Product Gallery
Product Overview
Skoda Fabia Mk4 is an entry-level subcompact hatchback in production from 2021. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.5 liters.
Compared to the Mk3 Fabia, the Mk4 uses further-downsized engines. While it may appear better-looking, the car remains poorly-engineered and poorly-built; further, it remains ugly.

Reviewer score 60%This is an unusually spacious car by the standards of the segment. The front berths feel expansive, and with plenty of adjustability in the driving position, the Fabia genuinely feels like something from the class above. The back bench remains supermini spec, albeit with more leg and head room than most. The 109bhp 1.0-litre TSI engine is less convincing.

Pros
- Comfortable to drive
- Lots of standard equipment
- Decent infotainment system
Cons
- Not the most practical
autocar[2]
Reviewer score 70%The Fabia sits on the MQB A0 platform, which also underpins the latest Audi A1 Sportback, Seat Ibiza and Volkswagen Polo. Not only is it stiffer and stronger than its predecessor, but it has also let Skoda make its baby even bigger, at just over four metres long and nearly 1.8 metres wide. It rides typically broken British asphalt well, the softish suspension keeping everything on an even keel with just the merest hint of relaxing float.

Pros
- Bigger and stronger than its predecessor
- Comfortable to drive
- Decent handling
Cons
- No manual gearbox
- Lack of refinement
autoexpress[3]
Reviewer score 78%The new Fabia sees significant gains in infotainment, driver-assistance tech and, perhaps importantly for its customer base, space and practicality. The car is 111mm longer than the old model, with 94mm more in the wheelbase, and it's a bit wider, too. Upmarket touches such as an optional glass panoramic roof make the cabin light and airy. While the handling is hardly sporty, everything tallies up to create a car that feels better.

Reviewer score 70%Cabin is smart and functional, without ever feeling properly plush. Entry-level cars will stick with conventional dials but many Fabias will get a 10.25-inch digital instrument panel. The core of the UK range will have an eight-inch infotainment system. There are plenty of big-car features on offer, depending on trim level and how much you're prepared to spend on options.
