A Legacy Built to Last

Founded in 1895, Škoda’s story spans more than a century of continuous evolution, from its early days producing bicycles to becoming an international automotive brand. Across generations, it has stayed true to its core philosophy by delivering smart design, reliable performance, and vehicles that fit seamlessly into everyday life.

The Fabia has long been a cornerstone of that journey. Since its introduction in 1999, it has become one of Škoda’s most successful models, with over five million produced worldwide.

Compact yet surprisingly spacious, refined yet practical, the Fabia represents everything drivers have come to love about Škoda. With the Fabia 130, that legacy is carried forward into a bold new chapter, paired with exclusive design elements and enhanced features.

Upgraded Power

The Fabia 130 is more than a special badge, it’s the fastest production Fabia ever built. At its heart is a 1.5-litre turbocharged TSI engine producing 130kW and 250Nm, paired with a seven-speed DSG transmission.

It delivers a composed and confident drive, with 0–100km/h in around 7.4 seconds and a top speed of up to 228km/h. Derived from the Fabia Monte Carlo, the Fabia 130 brings enhanced power, lowered suspension, and upgraded technology, ensuring it delivers an engaging, sporty driving experience.

“With the Fabia 130, we are celebrating our 130-year legacy and our rich motorsport heritage. As a key part of our product portfolio, the Fabia has been immensely successful with over 5 million units produced since 1999. This limited edition and fastest series-produced Fabia highlights our commitment to performance through increased power and various visual upgrades, adding a new level of excitement to our model series.”
