Here are the first official pictures of the updated Skoda Yeti. As you can see, the Yeti gets a much-required minor styling update. The front styling now follows the design language seen in newer Skoda models such as the international-market Rapid, the new Octavia and the updated Superb. The front is now more angular, featuring a new-style signature Skoda grille with the logo that recently made its debut in India with the unveiling of the new Octavia. Also new are the square-ish headlamps, and gone are those chunky, round fog lamps.

These have been replaced by conventional-looking units shaped like those on the new Octavia. The hood is also all-new, as are the front bumper and chin, which are now re-profiled with straighter lines that go well with the new signature Skoda grille and headlamp combo. Skoda will sell the updated Yeti in two variants, namely the the Yeti City and the Yeti Outdoor. In the City version, Skoda has got rid of the rugged-looking black plastic bits on the Yeti in favour of body-coloured elements – this gives the updated Yeti a softer and more upmarket look. The Outdoor variant will be offered with black plastic bits on the exterior for a more rugged look. Moving on to the sides, the overall profile remains the same, but gets a smoother appearance. The alloy wheels also get new designs. Rear styling sees updates in the form of the trunk-lid getting the new triangular kinks which are also seen on the Indian-market Skoda Rapid. The tail-lights are re-profiled and now come with familiar C-shape inserts which could house LED units. Additional styling update on the rear includes a smoothened bumper with re-styled reflectors. Interior updates include a new steering wheel, and minor revisions to the seat fabric and shades. There is no news on any mechanical update and the Yeti is expected to continue with the same engine lineup as earlier. Skoda will showcase the updated Yeti at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.

These are the first spy images of the facelifted Toyota Innova spotted in Indonesia. From the images, it’s evident that the facelifted Innova gets a large chrome grille with three vertical slats. The bumper is also all-new and incorporates a new design for the air-dam, fog lamps and a chrome strip surrounding the fog lamp enclosure. The rear receives minor changes in the form of a thick strip of chrome above the number plate, while an extra set of reflectors are incorporated on either side too. There is no report on whether the interiors get any updates yet, but expect them to receive subtle revisions as well. This is the third update the Innova has received since its launch in 2005 here. The first was a mild update to the lights and bumpers in early 2009, and then the current facelifted version, which was launched in 2011. The facelifted Innova is likely to be shown at the 2013 Indonesia International motor show, which takes place from September 19.

Updates include revisions to the exterior and interior; expect it to be launched here by the end of 2013. Skoda has revealed its updated Superb saloon, which features revisions on the inside and out. On the outside, the new Superb gets a new grille, logo, head- and fog-lights, bumpers, front fenders and bonnet. Skoda has also added bi-xenon headlights with integrated LED daytime running lights, and the rear lights have also been redesigned.

The changes in the cabin include a new four-spoke steering wheel, a new gear lever, new colour schemes and the front passenger seat can also be moved from the rear electronically. There’s also an automatic reverse parking system. The facelifted Superb will continue to be offered with the same engine choices when it is launched here. This includes a 1.8-litre TSI petrol engine, a 2.0-litre TDI and a 3.6-litre V6 petrol engine. The TSI motor comes with the option of a six-speed manual or a seven-speed DSG auto ‘box, while the 2-litre diesel and the 3.6-litre V6 is available with a six-speed DSG only. "The Skoda Superb is the pinnacle of our model line-up and proves its capability as a manufacturer. The present comprehensive facelift has made our top model even more attractive,” says Skoda CEO Winfried Vahland. “The Skoda Superb offers comfort beyond the middle-class standard. This means lots of room, excellent functionality, high comfort, top safety, great value for money and timeless elegance. We are always intent on offering our customers a little bit extra car.” An official launch date hasn’t been announced yet, but the facelifted Superb is expected to hit showrooms here by end-2013.
