Skoda Australia said that the next-gen Skoda Yeti will be “dramatically different” from the outgoing model.

It seems like the next-gen Skoda Yeti will go for a more conventional design and that it would have a VW Tiguan body with Skoda front and rear fascias. Automotive illustrator Shoeb Kalania has depicted the second generation model with this speculation. Similarly, the interior should mimic the flagship Skoda Kodiaq.

Expect the same three- and four-cylinder TSI petrol and four-cylinder TDI diesel engines in 1.0- to 2.0-litre displacement to power the redesigned SUV. 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic should form the transmission choices, with front-wheel drive as the standard drivetrain layout. Higher-end models will have an all-wheel-drive system.

Skoda will unveil the next-gen Skoda Yeti in mid-2017, meaning that its European launch should happen in the final quarter.
