Not sure if this will just be a change for the Austrilian market as it was reported on http://www.caradvice.com.au

The render below looks a bit to much like the BMW X series for my liking, the Yeti has character, which I believe should stay forever.

Skoda is said to be developing a four new SUV-based vehicles that will replace the Skoda Roomster and Skoda Yeti in the future. Two crossovers are set to replace the Roomster while two new SUVs will replace the Yeti.

According to a CAR report, Skoda is working on replacing the Skoda Roomster with a small-to-medium size crossover around the same size as the Volkswagen Touran. A larger crossover around the size of a Volkswagen Sharan is also in the pipeline to diversify the range.

Making up the more off-road-oriented packages are two SUVs, said to replace the recently announced Skoda Yeti. One is expected to be based on the Volkswagen Tiguan, while another larger version based on the Volkswagen Passat platform will offer seven seats.

Both the large versions of each are said to be planned for a 2016 release, while the smaller of the two – the small crossover and the Tiguan-based SUV – will apparently arrive in 2014 and 2015, respectively.

The expansion of Skoda models is part of Volkswagen Group’s plans to be the biggest carmaker by 2018, a goal which may be achieved by the end of this year.

That impression is too ugly to even think about....

I could be wrong, but I think that image and story came out some time ago.

I quite like that pic

Yeah, somebody posted it on here from Auto Express or the other motoring weekly a while back. That's the magazine's idea of what it might look like, nowt to do with Skoda.

Put a 200bhp/300+ torque diesel engine in it and I'll buy it!

That "artist's impression" has been floating around for some 18 months, as various different models.

As Graham says that image is ancient...

And in the latest CAR magazine you will see an artist impression of both the facelift Yeti and this bigger version which they describe as in size between the Tiguan and Touareg - so as to not step on mummy VW's toes.
