The rumors about the cancellation of the version pile up ‘Combi‘of the model Skoda Fabia. As reported by some local media in the Czech Republic, such as Auto.cz, the management of the brand part of the Volkswagen group would have announced to employees that the ‘Station Wagon’ car will not be built.
Last December he was the same CEO of Skoda, Thomas Schäfer, to confirm that there would have been an ‘elongated’ Fabia, despite the fact that the station wagon market is in crisis almost everywhere, also due to the multitude of SUVs offered by the houses. However, according to the rumors just mentioned, the reason for the alleged cancellation would be related to emissions.
In fact, the letter to the employees speaks of “of the future Euro 7 emission rules” that “they will accelerate the transition process towards electromobility“. Consequently Skoda “will need more electric cars“And it will be necessary”say goodbye to some planned combustion engine products“. All this, ahead of schedule. One of the negative protagonists of this reform it would be just the station wagon in Fabia sauce. Among other things, there is also a problem of costs: the model needs in fact some specific changes to the MQB A0 platform, placing it in a unique situation and obviously not justified by the sales volumes.
While waiting for Skoda to confirm or deny the rumors, it must be remembered that the model had obtained a production line at the Kvasiny plant, with the assembly line ready to start in 2023.
