Skoda are celebrating a production landmark after the 500,000 Yeti rolled off the Kvasiny assembly line in the Czech Republic.

First launched in 2009, the Skoda Yeti has gone on to be a popular choice with SUV buyers, undergoing a comprehensive redesign two years ago. Available in both front and all-wheel drive, the Yeti is also produced at plants in China and Russia.

“Achieving a production figure of half a million Skoda Yetis is yet another milestone for the Kvasiny plant”, said Michael Oeljeklaus, Skoda Board Member for Production and Logistics.

“Since its introduction, the Yeti has delighted customers in Europe and the international markets.  We owe this success not least to the team in Kvasiny.  It is with their technical skills, their expertise and the highest commitment that they essentially shape the excellent reputation of the plant. Over the next few years, Kvasiny’s production volume will increase significantly. SUV production is going to play an important role in this.”
