A SALOON version of the Skoda Fabia is being shown for the first time at Geneva, and follows the recently-launched Fabia estate. The saloon is as long as the estate and has more luggage space than the hatchback.

The car is expected to go on sale in the UK in late summer or early autumn and prices will be released closer to launch. A four-wheel drive version of the Octavia hatchback is also on display at the Geneva Motor Show, although there is no date yet for a UK launch.
