All of the refreshed Yeti models get new front and rear bumpers, new wheels and improved interiors.

“The Skoda Yeti is one of the most attractive compact SUVs on the market and has far exceeded our sales expectations since its launch four years ago. With this all-new look and being offered for the first time in two variations, we are establishing new benchmarks. We plan to continue our outstanding development in this rapidly growing vehicle class," said Skoda CEO Dr.  Winfried Vahland.

The Yeti gets new, horizontally focused grill and redesigned rectangular headlights with bi-xenon lights and LED running lights. At the rear gets a new tailgate and taillights with optional LEDS. There are also four new colors - Moon White, Jungle Green, Metal Grey and Magnetic Brown, and there are also new wheel designs.

The only change on the Outdoor version is that the bumpers, underbody guards, side guards and doorsills are black plastic instead of body color.

The interior gets a new three-spoke steering wheel, new seat fabrics and new dashboard trim. There is a new option package that adds a rearview camera and automatic parking assistant. Other new features include a panoramic sunroof, dual-zone air conditioning, heated seats, cruise control, heated windshield and power-adjustable driver's seat. 

To improve the car's practicality, the refreshed Yeti gets double-sided floor mats, a detectable LED light in the rear and safety vest holder. 

Seven engines will be available with either front- or all-wheel drive. They range from the 1.2 TSI with 104hp to the 2.0 TDI with 168hp. The cleanest version is the Greenline with 103hp and a six-speed manual transmission that emits 119g/km of CO2 and uses 4.6l/100km. There is also the Green tec version with the 1.4 TSI with 121hp that adds start/stop, regenerative braking and low rolling resistance tires.  All engines are available with a six-speed manual and depending on the engine, they are also available with either a six- or seven-speed dual clutch transmission.

Skoda has not announced pricing for the new model yet.
