ŠKODA has confirmed prices and specifications for the new Fabia Estate ahead of its debut in spring 2015. Available in three trim grades: S, SE and SE-L, the third-generation Fabia Estate is priced from just £12,460 and offers a significant specification boost over the outgoing model.
Milton Keynes, 8th December 2014 – Entry-level S models feature six airbags, DAB digital radio, Bluetooth, Stop/Start and electric front windows as standard, while SE models (from £13,905 OTR) add manual air-conditioning, alloy wheels, Front assist, Arkamys surround sound package and Bolero radio with telephone control, Mirror Link, USB and SD card connections. SE models also include a three-spoke leather steering wheel, height adjustable driver and passenger seat, Maxi-DOT trip computer and black roof rails. Range-topping Elegance models (from £14,755 OTR) add even more features including, 16-inch alloy wheels, climate control air-conditioning, Light assistant, cruise control and KESSY – keyless entry system.

In addition to its generous equipment levels, the new Fabia features a striking new look, sector-best practicality, greater efficiency and a host of Simply Clever innovations. Utilising advanced MQB platform architecture, the new Fabia Estate performs the impossible by being larger and stronger than its best-selling predecessor, yet tipping the scales at up to 65kg less. This significant reduction, along with the introduction of cleaner EU6-compliant engines makes the new Fabia up to 17 per cent more efficient.

The Fabia Estate’s low running costs and reduced CO2 outputs are certain to appeal to fleet buyers. BiK rates start from just 14% with seven of the 17-strong range qualifying for zero rate road tax. The 1.2 TSI 90PS engine is expected to be the most popular with UK buyers.

Bigger, better and more practical
Unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in September, the new Fabia Estate builds on the strengths of its predecessor. Its boot volume of 530 litres (with the seats up) makes it the most spacious in the sector, while its maximum load volume of 1,395 litres puts rivals in the sectors above to shame.  

And it’s not just sheer volume that makes the new Fabia Estate such a practical proposition. The 960mm loading floor is now wider than in the previous model while the tailgate opens to 1,900 mm and is 1,028 mm wide. The loading sill is only 611mm high, making loading the car up easy. The passenger area is also wider (+21 mm) and longer (by +8mm), and although the car is now slightly lower, there’s more headroom for the driver and front seat passengers.

The Estate has been a key part of the Fabia range since 2000 and accounts for 25% of Fabia sales in the UK. More than 1.1 million examples have been sold worldwide, confirming its appeal with buyers looking to combine exceptional load space with a compact frame and affordable price.

Alasdair Stewart, Brand Director for ŠKODA UK said: “The Fabia Estate has always represented terrific value for money and I’m delighted that we’re able to offer even more with the third-generation model. The Estate has always been key member of the Fabia family and I look forward to its arrival next year.”

Anti-freeze should be added to your vehicle's cooling system according to the manufacturer's specification.

If the cooling system warning light is illuminated, switch off the engine immediately. Once the engine has reached a safe temperature, check how much coolant there is in the reservoir. If it's below the minimum level you'll need to top it up. Always do so with the correct anti-freeze solution as per manufacturing specification. Never top up with just water – this will reduce the system's effectiveness.

More detailed information can be found in the owner's manual if you’re still unsure. Alternatively, you could call ŠKODA Roadside Assistance on 0800 526 625 for advice, or contact your local ŠKODA retailer.
