1,280 Used Skoda Fabia cars for sale

Sharing a platform with the Skoda Scala, the fourth-generation Fabia became the largest to date, while still being considered a supermini. Compared to the previous version, this Fabia's wheelbase grew by 9cm, which means that there's more interior space. However, Skoda did discontinue the five-door estate from the options, leaving only the hatchback.

The high-end interior rivalled those of Volkswagen and Audi with plenty of space for relaxation. Skoda also released some of the 'Simply Clever' touches that make life easier, such as an umbrella in the driver's door, a centre partition between the passenger and driver, and a USB in the roof lining for powering dashcams. Powertrain options were upgraded for the new generation, adding more power and efficiency to some models.

The most significant change in engineering was that Skoda was able to cut 65kg of weight from the Fabia's design, making it more efficient overall. While the exterior styling didn't change much from the previous generation, this Fabia had much more equipment and technology included. Even the base model now included six airbags, Bluetooth, DAB digital radio and engine stop-start.

For a short time, Skoda discontinued all diesel models, leaving only petrol motors to choose from. There was also a 2021 update that changed the look of the steering wheel.

At the start of the second generation, Skoda discontinued the four-door saloon bodystyle, leaving just the estate and hatchback models. However, Skoda did release a rugged Scout trim that gave the Fabia more appeal. The lineup also grew longer and taller than the previous generation, offering more luggage and passenger space.

Skoda offered many engine options, including a vRS hot hatch that provided sportier handling. For those looking for efficiency, Skoda had the Greenline II with a rating of up to 83.1mpg and minimal running costs.
