How It Looks - Exterior
The Skoda Fabia hatchback's design is both elegant and solid looking. The corporate rectangular chrome grille with its trapezoidal headlights are immediately recognisable as a Skoda product. The Fabia features large colour-coded front and rear bumpers which are designed to withstand impacts of up to five mph and the Comfort, Elegance and vRS models incorporate side strips to protect the bodywork from parking dents. Our test car featured wheel covers as standard but a range of optional alloy wheels are available.
