Skoda Fabia (Mk4 2026) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very roomy interior	Some weedy engine choices
Comfortable and easy to drive	So-so warranty offering
Good value for money	Sporty Fabia 130 isn't available with a manual gearbox

Quick Summary

The fourth-generation Skoda Fabia continues the brand's ethos of offering a bigger, roomier car than its rivals for a substantially lower price, without compromising on quality, technology, safety, or dynamics. Built on the versatile 'MQB-A0' platform shared with other VW Group superminis, it boasts exceptionally generous legroom and headroom, and a class-leading 380-litre boot, rivalling cars from the class above. Its cabin is noted for high quality and sophistication, and the driving experience is comfort-focused, soaking up bumps effectively while remaining quiet and easy to manoeuvre.

Power comes from a range of refined petrol engines that balance performance and economy, from 79bhp to 148bhp, with the new 174bhp Fabia 130 offering a sportier drive. The Fabia integrates much of the latest VW Group technology, with evolving trim levels (SE Edition, Design Edition, SE L Edition, Monte Carlo Edition) offering advanced safety features, infotainment screens up to 9.2-inches, and digital displays. Running costs are competitive, with good fuel economy across the range, making it an excellent value proposition for budget-conscious buyers.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking a spacious and practical supermini for families, and buyers prioritising comfort, quality, and technology without a premium price tag.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking aggressive handling or significant feedback from a standard supermini, or those who require a manual gearbox in the sportier Fabia 130.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Fabia if: You're on a budget, seeking a spacious and practical supermini for families, or prioritising comfort, quality, and technology without a premium price tag.

Consider alternatives if: You seek aggressive handling or significant feedback from a standard supermini, or require a manual gearbox in the sportier Fabia 130.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Fabia Mk4 stands out in the supermini segment by offering exceptional space, practicality, and high-quality finishes for its price point. While it prioritises comfort over outright driving dynamics, its refined engines, comprehensive technology, and competitive running costs make it a highly sensible and appealing choice. It successfully undercuts many rivals while delivering a 'big-car feel' that makes it a strong contender for budget-conscious families and commuters.
