Last month Skoda teased the Fabia facelift, announcing to the world that the five-door hatchback will finally receive a mid-life makeover. The mildly updated Fabia in both of its five-door hatchback and wagon iterations will get revised LED headlights and LED taillights, with similarity to Octavia facelift. The engine will also come with refined performance and consists of four petrol drivetrains, while no diesel engine is on offer right away. The Fabia facelift will be unveiled at the upcoming International Motor Show 2018 in Geneva, with market launch set at second half of 2018.
