Quick and maybe silly question but...what does the MK stand for? Only thing coming to my mind is Monte Carlo, but that doest quite make sense... Should be MC.

 

Just recieved my brand new Fabia (MY2025) few days ago so I suppose I "belong" to this part of the forum if i get any questions? 

 

Simply ... Mark Four .... like, the fourth version.

Yes you are in the right forum for a MY2025 VWŠkoda Fabia.

 

Mk4 generally means Mark 4 (or 4th generation), that is the Mark 1 is the first and original model then the manufacturers makes usually substantial changes to the model and they become Mark 2, Mark 3, Mark 4, etc..  - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Škoda_Fabia

 

Hmm...Mark Four....

Never heard it like that

Thanks! 🙂

This website is based in the UK where we refer to the "mark" rather than "generation".  There can also be sub-division of a mark such as the Fabia Mk3 with pre-facelift and post-facelift where cosmetic (and other) changes have been made.  It is all just market stuff, a model name may remain for decades with the vehicles changing vastly in appearance and mechanicals.

As @nta16 says above. Take for instance, the Ford Escort, which went through 5 marks, the same number of basic shells, and from mark 2 to mark 3 changed from in-line front engine rear wheel drive to transverse front engine front wheel drive.
