Another smaller SUV is also expected to be launched by 2016 which would be a follow-up to the current Skoda Yeti. The Technical Director of Skoda, Eckhard Scholz mentioned that the company’s products are absent from some volume segments and for that purpose the company is hashing out both the MPV and SUV segment.
