The incoming Skoda Fabia has just been given a rugged makeover, with the Czech brand today revealing a Scoutline Combi wagon version of its city-sized car.
While Skoda promises more "adventure DNA", the Scoutline is a true off-roader in the tune of the brand's proper Scout models. Instead it mostly just looks more adventurous.
But it does look good, right? Those wheels are 16- or 17-inch alloys, and the bigger size especially fills the Fabia's new matt black wheel arches. The side sills are now matt black, too, is a new front spoiler, while the new rear bumper and spread are in the mirror, and the roof mirrors and roof rails.
Elsewhere, though, this Combi Scoutline version of the 2019 Fabia benefits from the same updates revealed at the Geneva Motor Show earlier this year.
An update rather than an all-new model, the new Fabia gets LED lights from the back, while the grid and headlights have been redesigned, too. Inside, expect a new driver binnacle set-up, and new dash trims. The 6.5-inch infotainment screen is both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-equipped, and there are USB connection points for front and backseat riders.
New safety features include auto light assist, blind spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert. Under the hat, with the current line-up, with the Fabia range in Australia to make a pair of petrol engines (70kW and 81kW) paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic.
There is no word yet on whether the Scoutline version will join the new Fabia range when it arrives in Australia towards the end of this year.
