Yeti Facelift leaked

[BJ75]

I still like the look. Wonder if the roof will be body color or black? Has anyone truly experienced a hot interior due to the harsh sun we get in Australia?

I used to have a Black Subaru Outback, and in the 2 summers I've had my Yeti with black roof it has been nowhere near as hot when left in the sun for ages compared to Outback. Same for long drives in the sun - the Outback sometimes would really struggle to keep the cabin cool with all that heat being absorbed.

However this doesn't quite make sense really, since the roof would be where most of the cabin heat comes from - it's not like the black doors and tailgate of the Outback would add that much more IR heat to the cabin than the read doors and tailgate of my Yeti.

So either the last 2 summers were relatively cooler than I remember, or the Yeti AC is more efficient, or there's some other reason.

Looks pretty sleek. Wonder if I could retrofit the new led tails lights onto my yeti......

I think a different roof colour will still be an extra cost option as it is with the Fabia.

What is this Yeti built on? The platform?

Its on the PQ35 which is used for Golf V, Tiguan, Q3, Octy Mk2 etc

So the cabin space, front two seat area is larger than the Fabia? I take the Roomster is the one based on the Fabia and not the Yeti...

correct and correct

"The Roomster is Škoda's first car since the Volkswagen Group's take over of the brand that is not based entirely on an existing Volkswagen Group platform - although it is fundamentally based on the A4 (PQ34) platform, but with some unique additions.^[1] It shares components with the previousŠkoda Octavia^[2] and the current Škoda Fabia."

New Yeti is out.
The New Å*KODA Yeti - Å*KODA

A country cousin and a city cousin.....

Like all facelifts, styling is always seems compromised to me when new body bits are added to old body bits.
