Volkswagen and Skoda have planned a large-scale SUV assault on the Indian market citing the ever- growing demand for these vehicles. One of the first models to arrive from Skoda will be the all-new VisionS-based SUV, unofficially known as the Kodiaq, in 2017. Next on the list is the yet-to-be-revealed new Skoda Yeti.

While a number of Skodas have shared a close link with VW cars in the past, the new Yeti is closely linked to another VW Group car – the new Seat Ateca.

While the final form of the car hasn’t been officially released, Skoda has all but confirmed that the new Yeti will be quite different from the current car which was clearly quite off-centre. More traditional in its dimensions and general approach, the new Yeti will be longer, larger and more spacious on the inside. The length of the car is expected to be 4.36 metres and it’s likely have a wheelbase that measures approximately 2,600mm.

The next-gen Skoda Yeti is expected to make its public debut sometime in 2018 with an India launch to follow.
