Even a well-trained eye will find it difficult to notice changes in the Fabia's design. Let us help you: In addition to the new front and rear LED headlights, the Fabia has larger wheels and a slightly redesigned radiator grille.... The interior has also changed a little: new graphics of pressure gauges, updated offer of materials and color combinations. The biggest change: the all-new 6,5-inch center infotainment screen, which, in addition to the rear camera image and navigation data, is now new. supports communication with smartphones via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto protocols... This is interesting and contrary to the logic that you need to buy an additional navigation system to support these systems (which, of course, you don't need when mirroring navigation from your phone).

Otherwise, Fabia remains the ideal baby for the user. Well, the baby is only in external dimensions, because the volume, as befits a Czech brand, is quite luxurious. Quite a lot of adjustments are required and the four passengers can also be easily moved to the Fabia. Liter three-cylinder (there will be no diesels in Fabia from now on) freshened up and now, thanks to the installation of an additional catalyst, the cleaner. Eighty-one kilowatts are performing their function decisively and satisfactorily. When starting off, the characteristics of the three-cylinder engine require a more determined accelerator pedal, but when it “makes turns,” the Fabia sometimes smells like dynamism as well. Radar cruise control will help you at long distances, and in the city at low speeds you will be monitored by the collision avoidance system.

The redesigned Fabia is now technically not far behind its competitors. Savings are also an advantage: a test in which some equipment was used that is not even so necessary in such a machine is estimated at 15 thousand.
