斯柯达Yeti SUV将在09年上市
斯柯达中型尺寸SUV Yeti概念车早在去年四月份就被车厂批准投入量产，不管这款车要等到明年才能正式上市。量产版很可能仍将保留概念版时采用的Yeti这个名称。虽然斯柯达负责技术开发的主管Eckhard Scholz表示，年产的5万辆中绝大部分将是全轮驱动版，但Yeti将有前轮驱动和全轮驱动两种车型。内部人士透露，量产版将在明年的日内瓦车展上首次亮相。Yeti有望搭载大众集团的引擎，入门级车型将搭载一台1.6升FSI四缸引擎，另外还有1.9升和2.0升柴油机，定级款将搭载一台2.0升汽油引擎。该车的底盘和行走机构将与明锐轿车共享。
Skoda Yeti SUV coming in 2009
The Yeti, a mid-size SUV concept approved for production in April 2007, will finally be making it to market sometime in 2009, though the spokesperson wouldn’t guarantee a date.
The car will most likely retain the Yeti name of the concepts that preceded it. Both FWD and AWD variants are expected, though the majority of the 50,000 annual sales will be the AWD models, according to Eckhard Scholz, Skoda’s head of technical development. Insiders believe the car will make its production-trim debut at the Geneva Auto Show in March of next year, reports Automotive News Europe.
The Yeti is expected to be powered by several VW Group engines, including a 1.6L FSI four-cylinder in the base model, a pair of diesels at 1.9L and 2.0L, and a range-topping 2.0L petrol engine. The chassis and running gear will be shared with the Octavia sedan.
