According to announcements, the Skoda is preparing a new, full-size SUV, which should have all the features of the midsize SUV, Skoda Yeti. Skoda Yeti was first introduced in 2009. It was accepted great, because it had a very good ratio of price and quality in the SUV market. Skoda Yeti was made at the Volkswagen PQ35 platform, but the new large SUV will be designed on the MQB platform. As soon as it appeared in 2009, the Yeti was named “Family Car of the Year” by Top Gear magazine. What is one of the main features of this model is the security that is rated with 5 stars, so that a new large SUV will continue to evolve in the direction of increased safety. 2016 Skoda SUV design and exterior New 2016 Ford SUV should appear next year. Still not sure how it will be called, but there are indications that the new name of this model will be Skoda Snowman. The internal name used in the development of the new model is “A Plus SUV.” There is still little information about the external appearance of Skoda Snowman. Since it was announced that resemble the Octavia, we can expect a tougher line in front of the vehicle. There will be a 17-inch diameter wheels. Its likely to be produced in two variants: with five and seven seats. The new model will be 40 cm longer than Yeti SUV. As will have a major length of 4.6 m, it will, without any problems, be able to have the three rows of seats. The technology that will be applied is based on another large vehicle VW Group: VW Tuareg. 2016 Skoda Snowman interior and engine The interior will be similar to other large VW vehicles. Snowman will have advanced equipment, it is expected automatic climate control, rear camera, driver’s seat will be suitable for larger people, parking sensors, seat heaters. On the front is expected color screen 5 inches wide. Yeti had the option of adding as many as 11 airbags, according to the announcement, the smallest number of airbags for new Snowman will be a seventh. Will be offered several types of engines. Assumptions are that it will be petrol engines: four-cylinder 1.4-liter and the 2.0 TSI engines which will have a power output of 150hp and 180hp. From diesel engines, the offer will be 2.o TDI with an output of 184Hp. I think it would be good for Skoda to incorporate engine of 3.0 liter TDI, because Snowman is big vehicle, but we will see what will eventually be found in the offer. The drive will be on the front wheels with the option of all wheel drive. 2016 Skoda Snowman price and release date Price Skoda Snowman for the European market will be 24,000 euros. New Skoda Snowman will go on sale in late 2015. The new Skoda SUV model will initially produce only in the Czech Republic, but probably it will be produced in other plants of the VW group. http://2017bestcars.com/2016-skoda-snowman-specs-pictures-release-date.html
