Skoda has revealed a new, limited-run Black edition trim level for its entire model line-up, offering customers additional conventional kit and a range of interior and exterior styling updates with an unsurprisingly dark theme.
Prices start from £10,090 for the Citigo Black Edition, rising to upwards of £23,990 for the top-of-the-range special edition Yeti, with each variant available in Black Magic Pearlescent paint.

Despite the name, the Fabia Black edition (from £15,490) can be finished in candy White, and both the hatchback and estate get the 104bhp 1.2-litre TSI engine, plus heated front seats, Bluetooth, sat nav and DAB digital radio.

Skoda is offering the limited edition Roomster for the same starting price, with the engine, sat nav and DAB carried over, although the additional bodywork option makes way. There are also 17-inch ‘Comet’ black alloys, black front fog lights, as well as sports seats and a three-spoke leather steering wheel for the interior.
Both the rapid (£16,880) and rapid Spaceback (£18,250) variants share the 1.2 TSI, too, alongside their own bespoke 17-inch black alloys, sports seats, sat nav, digital radio.

Moon White metallic again joins Black Magic Pearlescent as a possible finish.
17-inch ‘Twister’ black rims, heated front seats, full leather upholstery, satellite navigation and DAB are the chosen updates for the outstanding (from £23,630), both body styles benefiting from identical extra kit and white or black paint schemes.
