Skoda Fabia Estate 2018 pictures

With the SEAT Ibiza ST being axed, the Skoda Fabia Estate is one of the few small estates left on sale in the UK

Previous Fabia Estates have been somewhat ungainly looking, but the latest model has smart lines

Like the Fabia hatchback, the estate is comfortable and good to drive

There's a decent range of petrol and diesel engines to choose from

Larger alloys are an option on higher trim levels

Also available are LED daytime running lights

The Fabia is well built and surveys indicate buyers are generally satisfied

The dashboard is modern and nicely laid-out, if a little dull

The infotainment system includes Apple CarPlay and Android Auto functionality

Skoda calls this smartphone connectivity MirrorLink

There's plenty of space in the Fabia Estate's back seats

The boot is bigger than some of those in cars from one or even two classes above
