Skoda Fabia Estate 2015 - pictures

The Fabia Estate is the same as the hatch from the C-pillars forward.

The Fabia's interior is smart but there is a lack of soft-touch materials.

The Skoda Fabia Estate's engine lineup is almost the same as the hatch, but the 59bhp three-cylinder unit is absent.

A MirrorLink smartphone connectivity system is available.

Space in the rear seats is great for a supermini, even a supermini estate.

The Skoda Fabia estate's boot competes with cars from one or two classes above.

The engine to go for is the 89bhp 1.2 TSI petrol unit but the diesels are good for high-mileage users.

The Fabia Estate is no sports car, but grip levels are good.

The 'Sprint Yellow' paintwork on our test car is a bold addition.

The Fabia's only real competitors in the supermini estate class are the Dacia Logan MCV and the SEAT Ibiza ST.

The Greenline model emits just 85g/km of CO2.
