A Fabia “Plus” or a Fabia Sedan soon?
Skoda is planning a new model to fit between the compact Fabia hatchback (Polo based) and the Octavia sedan (Jetta, Golf based). The new vehicle has been given a codename of A Entry for now and the focus would be to price it affordably – around US$13,650. The new model will be aimed at lower income customers looking for a larger family car than what a typical Fabia-class vehicle would offer.
I am guessing that would only mean a new small sedan based on the Fabia platform, perhaps with the wheelbase lengthened a little. As it is, Volkswagen makes a sedan version of the Polo for certain emerging markets and calls it the Polo Classic.
When the new Polo was announced, a report claimed that Volkswagen was planning a larger “Polo Plus” and a “Polo Sedan” for the US market, as the Polo was just too small a car for American tastes. The Polo Plus was to have a price tag of US$13,000 to US$15,000. Skoda’s version can be a more budget oriented version of this Polo Plus/Polo Sedan, if it is priced “around” US$13,000 as the mid price point.

macam suzuki swift
Is Skoda still actively in operation for Malaysia market ?
ya… just like a swift .
cantik
swift rear definitely
the previous fabia sedan looked awful… hope the new one (if they make it) is better designed.
Swift wannabe!
Looks like the swift. But nicer…..
lot of this people here aren't aware this car has been launched a long time ago
swift with different headlamp……….
Suzuki Swift bodykit? Chevy Aveo 5 front? Call this a design?
SKODA Auto Praha in Glenmarie now gone, so sad, cant own a SKODA anymore
i do not understand why people must say that this car is a swift. both cars are great compact cars in their own right. the swift is for the energetic and sporty while the fabia is a more mature car (unlike the stupid gen-2 or satria or savvy)
Guys… Malaysia, Thailand and the neighbouring countries sadly is not on the priority list for SKoda as China, India and now Australia is. Skodas are REMARKABLE when it comes to performance and mainly in finishing and luxury. Dont snub one until you have tried one.
When it comes to the Fabia, then the back really does look like the swift but again the Fabia was launced long before the new swift came so I dare say that the swift looks like the skoda (at the back). The new 2010 Skodas have a devised front.. loks really the same but sexier ( the head lights are somewhat smaller). Even the smallest fabia you can feel the quality. Japanese cars are GREAT but I can still feel its too plasticky inside… Skoda has Czech and German quality to it
Skoda is anytime better in terms of quality and handling and performance then the equivalent Japanese car, make no mistake about it guys.
Sorry to say the majority of the motorists in Malaysia are not savvy about continental cars other than Merc and BM…
I will buy the latest Skoda Fabia rather than the Swift or Jazz or even Yaris/Altis without a second thought.
Its very German.
