The MY26 Fabia is the facelifted version of the NW PQ26 generation, released to Australia on 3 October 2025.
We haven't driven the Fabia yet. On paper, light hatch segment is shrinking, factor resale into the decision. Cross shop the Skoda Kamiq if you want a small SUV body for similar money.
Light hatch loyalists wanting a European drive feel with a class-leading 380 L boot, city singles and couples after a polished compact car, and wireless CarPlay buyers chasing a long warranty.

No. The MY26 Fabia is petrol only for Australia. Skoda's electric line is the Elroq and Enyaq SUVs.
The MY26 Fabia is the facelifted version of the NW PQ26 generation, released to Australia on 3 October 2025. One of very few traditional European light hatchbacks left in Australia, on the VW Group MQB A0 platform. Two grades, both FWD with a 7-speed DSG: 85TSI Select with the 1.0 TSI three-cylinder, and 110TSI Monte Carlo with the 1.5 TSI four-cylinder. 380 L boot leads the segment, and warranty matches Korean rivals at 7 years.
