2015 Skoda Yeti launched in Australia

In India, the Yeti will be made available only with a diesel engine with an option of all-wheel-drive (AWD) and two-wheel drive like the current model. The engines will be the same 2.0-litre TDI unit and will produce 108bhp for the two-wheel-drive model and 138bhp for the AWD variant. Skoda has also launched a new variant called ‘Yeti Outdoor’ a more rugged version of it. Although, the chances of this model coming to India are minimal, it could add a bit more flair to the Yeti’s range. 

The updated car gets a new grille, rectangular-shaped headlights with optional bi-xenons, LED daytime running lights at the front, C-shaped lights with optional LEDs and a refreshed tailgate at the rear. Unique alloy-wheel options are also offered on the all-new Yeti and four new shades of colour have been added to the brochure. The interior gets a new steering wheel, new dashboard trim, additional fabric seat trims and patterns. The optional extras include an automatic parallel parking system and a rear-view camera. 

The Yeti now doesn’t look quirky like it used to before, it had a lot of useful features like a flexible rear seat and was a very practical vehicle. But, it didn’t sell enough to do justice to its capabilities, that’s what Skoda will want to change with the refreshed model. We can expect the car to be launched during the festive season this year.
