第三代斯柯达晶锐是在两年前发布的,斯柯达已经开始对其进行改款。最近谍照记者拍到了更实用的Combi版本原型车,当时该车正在阿尔卑斯山进行测试,车辆的前后脸都进行了伪装。新车最明显变化是在车辆前部,新车采用了类似速派的更锐利前大灯和更突出格栅。前保险杠也进行了小改,雾灯进行了改款。从前保险杠设置的雷达判断,该车似乎配备了选装的前置辅助安全系统,可在车辆可能与车辆发生碰撞时对驾驶员发出警报。如果驾驶员忽视警告,车辆会自动激活制动系统以避免碰撞。这辆车还在前右侧翼子板上设置了摄像头,这可能是一项与安全相关的技术,类似选装的车道辅助和/或自适应巡航控制系统(取自明锐和速派)。该车的车尾并没有什么变化,尾灯组仍与现行版差不多,不过,后保险杠设计仍掩藏在伪装下面。车尾或许还有一些小的变化,但不会有明显改变。至于动力系统,新车很可能不再提供 1.2 TSI,从而给1.0 TSI三缸引擎腾地方,这一点与2017款明锐一样。不要指望新车还会增加 vRS版本,车厂已经多次声明不会提供该版本,主要是市场需求不足。
Skoda Fabia Combi facelift makes spy photo debut
The third-generation Fabia was introduced almost two years ago, but it seems Skoda is already out and about preparing a refresh for the B-segment model. Our spies have spotted a prototype of the more practical Combi version undergoing testing in the Austrian Alps while carrying some disguise on the front and rear fascias.
The most significant changes will occur at the front where the Fabia in both body styles is set to receive a Superb-like design with sharper headlights and a more prominent grille. The front bumper will also receive a nip and tuck and is going to host reshaped fog lights.
Judging by the front-mounted radar in the bumper, the prototype was equipped with the optional Front Assist safety system which automatically alerts the driver in the event of a possible collision. If the person behind the wheel decides to ignore the warnings shown on the Maxi DOT display, the system will automatically apply the brakes in case of an upcoming collision with another car that cannot be avoided, thus reducing the chances of more serious injuries.
What’s really interesting about the prototype is the camera mounted on the front-right fender which could be a sign of more safety-related tech set to arrive with the mid-cycle refresh, such as optional Lane Assist and/or Adaptive Cruise Control taken from the Octavia and Superb.
There’s not much going on at the back since the taillights belong to the current model, while the bumper design remains hidden underneath the swirly camouflage. There will probably be a few minor changes at the rear, but we are not expecting anything of great significance.
In terms of engine updates, the Fabia will likely lose the four-cylinder 1.2 TSI to make room for the three-cylinder 1.0 TSI unit, as seen in the 2017MY Octavia. Don’t hold your breath for a range-topping vRS version because Skoda has said several times it’s not going to happen, mainly because there wouldn’t be a market big enough to justify the model’s existence.
