Ah thanks for that. Good video.  And the opening sunroof clearly visible

 

 

 

 

 

What's also clear is that it seems to have TWO pairs of DRLs. The headlights have ones at the top and then at the bottom there's two more.

 

Also spotted is a heated front windscreen button!

Brown leather?
Following the Yeti lead?

I like the look of that - good quality photos as well which help, thanks for that

I think those seats are more ROUGE Graham - they just look brown in those screenshots I took.

I'm not sure Skoda can claim to have invented brown leather seats.

*other manufacturers are available.....

I thought that too but I think the upper strips in the headlights are sidelights.

Most (although I appreciate not all) of the video shows the rear lights turned on.

There are a number of KIA and Hyundai models (Ce_ed and i30) today where the DRL's don't dim or extinguish when the sidelights are on, but do with dipped headlights, not sure how they get around the legislation though!

Great looking car. If the price stays on pair with the actual one, I'm in both feet.

It's more of a 'fashionista's' car, that's for sure.

Great looking design and a big improvement on present model but it is still using the old engine range.

What's an R36?

A Volkswagen car.

What's an R36?

A higher profit margin!

As the previous two replies weren't the answers you were looking for, George, I'll spill the beans as best I can....

 

It's a VW Pasat but not as you know it.   

 

V6 3.6 petrol, Allmotion 4wheel drive, DSG transmission only, saloon or estate, made round about 2008 - 2010.

 

Bit of a beast I suppose you'd say.  If you like that sort of thing.

 

I'm sure someone will correct any inaccuracies and/or add more for your delight and delectation, someone on the site has one.  But maybe not on the Yeti forum :-)

There's two people with one!

Because my mate Alan has one:

 

VW Passat R36

Looks very like a Kuga or XC60.

 

That is until the bloke stands by it and it shrinks somewhat.

 

I quite like it although it could be doing with being made a bit more rugged looking.

Otherwise what is the point of a 4x4?

I love our Yeti and this competitor fails (for me) in the same way many others do. The depth and height behind the front seats is insufficient for our needs. With large dogs and family the box like shape of the Yeti is ideal. Yes the Yeti may be dated in some respects but I have seen very few cars which can quite match its versatility and our requirements in quite the same was as a Yeti.

Ah! Cheers! Both to you OldStan, and t'others who have enlightened this ignoramus. And now that I know what it is/was/could've been I have to say, now, with hindsight, that I am really not interested!! One of those vee-hickles that makes me go y-a-w-n! (Probably out of envy!!)

PS - nothing changes on here, does it?! It's good, tho'!

Ohhhh  so there will be a plug in PHEV version too.  And look how much torque it will have.  Yum.

A choice of two hybrids no less, and both with diesel engines.

They should be interesting.
