Was filming the #Dacia Jogger Hybrid for CarGurusUK yesterday, and pondering the vid bloke’s faithful Skoda Yeti. Is the Jogger (and Duster, I guess!) the new Yeti? Good value, practical, weirdly cool?

Vicky Parrott CarGurusUK The Yeti was the remake of the Element. Nothing that shape has come since (which is tragic in a sea of generic SUV toss).

Jonny Smith CarGurusUK Agreed. While hardly a budget car, I thought the Merc GLB/EQB was probably the closest modern version of the Yeti’s box design. Jogger/Duster seem closest in nature, though, if not as good to drive. Shame that, with so many SUVs out there, none hit the mark like the Yeti did.

Vicky Parrott Jonny Smith CarGurusUK What about the Kia Soul? Two box design, higher driving position, quasi-off road look in the higher Explore model, and now EV only. (Can you tell I’ve been spending some time with one lately???)

Bryan McMorran Vicky Parrott Jonny Smith CarGurusUK That’s the key thing that makes the Yeti, Element and Jogger so special, though…
