Is there a Skoda MPV planned? (equivalent of Sharan/ Alhambra)

[avid fan]

Apologies in advance for posting here – I know it’s not an octy question (although I do have one, if that gives me special dispensation! )

For some reason I was unable to post in the techie forum, so I’m hoping mods can move to where this is most appropriate :wonder: .

Short question – I was wondering if anyone knows if Skoda are going to come out with their ‘version’ of the VAG people carrier – i.e. something with the same base as the VW Sharon and the Seat Alhambra???

We recently got an octy estate, but an impending new arrival means we’re now looking into people carriers (though it won’t be for another year or so, finances allowing).

I like the look of the facelifted new Seat people carrier, but am tending towards the Ford S-Max, which just seems a bit more sporty and of course there are loads on the second hand market.

Just seems like Skoda are missing a trick on this one(?)

I don't think VW would want another same model with a different badge.

We have an S-Max at work at it drives superbly no doubt better then any other MPV and better then even a smaller C-Max.

The market is just too floody with them to make it worth skoda's attempt in the market. Plus as said above Skoda are already harming the rest of the VAG's range sales wise so why would they make it worse but adding another to that.

Personal slightly of topic but I'd rather like a skoda version of the TT.

Have you thought about just getting a big estate (Superb) instead?

5 seats is no good when you need 6 or 7!

Quite like the look of that, unless of course it is a Photoshop'd thing so beloved of Auto Express magazine

I wish they would make a taxi, with the same layout as a London cab but 6 seats in the back instead of 5, all taxi drivers hate the LTI ones

Based on the Touran so only a five seater...

There was talk of a 7 seat "Grand" Yeti being made but I'm not sure if that was any more than just auto mag wishful thinking

Ive heard the 7 seat yeti and MPV are on the way at some point. We have to extand our showroom as Skoda will stipulate with the new model range we must have a showroom capable of displaying seven cars (ours is quite a small Skoda/Subaru dealer) so they are looking to bin Subaru I think to commit the space to Skoda.

My local dealer might have a problem there as 5 is tight. Especially as they only took on Suzuki earlier this year.

I like the 'Bigfoot', the MPV & the new Octy..looks a bit A6-ish from the back (or is that just me?) But 2013 is too far away...I'll be desperate for a change before then !

I looked into this. The problem is that we’ll need a car that can take three carseats (and leave space for two adults, including the driver).

I had initially hoped the Superb might be significantly wider than the Octy, so you could fit three abreast in the back seat. Sadly, there’s not that much difference.

The grand yeti would be AWESOME, but I also like the hashed up MPV piccie too. We’ll have to wait – the model’s will probably be out by the time my finances allow another car purchase :(

There is a company who make bespoke rear seat solutions to fit up to four kids abreast! It's fully approved etc-only downside is they're wild money-'bout a grand I think.

Nothing to do with me!
