Skoda Fabia (2021-present) 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	Monte Carlo feels no more exciting than any other Fabia

Quick Summary

The fourth-generation Skoda Fabia (2021-present) continues the brand's tradition of offering a bigger-than-average car for a lower price, without compromising quality or technology. Built on the VW Group’s MQB-A0 platform, it's significantly larger and roomier than its predecessors, providing exceptional legroom and headroom. Its 380-litre boot capacity rivals cars from the class above, making it highly practical for a supermini.

The Fabia prioritises comfort, offering a smooth and quiet ride that excels at soaking up road imperfections. While not the most dynamic, its light and responsive steering makes it easy to drive. Powered by efficient turbocharged petrol engines, it balances performance and economy well, with most engines achieving around 56.5mpg. The cabin boasts high quality and sophistication, and modern tech features are available across trims, making it a strong value proposition in the supermini segment.

Best for: Drivers seeking a spacious and practical supermini, those prioritising comfort and ease of driving, and buyers looking for excellent value for money in a new car.

Not ideal for: Buyers wanting a truly exciting or sporty driving experience (even the Monte Carlo trim), or those who need a top-tier warranty offering.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Fabia if: You're seeking a spacious and practical supermini, prioritise comfort and ease of driving, or are looking for excellent value for money.

Consider alternatives if: You want a truly exciting or sporty driving experience (even the Monte Carlo trim), or require a top-tier warranty offering.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Fabia (2021-present) is a formidable contender in the supermini market, delivering on Skoda's core philosophy of providing a larger, more practical car at a more affordable price point. It excels in interior space and boot capacity, often outclassing rivals and even some cars from the segment above. While it focuses on comfort and refinement over outright driving thrills, its high-quality cabin, modern technology, and efficient engines make it a highly sensible and appealing choice.
