Interior: intuitive control and a fresh look

› ŠKODA interior design concept with large central display, fresh colours and even more space
› FABIA lettering on the sides of the instrument-cluster housing, and circular air vents
› Optional comfort features (as seen in higher-tier vehicles), including a heated windscreen and steering wheel

Mladá Boleslav, 16 August 2021 – The new ŠKODA FABIA’s interior is more spacious and comes with additional comfort features, striking a perfect balance between emotiveness and ergonomics. In keeping with ŠKODA’s current interior design concept, its look is characterised by fresh colours and the free-standing infotainment display measuring up to 9.2 inches. Large circular air vents and the new FABIA lettering on the sides of the instrument-cluster housing add further visual design touches. Other options making their FABIA debut include a heated windscreen and steering wheel (features previously found in higher-tier vehicles). ŠKODA will offer three trim levels and a special First Edition from market launch.

„We have also equipped the new FABIA with our current interior design concept featuring a free-standing central display and a symmetrical instrument panel. The lower part of the dashboard is upholstered in fabric and sports contrasting stitching, which creates a pleasant and homely feel. Coloured decorative features, specific ambient lighting and chrome applications add to the car’s character and fresh look. Horizontal lines emphasise the width of the interior, further enhancing the generous feeling of spaciousness.“

Kateřina Vránová, Head of Colour & Trim Design at ŠKODA

For the fourth-generation FABIA, which will be launched in the Active, Ambition and Style trim levels as well as in a special First Edition, the ŠKODA interior designers have added new visual touches to the brand’s current interior design concept. Besides the symmetrical instrument panel and the line below the large, free-standing central display which reflects the contours of the ŠKODA grille, the large circular air vents on the right and left also stand out. From the Ambition level upwards, these feature a chrome trim, as do the restyled door handles, and the front section of the dashboard is upholstered in fabric with contrasting stitching. A brand-new feature is the large FABIA lettering on both sides of the instrument-cluster housing.

The FABIA can now be ordered with some comfort features that were previously reserved for higher-tier vehicles. These include a heated windscreen for an unobstructed view and increased safety in winter, and a heated leather steering wheel designed in the latest ŠKODA styling with two spokes. A three-spoke sports steering wheel is another extra, with optional shift paddles for the DSG. This is the first FABIA that can be ordered with dual-zone Climatronic including additional air vents on the rear of the Jumbo Box to keep passengers cool. When equipped with this optional air conditioning system, the centre console features two rotary knobs to allow the temperature to be regulated separately for both sides of the vehicle. All of the system’s functions are easy to operate via just eight buttons.

Copper-coloured and grey contrasting stitching, as well as decorative features, bring new colour accents to the FABIA’s interior. The new LED ambient lighting (standard in Style) allows the driver to illuminate the decorative trim on the dashboard in white or red. The centre console and front door handles can also be lit up; furthermore, the ambient lighting includes LED reading lights in the front and rear. The seats, which for the first time feature adjustable lumbar support, have grey fabric upholstery in the Active trim level and sport additional grey contrasting stitching in the FABIA Ambition. In the Style variant, the seat covers are two-tone in grey and black.
