THIS is Skoda’s new Fabia supermini which is due to go on sale here in May. Featuring a new look first modelled on the Roomster model, the Fabia is larger than before.

Seven engines – four petrol and three turbodiesels – will be offered, as will the option of a six-speed Tiptronic automatic gearbox.

Skoda is also promising a revised, higher quality interior and front side airbags being fitted as standard. Prices will be announced closer to the Fabia’s launch date.
