The big news at Skoda is the comeback of the Yeti. To be launched in the second half of 2014, the facelifted Yeti features a new nose and revised tail. The most notable changes to the front are the wider grille and the bi-xenon headlamps with LED daytime running lights incorporated into them. The bonnet and the bumper are new as well. At the rear, the tail-lamps now get LEDs. The Indian Yeti is based on the Yeti Outdoor version and that means, like before, it will get black plastic cladding along the lower bits of the bumpers, side claddings and side moldings. It also gets new equipment in the form of a keyless entry and go system in addition to the electrically adjustable driver's seat, cruise control and tyre pressure monitoring system.
As before, the Yeti will get two engine options, both 2.0-litre diesels putting out 108bhp and 138bhp. The lower powered version will be come with a five-speed manual gearbox and front-wheel drive while the 138bhp spec brings with it a six-speed manual and all-wheel drive.
Skoda also showcased the facelifted Superb. The nip and tuck bring the Superb up to Skoda's new family look with the butterfly grille, reshaped headlamps and foglamps, re-profiled bumper and new bonnet. The bi-xenon headlamps come with integrated LEDs and the top Elegance trim features power washers. At the rear, the tail-lamps are part LEDs and the number plate has been moved to the boot-lid from the bumper.
There's not much change to the inside, the new three-spoke steering being the most noticeable difference. The Superb, too, will continue with the same engines -- the smooth 1.8-litre, 158bhp turbo-petrol and the 2.0-litre, 138bhp common-rail diesel.
