斯柯达内部人士透露，车厂2017年将发布欧规昕锐中期改款车。现行版是2012年在欧洲上市的，至今没有进行任何改款，因此这款小型快背车将进行改款也就毫不奇怪了。这次升级还将包括昕锐Spaceback。更重要的是，斯柯达还将在2017年推出第二代野帝，该车将于下半年上市。新车预计将在9月开幕的法兰克福车展亮相。新车将与老款车有很大不同，由于新车不再采用PQ35平台，而是使用MQB平台，因此车重将大幅降低。新一代野帝仍将采用现行版的方正造型，但斯柯达设计主管透露，新车某些元素将借鉴更大的科迪亚克。虽然新车减重，但车身尺寸更大，内部空间更宽敞，行李箱容积更大。

 

Skoda Rapid facelift and all-new Yeti due in 2017

A Skoda insider has told us 2017 will be the year when the Euro-spec Rapid is going to receive a mid-cycle refresh. The current version has been on sale on the old continent since 2012 without any significant updates, so it doesn’t come as a big surprise the small liftback will receive a nip and tuck. These updates will be carried over onto the Rapid Spaceback as well, but probably not right away.More importantly, the second-generation Yeti will also be unveiled in 2017 and we have it on good authority it will go on sale in the second half of the year. Likely to debut in September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it’s going to be a significant departure from the outgoing model as it will eschew the PQ35 underpinnings to make the switch to the MQB platform set to bring a significant weight loss.

 

The boxy shape of the current Yeti will be retained to some extent, but Skoda’s design chief has revealed the new model will borrow some styling cues from the larger Kodiaq. Despite the planned diet, the new crossover is going to be bigger than today’s model and that will pay dividends in terms of cabin space and cargo area where Skodas are known to shine.
