Generations

Originally debuting in 2009, the Skoda Yeti has been through two generations. Following the warm reception of the original models, a Yeti Outdoor model was added in 2014 for drivers desiring a more rugged vehicle. Production of the Yeti ended in 2017, with the Skoda Karoq taking its place.

Second Generation (2013-2017)

The biggest change with the 2013 Yeti was the redesigned bonnet with rectangular headlights and an underbody shield that helped to convey a bolder appearance. It also features a blacked-out door frame and C-pillar that makes the SUV look larger than it actually is. From an interior standpoint, the Yeti received a new steering wheel design and an updated infotainment system.

First Generation (2009-2013)

Originally a concept car, the Yeti was designed to be a practical SUV built on the same platform as the VW Golf. The fog lamps mounted inward to create a unique appearance, while the nearly perpendicular windshield made the Yeti look taller. The boxy look is only said to make it stand out that much more on the road.
