The interior of the car boasts height-adjustable sports seats along with a multifunctional sports steering wheel with three spokes and pedal covers in stainless steel. To echo the black body theme, Skoda has maintained the same colour scheme inside as well though with a touch of red along the door handles, roof lining and roof pillars to make it a little vibrant. The armrests on the front doors and the lower part of the dashboard feature a sporty carbon-fibre effect as decorative trim, with contrasting white stitching on the dashboard. The door sills also show off a Fabia logo.
Skoda revealed that one can choose from three infotainment systems ranging from a 6.5-inch digital screen to the top-of-the-line 9.2-inch touchscreen equipped with the Amundsen system where one can operate the system by gesture control and the Laura digital voice assistant. The car will be always online thanks to the built-in eSIM which enables access not only to web radio but also to an extensive range of mobile online services from Skoda Connect and the latest infotainment apps. Customers can connect smartphones via Wireless SmartLink, Android Auto or Apple CarPlay without a cable and inductively charge it in the optional Phone Box.

The top of the range variant comes with a four-cylinder engine that can generate a power of 150 PS and is coupled with a seven-speed DSG as a standard.
