The Autocar magazine reports that the
Skoda Yeti small SUV will finally make it to assembly line. Set to reach
Skoda's dealerships by mid-2009, the
Yeti will have virtually zero rivals since even the
Volkswagen Tiguan and
Renault Koleos will look like giants in comparison to the junior Czech SUV. Its only serious competitor will be the
Suzuki Jimney 4x4, known for its Spartan contempt to driver's comfort.
Posted by: nektotigra on 15/05/08 The vehicle, the magazine
says citing Martin Hrdlicka,
Skoda's head of chassis development, will be based on
Skoda's own platform, sharing not a single part with
VW's models. Perhaps, the small SUV will be built using some components of the new
Skoda Fabia and the
all-road Octavia Scout station wagons.
The Czech car manufacturer is still unsure on the vehicle's name, though. "
It might be Yeti or it might not be," Autocar quotes Hrdlicka.
