Fleet customers from across the UK have been given a first look at the new Fabia model at an event hosted by Skoda’s UK’s fleet division.

The event, held at Silverstone Circuit, provided delegates and Skoda customers with the opportunity to test drive the third-generation Fabia, which was recently named the What Car? Car of the Year 2015.

Guests were also given the chance to drive the Octavia vRS on Silverstone’s Stowe Complex track and a 4x4 driving experience with the Skoda Yeti Outdoor and Octavia Scout models on an off-road course.

Patrick McGillycuddy, head of fleet at Skoda UK, said: “It was a fantastic opportunity for our customers, both new and old, to have a hands-on experience with our range of award-winning models.

“Our vehicles are defined by their individual characters, so for us there was no better venue than Silverstone to showcase what the new Fabia, Yeti and Octavia have to offer."

The Fabia range arrives at Skoda retailers across the UK on January 30 with prices starting from £10,600 OTR.

Every model in the Fabia range emits less than 110g/km of CO2.
