKODA’s successful SUV family. With the new SKODA ENYAQ, the Czech car manufacturer is taking another leap into the new era of electromobility in 2020.

The name of the new ŠKODA ENYAQ is derived from the Irish name ‘enya’, meaning ‘source of life’. Enya itself comes from the Irish Gaelic word ‘Eithne’, meaning ‘essence’, ‘spirit’ or ‘principle’. These different meanings allow different perspectives on the name of ŠKODA’s new SUV. The ‘source of life’ symbolizes the car manufacturer’s entry into the new era of electromobility and is in line with the ŠKODA brand claim ‘Driven by inventiveness – clever ideas since 1895’. It represents a new beginning, which goes hand in hand with the temperament of the ŠKODA ENYAQ and the ŠKODA engineers’ passion and innovative strength for the new electric SUV. ‘Enya’ is authentic, full of character and lively, easy to pronounce and remember and fits perfectly with the dawn of a new era in the company’s 125-year history.

SKODA ENYAQ follows ŠKODA’s well-known SUV nomenclature

Like the names of ŠKODA’s successful SUV models KODIAQ, KAROQ and KAMIQ, which are derived from the language of the Inuit people living in northern Canada and Greenland, ŠKODA combines the future all-electric vehicles based on the MEB with the Irish language in a legendary northern region. The ‘E’ at the beginning of the name stands for electromobility; the ‘Q’ at the end creates a clear connection to the virtues of an SUV. The ŠKODA ENYAQ is the Czech brand’s first series-production vehicle based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) and the next of the series of more than ten electric models that will be launched under the ŠKODA iV sub-brand by the end of 2022. By 2025, ŠKODA expects all-electric vehicles and models with plug-in hybrid drives to account for 25% of sales. By 2021, the car manufacturer will have invested two billion euros in the development of electric models and a holistic, interconnected ecosystem for modern and environmentally friendly mobility solutions.

The Skoda Kushaq is one of the Czech automaker's most important models. It was recently unveiled in its entirety and will be available in India soon. The car has now been spotted completely unmasked on Indian roads.

Exterior

One thing is clear from the photos: the Kushaq has a fantastic road presence. The Skoda Kushaq measures 4,225mm in length, 1,760mm in width, and 1,612mm in height. The SUV also has a 188mm ground clearance and a 2,651mm wheelbase. The boot space of the Kushaq is 385 liters, but it can be increased to 1,405 liters by folding the seats.

The front end features Skoda's signature muscular butterfly grille with vertical slats and a sharply cut, sleek LED projector headlamp setup with LED DRLs. Trapezoidal LED fog lamps are used under the headlamps, as well as a sculpted bumper with creases, wide air intakes, flared wheel arches, slim door handles, and a character line that runs the length of the car. The lower half is dominated by an aggressive mesh grille, which also serves as a cover for the fog lamps. The Kushaq's SUV appeal is enhanced by a silver skid plate with three scoops and a heavily sculpted bonnet.

The Skoda Kushaq's rear end is chiseled, with L-shaped taillights similar to those seen on the Vision IN Concept, a rear-mounted spoiler placed above the tailgate, a well-defined tailgate with SKODA lettering, and a chrome insert on the rear bumper. Roof rails and stylish 17-inch alloy wheels complement the overall design of this compact SUV. The entry-level Active trim will have 16-inch steel wheels, while the mid-level Ambition trim will have 16-inch alloy wheels. The top-of-the-line Style variant, on the other hand, will come with larger 17-inch alloy wheels and roof rails.

Interior

When it comes to the interior, the Kushaq's dashboard is layered with a thin chrome bar separating the top from the bottom, creating a dual-tone interior style. The Skoda Kushaq's interior is straightforward, with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system (seven-inch screen on lower trims) and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay taking center stage. The device, like its competitors, includes the MySkoda Connect series of connected-car applications such as e-call and vehicle diagnostics.

Among the other features of the mid-size SUV are automatic climate control, an all-digital instrument panel, a two-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a panoramic sunroof, ventilated front seats, ambient lighting, a tablet pocket, tweeters, and subwoofers. The dashboard layout is similar to that of its relative, the Volkswagen Taigun, and the central console appears to be identical. The Kushaq comes standard with up to six airbags, ABS with EBD, electronic stability control (optional on all trims), hill-hold control, automatic headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, tire pressure monitoring, a multi-collision braking system, and a rear-view camera.

It will be based on the MQB-A0-IN model, which is unique to India.
