Looks sooooooooo much better!
If only we could colour code the black pillars.

2 of the many things that drew me to the Yeti:

• The body-coloured B-Pillar & black A, C & D pillar combination
• The big, round foglight/DRL combination and how it intersects the main light shape

The former of these seems to be a total turnoff to many, but I'm glad it stayed. A very distinguishing feature.

The latter of these is gone and, when combined with the overall more angular front end changes which totally don't match the smoothness of the rest of the body, this is a turnoff for me.

But I'm totally gonna get me those B&W badges for front & back.

Those are 2 different grille and airdam treatments that makes me wonder if they will be differentiating further between models or maybe these aren't the final production looks. The colour coded bumpers also make it look different

The interior is not too much different with the standouts being the wheel and new gear lever.

What a massive improvement for relatively little cost.

Not sure what the first article posted but reading media releases from Skoda.

The Yeti will have two models: a Country/Offroad and a City/Urban. From the photos the White one is the City version with color bumpers and skirts, hence not much off road driving but it's still capable. Identically mechanical to the Offroad version which has the original plastic grey numbers and skirting.

Engine wise both will have identical engine specs from the TDI to TSI. AWD and FWD. It's just the exterior looks that sets the two apart.

And regarding the B pillar being the same color as the body, I think it would cost Skoda and VAG a lot more in redesigning four doors to make a new frame... Hence the continue use of prev gen doors and color coated doors...

I still like the look. Wonder if the roof will be body color or black? Has anyone truly experienced a hot interior due to the harsh sun we get in Australia?

I used to have a Black Subaru Outback, and in the 2 summers I've had my Yeti with black roof it has been nowhere near as hot when left in the sun for ages compared to Outback. Same for long drives in the sun - the Outback sometimes would really struggle to keep the cabin cool with all that heat being absorbed.

However this doesn't quite make sense really, since the roof would be where most of the cabin heat comes from - it's not like the black doors and tailgate of the Outback would add that much more IR heat to the cabin than the read doors and tailgate of my Yeti.

So either the last 2 summers were relatively cooler than I remember, or the Yeti AC is more efficient, or there's some other reason.

Looks pretty sleek. Wonder if I could retrofit the new led tails lights onto my yeti......

I think a different roof colour will still be an extra cost option as it is with the Fabia.
