What a smart looking little estate car! I like that a lot.

That really does look smart.

It's very well proportioned.

Is it an Octavia,or a Rapid  ?

No! It's the Fabia MK3

So are they 'Officially Leaked pictures',   or Pictures taken Officially, then Leaked'.

 

What is it with Skoda that they can not just 'Release Pictures',  always this attempt at hype and suspense.

The cars look OK, and if they want them called a Combi and not an Estate then they should call them a Combi in the UK.

 

As it is, i only ever see it as a 'New Fabia', & the 3rd Generation Fabia.  Is it now officially a Fabia Mk3 according to Skoda?

As ever and as with ALL first images released these days by Škoda, these are just very good digital renders. They are NOT pictures of an actual car.

I like it.  

So what's the difference between that and the Rapid Spaceback? Both look the same, both about the same size and both on the same platform, likely with the same engine choices.

I think the Spaceback might be a lower roofline, and a longer platform it might not be quite as spacious as the Combi... I'm going to Paris tomorrow and will be at the Motor Show on Saturday so it'll be interesting to see them together. 

Best looking estate in the range, that!

the Fabia estate will have a far bigger boot - which is very appealing to me tbh.

Looking forward to seeing the New Fabia Estate in Outdoor mode, and a Spaceback version.

That's my next car for sure, should've got an estate last time round but they weren't doing a Monte estate back then.

It looks the pick of the bunch out of the new Fabia. Let's just hope they get the pricing right and don't go too premium.

The best looking small estate on the market - this will sell very well indeed

Something a bit Mercedesey about that.

 

Boot is 530L! Looks very practical too:

The Fabia Combi is 5cm shorter than the Rapid Spaceback, but has a 115L bigger boot.

 

I suppose the Rapid has better rear leg room.

Looking at the side glass compared to the Spaceback, then the rear pane looks much longer while the rear doors look shorter on the Fab III.

 

Overall a very nice looking car, although I prefer the Spaceback rear bumper design.

I'm currently in an Octy 3 and will likely be changing for one of these next year.

 

Will be interested to see the spec list though, not sure how I'd live now without parking sensors and auto lights/wipers!

I love it and know how my next car will look now...

Nice pic:

 

Wonder if its got the same daft bumper/grill design as the Octy III, in that they are bonded together and can be only ordered as one item. Seen a couple of Octy III's with upper grill slats missing, which I assume the owners have left due to replacement costs.

LIke it a lot!

want to replace my GLII estate with a GLIII estate

 

but the GLIII is the last model / option to be released :(
