New Škoda FABIA scores five stars in Euro NCAP test

Škoda's entry-level model has secured five stars in the crash safety reference test conducted by the independent European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). The Škoda FABIA achieved 78 per cent of the maximum available points, making it one of the safest vehicles in its class. This result extends Škoda's string of top ratings, with each new model receiving the top rating since 2008.

With up to 9 airbags, three-point automatic seat belts and safety head retrains, the Škoda FABIA puts driver and passenger safety first. Equally important is the car's rigid frame and wide range of safety systems and driver assists.

Johannes Neft, Škoda AUTO Board Member for Technical Development, says:

“The new Škoda Fabia’s five-star rating in the Euro NCAP test reaffirms our strong commitment to the safety of our customers and all other road users. We are proud that since 2008, each new Škoda vehicle has received the highest rating at market launch. The Fabia is now the second model to do so after the more rigorous test conditions were introduced. By switching to the MQB-A0, we can now offer numerous safety features and assistance systems from higher vehicle categories in the Fabia, thus further enhancing the safety of this popular model.”
