Quite like the idea. What do you think?

 

Would there be a 4x4

I like the concept, but what will its size vs inside space be.

The current Yeti is very upright so plenty of room inside, but I gather the new Yeti is going to be bigger so is this effectively a Fabia sized equivalent. What worries me is possibility of going style over practicality. It's in soon to be crowded market.

For me it will come down to engines and gearbox. As someone who lives in outer suburbs of London, a decent petrol auto is a must (especially with the recent and rapidly increasing anti-diesel sentiment in these parts). If they don't offer this from day 1 it deserves not to succeed

I think it looks good hopefully slightly bigger than the fabia. Petrol 1.4 (150bhp) dsg and 4x4 would be excellent.

Don't like SUV's,they usually look ungainly,pretentious and ostentatious and that's probably also a description of the sort of person that buys one.

So an Auto Express article revised in Oct 2016 with the comments for that article from 2 years ago.

 

What is the word from the Skoda CEO now in charge, are they building a Fabia SUV / Baby Yeti and when will it be available to buy?
