The Skoda Fabia appeals to us. Although its philosophy has changed for the current generation model, we still believe it to be among the greatest small cars available today. The primary selling point of the Fabia has always been its low cost of ownership, but as the vehicle has gone through four generations, that concept has changed to represent "value for money." That's slightly different because it now indicates that you're looking at the most car for your money rather than the least amount of money for a car.
When compared to the SEAT Ibiza and VW Polo, two other models in the Volkswagen Group, the Skoda Fabia makes especially sense.
The Skoda Fabia diesel's mega-mpg days are long gone. We're a little sorry it's gone because, although it was always a bit of a niche option, it managed to consume petrol at an incredibly slow rate regardless of how you drove.
The Fabia has been powered by 1.0- and 1.5-litre engines since its introduction in 2021 (though the former makes up the majority of the range). These engines offer, in very general terms, mpg ratings in the 50s and CO2 outputs between 114 and 138g/km.
Skoda Fabia Fuel Consumption
With stated mpg of between 54.1 and 55.5, the turbocharged 110hp 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine is the most economical on paper. However, take note that the engine becomes the least efficient when paired with a Skoda automatic gearbox. Official economy estimates drop to 46.7 to 50.7 mpg, depending on the vehicle.
The 1.5-litre engine in the Monte Carlo is more potent and can achieve 48.4 to 51.1 mpg while emitting as little CO2 as 125 grammes per kilometre. It also has the largest wheels, so you should budget extra for tyre replacement. Brake pad and disc replacements should occur sooner if you take full advantage of the additional performance.
As the Fabia is meant to be a cost-effective vehicle, all of its engines achieve official WLTP fuel economy ratings of around 50 mpg. Regardless of power, the manual gearbox Skoda Fabia models, MPI and TSI alike, will all return at least 55 mpg. Opt for the DSG auto, and although it's less expensive, it still works well.
Skoda dealers that do well in our annual Satisfaction Index for customer satisfaction also have very reasonable servicing costs. The Fabia only comes with a three-year warranty out of the box, unlike Kia and Hyundai, but insurance for it is at least reasonably priced, with a rating between Groups 4 and 19.
Skoda Fuel Consumption
The range of carbon dioxide emissions for a given model is 115- to 137g/km. This translates to a first-year road tax (VED) of £210 or £255, depending on the CO2 output of the vehicle you choose.
The fuel consumption of the Skoda Fabia is shown below in both MPG (Miles Per Gallon) and km/L (Kilometers Per Litre). Both of these figures show you how far that particular Skoda Fabia variant can travel for every gallon (4.55 litres) and every litre (1000ml) of fuel. The higher the MPG or km/L value, the more economical the car is and the cheaper it will be to run. As well as providing the combined figures, we also give you the fuel consumption you can expect from a Skoda Fabia in urban / city driving conditions as well as what can be expected on the open highway / motorway.

The 'real fuel consumption' shows you the amount of fuel your Skoda Fabia is consuming to travel a fixed distance. This is normally shown as L/100km. This figure shows you the amount of fuel consumed in litres for every 100kms travelled. This is the most commonly used figure for showing the fuel consumption of a vehicle. The formula to calculate it is:
(Litres of fuel used X 100) / Kilometers travelled = L/km.
