In a podcast of the German magazine Auto Motor und Sport, Skoda CEO Klaus Zellmer said that he is a fan of the Yeti crossover. The top manager hinted that the model can be returned to the range, but not in Europe, but in countries such as India.
Skoda Yeti was based on the RQ35 platform, and after switching to the MQB architecture, they said goodbye to the crossover. However, in the 2010s, Yeti and Roomster emphasized the differences of Skoda from other models of the Volkswagen concern: the Czech two-seaters were more practical, offered more possibilities of transformation and Simply Clever "chips".
It is important to consolidate Skoda's position in India, and the range already includes cheap traditional crossovers Kushaq and Kylaq. If Yeti is really revived, it can become bigger and more capacious, that is, become a local flagship. At one time, the model sold 680 copies.
In the most important Chinese market for Volkswagen, Skoda is not doing well: only about a thousand cars are sold every month. In India, sales for the nine months of 2024 also fell by almost a third to 28 units. But Europe remains the key sales market: in three quarters, Skoda sold 630 cars in this region, which is 12% more than a year earlier.
