Check out this link HERE some photos of the new Skoda Yeti, I think it looks much better than the earlier pictures.

Also make sure you scroll along to number 58 for an example of Italian build quality.

Looks like a Jeep or a Kia... :thumbdwn:

:lol: @ Fiat

Cant say the Fiat suprises me. But this is a repost.

looks like an invalid carrier

I'm sure old people will love it though... :P

What I don't understand is where in the range does the Yeti sit? It looks similar in size to the Roomster. Does this mean it replaces the Roomster or is it in addition?

Looks like a 4x4, so a bit of a Roomster Scout Estate kind of thing.

I think it looks great.

I quite like it myself, front reminds me of a lupo through!

I prefer the original concept, the production version looks far too boxy and a bit more plain.

thats the problem it never really looks like what the concepts are like

I really like it. Nicer looking than the Roomster IMHO.

Are the rear wheels bigger than the fronts? Or is it just my eyesight?

The Yeti is a 4x4 SUV thingy.....

I rather like that. It looks to be the right size, 4-wheel drive, probably the useful engines too. And pleasingly boxy. It's like a Subaru Forester Jnr.

Can't say i'm a fan of the Yeti but that Opel's nice from piccy 23 onwards!!!!!

Cheers

Dave.

I quite like that, especially in the green colour.

The Yeti is a 4x4 SUV thingy.....

except the quote for picture 8 says that it won't be allowed to have 4WD, and will have to "fight through snow and mud as a front-wheeler"

I'd read elsewhere that it'll be available in both FWD and 4WD.

That is correct, full details should be released on Tuesday morning.

A 4WD one with the CR170 would be most interesting.

Well how about this one ?

That looks Yetacular.

Ask and you shall receive! Engines confirmed incl the 170 CR. Fantastic engine lineup actually!

Details in press release below.

Compact, attractively styled and full of surprises: Škoda Auto will celebrate the extension of its model range to five with the introduction of Yeti at Geneva. The 4.2 metre long, five-door vehicle bears the well-known features of the brand. An impressive front end with a ribbed grille and friendly looking headlamps confidently demonstrate Yeti’s relationship with the Škoda family. Sturdy flanks and distinct wings give Yeti its robust and solid look on 17 inch wheels, without coming across as bulky and heavy.

The Yeti is a clever response by Škoda Auto to the increasingly important ecological issues in the popular and growing SUV class. Škoda has met the demands for a cleanly styled body, a high seat position and versatile operating options with a design, which despite its robustness, exudes lightness rather than bulky shapes. The Yeti also meets the needs for environmental care, luggage space, safety and great road holding.

A carefully balanced running gear concept allows the driver to implement what the design implies: fun and dynamic to drive. The Yeti distinguishes itself with very agile handling coupled with high safety reserves. As well as the stylish exterior of the Yeti, the driver and passengers feel safe.

This impression is reinforced, among other things, by the turbo-charged and frugal engines. Two petrol engines and three diesel are on offer: The entry unit (front wheel drive), a petrol engine with four cylinders and 1.2 litre capacity, delivers 77 kW thanks to a power-providing turbo charger (105 PS). The fuel consumption stays within tight limits.

The Yeti is also available with the following engines:

Petrol:

1.2 TSI with 77 kW (front wheel drive)

1.8l TSI with 118 kW (4x4)

Diesel:

2.0l TDI CR with 81 kW (front wheel drive, 4x4)

2.0l TDI CR with 103 kW; (4x4)

2.0l TDI CR with 125 kW (4x4)

The Yeti is very well equipped for load lugging, too. The luggage compartment volume is flexible; up to 1760 litres is available by removing the rear seats. A luggage cover and net as well as lashing rings are available to further secure the load. As the Yeti is born of a brand which offers clever automobile concepts as its core competence, it is designed with a highly flexible luggage system.

The Yeti is a clever compact SUV that is bound to create a stir in this segment. Excellent handling characteristics and high agility are features of all trims. The 4x4 variants are also characterised by outstanding off-road suitability and excellent traction. These, coupled with superb emission values and low fuel consumption meet the needs for a socially acceptable extension of the SUV class.
