Some weeks ago, we reported that Skoda would produce and launch two SUVs in the coming years. We also wrote that the automaker feels that the SUV market is very important and still promising. The SUV from Skoda will be bigger than Yeti and a compact SUV under Yeti is also being planned to launch in the middle of this decade. Unfortunately, we did not get any images of the SUV because Skoda is still in the process of designing it. But recently, Skoda has released the name for one of the SUVs, which is the bigger one that will run above Yeti. Snowman is the name will be used by Skoda for the bigger SUV. They mentioned that the Snowman will be available in 2014 and the smaller one will be launched two years after.
The Skoda Snowman SUV will share the platform with Volkswagen?s Tiguan. It will also bring new design language that has been developed by Skoda and has ever been showcased on their VisionD Concept. There are a lot of benefits will be grabbedby the Skoda Snowman if using the same Tiguan?s platform. Some media even mentioned that the Snowman will apply the drivetrain found under Volkswagen Tiguan?s hood, which is a TDi unit 2.0-liter mated to a 7-speed DSG transmission. With the engine, Tiguan provides up to 170 PS, so the Snowman will record almost the same number.
Just for a comparison, Skoda?s Yeti brings Volkswagen Golf Mk5 and Polo Mk4 components and is due for an upgrade by 2014. The new Skoda?s models are imperative for the Czech automaker?s 2018 growth mission to reach 1.5 million units per annum of sales figure. The new cars will be very important for the company in the three key markets that account for a chunk of its sale, which are China, India and Russia.
