New SKODA FABIA Takes Red Dot Award for Exceptional Design

The ever-popular SKODA FABIA has earned a Red Dot Award for its outstanding design – completing a hat-trick of wins in this category, following titles in 2008 and 2015.

This recent accolade puts the fourth-generation FABIA on a par with the renowned SKODA OCTAVIA.

The panel of judges at the Red Dot Awards were impressed by the FABIA’s eye-catching design, segment-leading spaciousness, versatility and importantly – value for money. 48 jury members from 23 countries, across professions such as design and journalism, independently evaluated the nominated models based on criteria such as innovation, functionality, ergonomics and durability.

The Red Dot jury commented: “The FABIA conveys a sporty yet likeable impression through its exterior design. The interior has a surprisingly generous feeling of spaciousness.”

The SKODA FABIA features an athletic design with some subtle cues to its home origins. Angular front headlights include crystalline structures that have been inspired by Bohemian glass art, and the bodylines on the front doors stylise the Czech flag.
