Skoda Fabia dimensions

The Skoda Fabia Vrs Estate is a niche within a niche, but it looks surprisingly well resolved. Its large alloy wheels, twin exhausts and tinted windows set it apart from the traditional model, but this is still a very subtle vehicle. In fact, it's one of the most surprising quickly vehicles we can think of, making it the polar opposite of a boy-racer special edition. We just wish it wasn't quite so tall, as it can make the Skoda Fabia exterior awkward from some angles. LED daytime-running lights in place of traditional fog lights set the Vrs apart from other models in the range.

The Skoda Fabia Vrs Estate is fundamentally a small vehicle, but you wouldn't think it from its boot room. With 480 to 1460, litres available, it carries as much as its (slower) competitors the Renault Clio Sport Tourer and Seat Ibiza ST. There's a handy space to shop a few shopping bags and stop them sliding about too. It's simple to find a good driving position and there's just enough back legroom for adults to sit in tandem.

Traditional equipment contains an eight speaker audio with helm mounted controls, 17-inch alloy wheels, alarm, electric front windows, heated door mirrors, manual air-con, trip computer, remote central locking and tinted back windows.
