The 2017 Skoda Yeti has been spied undisguised in
the Czech Republic. The spy shots which were captured by Auto.cz reader Peter, indicate
that the 2017 Skoda Yeti looks almost like a smaller Skoda Kodiaq from the
sides and back.
The all-new Skoda Yeti looks just
like the Seat Ateca up to the C-pillar, behind which there’s a much bigger
quarter glass. The tail lamps have a striking resemblance to those
of the Skoda Kodiaq. The new generation Yeti is indeed “dramatically different”
from the outgoing model.
The 2017 Skoda Yeti is expected to pack the same
three- and four-cylinder TSI petrol and four-cylinder TDI diesel engines as the
VW Tiguan and Seat Ateca, with displacements ranging from 1.0- to 2.0-litre.
6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch automatic are the expected transmission
choices, while front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive are the confirmed
drivetrain layouts. Like the Kodiaq, the all-new Yeti may get Scout and
Sportline variants later during its lifecycle.
The 2017 Skoda Yeti will reportedly have its world
premiere at the Geneva Motor Show next month and likely go on sale in Europe
later this year.
