Thanks Johann,

 

so LEGO front end it is then, as surmised earlier

Overall, I think the new Yeti looks fine. However, I'm so pleased with my current model that I may just hang onto it when it's due for replacement next November. Decisions, decisions!

Thanks Johann. That polystyrene thing's a bit odd. I don't think there's anything enough to put me off getting an outdoor though.

My 2011 Superb has the same black polystyrene behind the bumper. It too is visible through the grill.

 

I actually quite like the facelift. I thought dropping the round front fogs would be a mistake, but it wasn't, it now looks more aggressive.

Thanks for the update Johann, there are some nice touches, but like most I will not be rushing out to replace my current one, even though I really do like the look of those brown seats in the L & K

Thanks for all the pics Johann - only goes to confirm my decision to order current model last week! Was hoping the FL would be worth waiting for, and apart from the DSG on the 1.6 Diesel (and I don't do the miles to make that worth it), it all seems very cosmetic (and not necessarily in the right direction)!

All very well, but aren't we getting towards the point where any new factory order is likely to be FL anyway (unless you're content to accept a pre-specified run-out model)?

All in all I have to say that I quite like the overall outcome of the facelift but - as others have already mentioned - it is definitely not enough to make we want to switch from my current car. Additionally, I especially dislike the lower grille as it appears in the photos. It would make fitting of my, ahem, "laser-based parking sensors" a nightmare, which was difficult enough with the current front-end layout.

 

I am, however, looking forward to the new rear badge becoming available. I hope I will manage to have one fitted when whiteworm inevitably takes it toll on my current, old-style one.

I checked with a Skoda dealer here in Norway and they told me that as of now it is still possible to order the pre F/L Yeti as per one's wishes. But I dont know how long that window will remain open.

Haha.  Slightly OT but here am I taking the pics for this thread!

 

 

Johann,

Did you notice if the interior lights are now led types

I expect a lot of our fans will agree changing to led lights have made a big difference 

Thanks for showing us pictures from the show

Sorry I did not take notice of the interior lights.  Oops.

A bigger petrol engine with 7 speed DSG and I would be interested. Otherwise, forget changing!

More economical petrol linked to a manual box & 4x4 for me :yes:

 

Would like to get shot of needing engines which unfortunately have DPF's and DMF's

According to someone's post elsewhere on the forum, the 1.8TSI is not going to be available in the UK on the facelifted Yeti.

Just found this,

That's not my information, which is that the 1.8TSi will be in the lineup at 184 CO2 but manual only.

Thanks.  Though has been posted ages ago and my full comments on that here. 

Was in my local Skoda dealer this morning and they had just received the details for the FL Yeti. Pricing is about £600 over the old model and the L&K is Outdoor only.

Apparently it should be on the Skoda UK website in a couple of days.

Johann, you should have had a Briskoda Researchers pendant badge on, I'm sure Skoda would have given you better access to the cars if they had seen that

Ha. Exactly as I said from the start!  LOL  £600 increase.  hehehe  Interesting is that the L&K is Outdoor only...  My preferance for sure but surely the more utilitarian look of the two to give to the smartest version?

New prices on the Skoda site now.

Hmmm.  A distinct shortage of petrol engines?  :wonder:

So it seems - no return of the 1.4, and the 1.8 only available in L&K guise. I see that the 170 DSG is only available in the Elegance and not the L&K, which seems a bit odd.
