German Auto major Skoda is targeting to introduce its sports utility vehicle 'Yeti' in India , besides launching of an advanced version of its sedan Laura.

Skoda unveiled the SUV 'Yeti' at the Geneva Motor Show and the vehicle will be launched in the European market in the next few months with a 1.2 litre petrol engine and a 2.0 litre diesel engine. For the Indian market , Yeti's engine capacity would be tweaked and could come with a 1.8 litre petrol engine.

The company is also considering powering Laura with a new 2.0 litre diesel engine.Laura was launched in India in 2005 with a 1.9 litre diesel engine. The company sells Octavia and Superb , besides the Laura , in the sedan segment in India and it also sells the premium hatchback Fabia. 

"We are thinking of a 2.0 litre diesel engine for the Laura in India. Final decision will be taken when the new Laura will be launched in May-June , " Bogun added.
