While some might argue that Europe’s small station wagons are a bit pointless, Skoda’s offering has always performed well in terms of sales. With that in mind, the company has decided to keep the Fabia Combi variant going into this next-generation cycle, with the new model set to debut sometime next year, as reported by Autonews Europe.
The Czech carmaker said earlier this year
that the Combi model accounted for 34 percent of the Fabia’s overall sales,
which isn’t bad considering that small non-premium wagon models have pretty
much gone extinct.
Skoda has been selling a wagon version of
the Fabia ever since the nameplate’s inception in 2000. In its 20 years of
existence, 1.5 million Fabia Combi units have made their way from the factory
floor and into the hands of customers, usually small families or people in need
of a little more trunk volume than the Fabia hatchback could provide.
