Overview
- The anniversary range-topper uses an uprated 1.5‑litre TSI engine producing roughly 174–177 hp and an unchanged 250 Nm of torque.
- Skoda quotes 0–62 mph in 7.4 seconds and a 142 mph top speed, making this the quickest production Fabia to date.
- Chassis tweaks include 15 mm lower sports suspension, recalibrated steering, retuned seven‑speed DSG shift points, added drive modes, and revised traction control.
- Exterior and cabin changes add 18‑inch alloys, twin exhaust tips, spoilers, discrete ‘130’ badging, electrically adjustable sports seats, stainless‑steel pedals, a 10‑inch virtual cockpit, and a 9.2‑inch infotainment system.
- Positioned as a small hot‑hatch alternative, it sits between the MINI Cooper S and VW Polo GTI on price and output, though reviewers note there is no manual option and performance remains modest for the class.
