| Skoda Fabia Hatchback |
The Fabia is the brand's second bestselling car right after the Skoda Octavia. Since its debut in 1999, the Czech car maker has sold almost 3.5 million Fabias worldwide to date (as of 31st August 2014). From the beginning, the Skoda Fabia has embodied all of Skoda's good qualities: lots of space within compact exterior dimensions, a wide array of convenient solutions, fuel efficiency, dependable technology and excellent value for money. It is this combination which has made the Fabia one of the most popular cars of its class.
A large number of renowned awards has confirmed this success. The second-generation Fabia alone has won an impressive list of national and international honours since 2007. Among the most important international honours is the 'Red Dot Design Award'. In Germany, the honours included the 'Golden Steering Wheel' and 'Company Car of the Year'; it was also named 'Most Affordable Small Car' at the 'AutoTrophy' and best imported small car in the 'Best Cars' competition. In Great Britain, among others, the Fabia won 'Best Small Car below £16,000' at The Caravan Club and 'Small Car of the Year' at the Scottish Group of Motoring Writers.

The new Fabia comes with cutting-edge safety systems that were previously reserved for higher vehicle classes. The optional Front Assistant with integrated City Emergency Braking Function, which automatically brings the vehicle to a complete stop, reduces the risk of rear-end collisions. The Multi-Collision Brake System will automatically slow the car down after an accident to prevent a follow-on collision. The Driver Activity Assistant will detect fatigue in the driver, while the new Speedlimiter can prevent the car from exceeding a pre-set speed. Hill Hold Control will help drivers start on a gradient. Also, the new Fabia comes with an electronic tyre pressure monitor as standard in EU countries.
