2018 Yeti - spied. So this is what it'll really look like.

[Dr Zoidberg]

I don't believe they will drop the Yeti name as it's very highly regarded. 

If they have registered Karoq that might end up being for the inevitable smaller SUV that will follow the Yeti. 

[Llanigraham]

Agreed. 

What it does suggest is that they are registering names beginning with K. Nothing more.

[Oykkh]

Maybe it Will still be named yeti But autobild sources are often right.. next week at the Shanghai motorshow Maybe we Will have the answer.

Indeed. It's common practice to register extra names that may never be used. Better to "waste" a few small sums of cash early on than pay a fortune to rebrand or buy a name that's taken.

Well that shows it has got front and rear lights! Somewhat a bit light on any details.

Registering a name proves nothing.

And wheels, don't forget the wheels, maybe they have developed a new invisible paint system for factory mules.

Looking forward to the Biggest version from Skoda based on a VW Caravelle, so a proper Party Bus with connectivity. 

A Skoda Karaoqi.

Very nice body lines on the bottom right one

[Wet Kipper]

that's the news story just about that model. Like Auto Express they don't always put all their "feature" stories online

 

I did try scanning the pages, then realised the scanner was only Black and white

From now on, ever Audi driver will be a Dicke Dinger!

Well, if the views are accurate, at least the new Yeti seems to have retained reasonably narrow(ish) C pillars unlike so many SUV's these days. The all round vision was one of the significant factors in my decision to replace my then 6 year old Yeti with another one 12 months ago, rather than going for a Rav4, X-trail, CRV, Kuga etc.

Practicality wins over cosmetic appearance every time for me!

I bet it won't be much different judging by the look of nearly all the small/medium sized SUVs currently on the market, including the latest Skodas.  The days of "quirky" looks as per the original Yeti are long gone in the mass car market.

[Ootohere]

No it will likely be much different, but then Skoda will show what it is when the reveal happens, da da da 'a Kodiaq Mini Me'.

 

Skoda CZ have been leaking the images for long enough as with every other 'New Vehicle' for ever now.

Agreed and most of them are similar to the "renditions" we've seen thus far, hence my comment.
