Skoda Starts Production of New SUV Yeti

This is for the first time the Czech Republic is going to produce our very own SUV car.

According to Skoda, “It’s designed to look friendly and self-confident but not aggressive”. It is meant to be “convincing in an urban environment”, but “could also be a sought-after means of transport in countries with a less than perfect road system.”

It was first introduced in 2005, but as there is no predecessor, there were doubts where, and if at all, it is going to be fabricated. It comes as a surprise, that it is going to be made not in Germany VW fabric, but in Czech city Kvasinky. The production here was defended, even despite of free capacities of other VW factories in Europe. What is more, Skoda is going to re-open an old Skoda fabric in Vrchlabi, and will be hiring.

This news means strengthening of Skoda position on the world’s markets, and good news for Czech automobile workers, because of new labor. And, last but not least, those who can afford SUV won’t have to choose from forign producers only.
