I did not catch exactly at what point manufacturers began to be shy about the technical characteristics of their cars. Apparently, since all their diversity has been reduced to a dozen or two common platforms ... In any case, there are simply no tables with numbers on dealer sites now. You will be shown the interior a hundred times from all angles and told about the unusually attractive sound of the new audio system, but you will not find the clearance height and trunk volume. Try it yourself, honestly.
So it was necessary to find out what ground clearance the Skoda Yeti with the off-road name "Outdoor" had on completely extraneous resources. And it is equal to 180 mm. It's not that small, but...
In general, let's go in order. The Outdoor version of Yeti appeared with a restyling in 2014, when the crossover lost its charming round “peepholes”, having received ordinary faceted headlights “like everyone else”. Personally, I felt sorry for the lost originality of the look, but the brand's marketers know better. Probably, this is how it sells better - originality is not in trend now.
So, at the same time, two branches were divided - Skoda Yeti simply and Skoda Yeti Outdoor. And, if you thought that the first version is with a monodrive, and the second is with a full one, then you are clearly not a marketer. Because it's not like that at all. Both versions have a completely identical set of trim levels: the same engines, the same transmissions, and so on. There are all-wheel drive idle time"and single-drive Outdoor. So how do they differ? Body kit and marketing positioning.
Outdoor is equipped with a body kit made of unpainted plastic that protects body parts. Yes, yes, that thin black stripe at the bottom.
Does it make it more passable - answer this question yourself. However, it will allow you to drive through tall grass or a shallow snowdrift without fear for the bumper paint.
And it's all? - you ask ... - Damn it, yes! A black stripe of unpainted plastic, a lot of marketing - and we have two models on the market instead of one. Powerful sorcery...
Skoda Yeti never claimed to be a serious "rogue" - it is a "city-dacha" mode car (with an emphasis on the "city"), and not an all-terrain vehicle for a hunter and fisherman. The fashionable word "crossover", which is now called any model that you want to sell at a higher price, does not mean anything in itself. Strictly speaking, it's just a relatively tall wagon. Especially when it comes to monodrive, which I had on the test. 1.4 liter turbo engine with 122 hp plus a seven-speed DSG robotic transmission - a great combination for the city, acceptable for the highway, but far from optimal for off-road. Remember, ground clearance is deceptive - it will allow you to go further than you would in a city car with low-profile Pirelli road tires ...
You should be especially careful with the sand ... The turbo engine does not really like to drive tight, the robot in the transmission does not always understand what you want from it ... - in general, this time the Yeti had to be pushed out by hand.
An all-wheel drive version, in which there are a bunch of electronic assistants, would have coped without difficulty, a single-wheel drive version with mechanics would have made it possible to show driving skills, a diesel engine (two-liter TDI) would have been pulled out by a tractor traction of 250 Nm, but this particular combination of engine and transmission for loose coatings is very intolerant. Yes, that's basically all we have to say about "Outdoor". Now actually about Yeti.
The high popularity of this car is associated with qualities that are by no means off-road. This is a well-balanced urban crossover (since the manufacturer prefers this word), which, first of all, allows you to feel comfortable in the city and on the highway. The car steers well, confidently holds the road at high speeds and in maneuver, and most importantly - it is damn comfortable.
After restyling, a new generation steering wheel from Octavia appeared in the cabin. Perhaps it is prettier and more comfortable than the old steering wheel, although it was pretty good. Decorative overlays have changed, and materials have become of better quality, but in order to notice this, you already need to carefully look closely, comparing with the pre-styling model. Otherwise, the interior remained the same - the VarioFlex transformation system, which was its main advantage, was completely inherited in the updated car. Everything leans back, shifts, is regulated and even taken out.
The driver sits comfortably, and all controls are in place. Which, in general, is not surprising - the Skoda Yeti is a single-platform with the Tiguan, and many technical (and not only technical) solutions migrated to the Czech car from the German one. Typically German tight seats with good lateral support, pleasant to the touch plastic and well thought out controls. Two degrees of freedom at the steering column, lift and reclining seat cushion.
Excellent multimedia system, well-thought-out climate control, a bunch of drawers and "glove compartments"
Nice Dashboard:
All sorts of nice things:
Well, technical specifications, in the end, should not worry the buyer. This is a modern approach to the car - after all, you are not interested in what type of motor is in your coffee grinder? Okay, okay, the Skoda Yeti in Russia has two diesel and three petrol engines, a six-speed manual transmission and two DSG boxes.
All engines are turbocharged, and all-wheel drive, in case you do not spare money on it, is implemented by the fifth generation Haldex clutch. (By the way, I also had a chance to test all-wheel drive, and I would not spare money on it if I were you. All-wheel drive makes Yeti much better. Especially with a diesel engine ...)
Of course, you can get a wide range of options for your money, up to premium ones, such as, for example, a parking assistant. A crossover with it can independently park both parallel and perpendicular to the curb. (For me, this, however, is too high a degree of trust in technology, I am not yet capable of this. So I would get by with a rear-view camera - it is also in the options, as well as parking sensors.)
But the trunk (whose capacity in liters will have to be looked for!) Is not at all as large as you expect from a large station wagon. With the rear seats pushed back - only 310 liters. (415, which used to be written in prospectuses - this is with the rear sofa shifted all the way forward, plus this includes the volume of the underground, where the spare wheel is - marketing!).
At the same time, under the floor - just a dokatka ...
Where did the space go? Four-wheel drive ate it - the rear axle differential forced the designers to raise the floor. Yes, it is not in this configuration, but there is a place left for it ... - this is another reason to pay extra for 4x4. It's a pity to lose a place just like that.
Now for the prices. Unlike the characteristics, they are quite available on the dealer's website:
Engines | Ambition | elegance |
|
1.2 TSI 6 speed Manual / 105 HP | |||
1.2 TSI 7 speed DSG / 105 HP | |||
1.4 TSI 7 speed DSG / 122 HP | |||
1.8 TSI 6 speed DSG 4×4 / 152 HP | |||
2.0 TDI 6 speed DSG 4×4 / 140 HP |
By the way, the equipment that was on the test cost something around 980 thousand, that is, in fact, a million. Once it seemed a little expensive for a Skoda, but now almost all cars of this level cost around a million or more.
Conclusions:
At the moment, in terms of price / quality ratio, the Skoda Yeti seems to be a good choice. Not cheap, but good. This is a popular, dynamic, pleasant to drive, comfortable for the driver and passengers of the uni ... - okay, okay - a crossover. All the familiar owners are satisfied with it, and it invariably makes a good impression on me.
By cons, I’ll only take a small trunk, well, a high price. As for cross-country ability, then if this parameter is critical, you are looking in the wrong class of cars. The prefix "cross" in the word "crossover" is a philological accident.
Well, in spite of marketing - a table of technical characteristics!

What are the differences between Skoda Yeti Monte Carlo and Yeti Outdoor?
Let's start a little from the side. What is profitable to buy is not entirely clear wording, it all depends not on Monte Carlo or Outdoor, it all depends directly on the configuration.
Second moment. If you are buying a new car, I don't understand why you need this ancient antique. Moreover, the model is very ambiguous and with its own specific design. It has already been removed from production, replacing it with the Skoda Karoq.
If to the point of the question. with the technical part, you need to understand and compare the two cars on which you stopped your attention. If it’s quite simply Outdoor - an off-road version, a plastic body kit around the perimeter, increased ground clearance, additional protection of the engine compartment and a few more of its goodies, Monte Carlo is a pseudo-sport version, just don’t look for technical differences from the serial one. All in embellishments. Black roof, mirrors, rims, as well as seats with stripes, a steering wheel with red stitching, door sills and pedals and carbon-look plastic. Plus, there is a spoiler in front, a diffuser in the back. But don’t look for a forced engine, a sports box there.
To understand what is beneficial, take into account the features of the exterior, I wrote about them, and also find out what kind of drive, it can be front or full, engine and gearbox. There are options depending on the seller. And if it’s simple, then Monte Carlo is a sports version, and Outdoor is an off-road version. I could not resist, all the same looked into the technical specifications. So Monte Carlo comes with a six-speed dual-clutch robot and all-wheel drive, a 1.8 petrol, in-line, turbocharged four based on the EA 888,. Outdoor in this configuration is the same, but additionally with front-wheel drive, five-, six-speed mechanics, automatic, 1.4 and 1.6 liter gasoline engines. Well, the price will vary depending on the configuration. If we take equivalent models (all-wheel drive, 1.8 and 6 DSG), then Outdoor from 1,400,000, and Monte Carlo from 1,250,000 rubles. And this is for an obsolete crossover, although with a German engine, gearbox, suspension (the platform is good, but ancient), but it was produced in 2009 and the restyling was done in 2014. An antique that was discontinued in 2017. You decide. although the car is decent. And I approve the choice, the Czech Volkswagen with its exterior design, interior and Czech approach. For that kind of money, if we are talking about a new crossover, I would ask when the sellers will have a Skoda Karoq. A brand new SUV and such a cutie.
SHOWHOLD
Parquet crossover or a full-fledged SUV?
In recent years, Skoda has completely rethought its marketing strategy. That is why all the already developed models have been redesigned, and in addition, several completely new types of cars have appeared. Among them are S koda Y eti O utdoor. The car was to the taste of the European public, but in our country it is not very popular. What is the reason? The most obvious answer is prejudice, since Czech stables are usually associated with inexpensive city cars. This is not worth doing for a variety of reasons, let's start with the configuration.
What is hidden under the hood?
Y eti O utdoor 2014 is visually different from its older counterpart from 2010. But apart from the body, no significant changes have occurred. There are four types of gasoline engines to choose from:
- turbocharged 1.4 TSI with 122 hp and transmission from DSG;
- multi-injector 1.6 MPI with 105 hp and mechanical transmission;
- multi-injector 1.6 MPI with 105 hp and automatic transmission;
- turbocharged 1.8 TSI with 152 hp and transmission from DSG.
It is immediately worth noting that only the latest version has four driving wheels. At the same time, the average fuel consumption is only 8 liters per 100 km. Acceleration to hundreds in 9 seconds, which is an excellent indicator for a car with a mass of 2 tons.
Features of behavior on the road
Without exaggeration, the main advantage of S koda Y eti O utdoor is the chassis. The McPherson front suspension provides a smooth ride, while the rear is equipped with a multi-link system with a stabilizer. Such a system allows you to smoothly overcome even very serious obstacles in off-road conditions.
An ABS brake system is installed, the front brakes are more sensitive due to the floating stupor. Although the electronics distribute the load on the wheels evenly at the moment of braking, it should be borne in mind that the front wheels wedge faster, therefore, during emergency braking, the car does not stretch forward, but goes into a skid. But that's not a problem, as the responsive electro-hydraulic steering keeps the car in complete control.
The 16" wheels are fitted with 215mm tires. This allows you to hold well even a slippery road. At speed, there are no problems with control.
Additional features
This time, Skoda abandoned the traditional three types of equipment and added one more. The following modifications are available to choose from:
- active;
- Ambition;
- elegance;
- adventure.
Active is the most standard build. It has no special frills, mirrors, wipers, fabric seat upholstery and a modest plastic side panel. There is not even a radio, only 4 speakers are installed. The security system is also not happy, there are no side airbags in front, ABS is installed only for a manual transmission. The climate equipment also leaves much to be desired, since only air conditioning and a stove are installed. On the other hand, 15,000 c.u. it's not so much to demand more.
Ambition already looks more interesting, but it also costs $3,000. expensive. In addition to the standard set, the buyer is offered a folding picnic table, a powerful Swing stereo system with 2DIN, CD, MP3, and eight speakers. Installed indicators Maxi Dot, which suggest the situation on the road and the distance to obstacles. The climate is maintained by the Climatronik system. Unlike the previous modification, here Skoda did not save money and supplied alloy wheels.
Elegance is the most advanced version, which includes many useful gadgets, as well as the most modern stereo system and seventeen-inch wheels. Not very practical in terms of replacing rubber, but original and stylish. In addition, there is cruise control. Which is quite convenient on the road.
Zest
If you delve into the topic in detail, you can find quite a lot of test drives that describe the achievements of S koda Y eti in the field of off-road conqueror. But those who decide to test their car in real conditions are often forced to order a tow truck and go to the service station on foot.
The fact is that all reviews are based on the experience of driving the Adventure modification. It includes everything the same as in Elegance, but in addition to this, the Offroad system. It completely reconfigures all electronics and mechanics of the car, optimally adapting its parameters to driving conditions on open ground or in mountainous areas.
First of all, the ABS and ESP settings change. When braking, the wheels do not wedge at the same time, each of them clings to the ground independently. This is very effective in rough terrain where contact with the coating leaves much to be desired. The driving dynamics are completely changed.
But the main secret is not even in this, the designers from Skoda went to the trick and slightly increased the ground clearance. As a result, the car can be considered a full-fledged SUV. Reverse switching from Offroad, it becomes parquet again. Fuel consumption drops from 11 to a claimed 8 liters per 100 km.
For music lovers, this version provides another interesting feature, the stereo system control buttons are mounted in the leather steering wheel, so you can switch songs or search for radio stations without looking up from driving.
In addition, Skoda has implemented another useful solution in this version. A universal valet equipped with a rear-view camera will help you carefully park your car as close to the curb as possible or help you find a place among other cars near a large shopping center.
From private to general
Let's go back to the cabin again and see what is in each Y eti configuration. First of all, it is worth noting the original VarioFlex system. The Czechs decided not to save on the luggage compartment, it turned out to be 405 liters, while taking care of the comfort of passengers.
They got used to the rollers on the front seats, but Skoda went further and installed a similar system on the rear seats. This allows you to adjust the distance from the backrest to the front seat. The length of the guide rail is 15 cm. If you use this function, the usable volume increases to 510 liters.
In addition, it is possible to fold not only the rear seats, but also the front passenger seat, which allows you to conveniently transport long overall lengths.
Additional equipment
If we talk about the shortcomings, then only one comes to mind - loading height. Loads weighing 20 or more kg are quite difficult to lift 70 cm from the ground. You can solve the problem with the help of special rails, but they are purchased for a fee. In addition, you can order folding tables in the seats and additional boxes for storing tools or things.
In general terms, we can conclude that Y eti O utdoor is a full-fledged, multifunctional SUV, which, for its 20,000 USD. simply has no competition.
On the other hand, the rest of the modifications are just an imitation of a real all-terrain vehicle; in fact, this is a typical representative of parquet jeeps. Given some functional features, this car can be recorded in the TOP 10 budget family cars.
We have worked hard and collected for you the most popular and objective test drives, and we will also present you with several video reviews of the brand new Czech car Skoda Yeti. Skoda Yeti takes first place among all crossover cars among Czech automakers, which were announced in 2009 at the motor show, which was held in Geneva (Switzerland).
Immediately in 2009, sales began on the territory of Ukraine and Russia. Already at the next world automobile exhibition in Frankfurt in Germany, the automaker Skoda presented its customers with a new, updated version of the Skoda Yeti. The model was updated only on the exterior, which is mainly noticeable if you look at the front of the car.
Fog lights will now be located directly in the bumper itself, and the equipment of lighting devices is made of xenon and LED daytime running lights. Future buyers will definitely be pleased with a wide range of power devices. Skoda Yeti presented 4 diesel and 3 petrol models in its assortment.
For Russian car lovers, only one diesel version of the car will be available, which is equipped with all-wheel drive and a 2.0 engine. Power 140 horsepower, automatic transmission. The base engine of this car is a 105-horsepower 1.2-liter gasoline four with a turbocharger. It is adjacent to a 6-speed manual transmission or a 7-speed automatic transmission. Skoda of this series has many advantages, which were officially confirmed on test drives of cars. The car in any of the configurations is fully equipped with modern technology. Also, future buyers are captivated by a wide range of economical and powerful engines.
But, many experts also noticed the shortcomings of this crossover from Skoda.
One of the main disadvantages is that gasoline-powered vehicles are very sensitive to the quality of the fuel being poured. Also, the downside is that the rear levers are quite low.
Skoda Yeti has been familiar with large test drives for a very long time and continues to “close communication” to this day. The car was on a test drive for over 12 months. So what has changed in the car with its restyling? For the general development of the Stillavin program, Sergey and his friend Vakhidov Rustam went to a factory that produces crystal products, visited a simulator of an ordinary passenger aircraft. And also found time to communicate with an old friend - Boryan.
Test drive Skoda Yeti 2016
More recently, Skoda began producing an updated version of the Yeti, a crossover type. And this can only indicate that very soon we will be able to see this car on our roads. The pre-sale of the new Skoda Yeti started at the end of last year. That is why we present to the public a review and a list of tests of the brand new Yeti.
Externally, the car, after the completion of all the renovation work, has not changed much. One of those devices that have acquired a new look are steel: the latest LED optics and PTF, which finally changed their non-standard eye-shaped round shape, and also shifted an order of magnitude lower to the bottom of the car.
After making such changes to the appearance, the car managed to become more solid and serious. But many regret that there will no longer be such a cheerful baby Yeti. Probably, just such updates were made, with the expectation that the car would begin to attract the attention of an older and more intelligent buyer, unlike the previous version, which girls and young people liked more.
In general, the design of the Skoda Yeti has acquired a more modern look, and its improvements to the exterior have become the most successful changes in the entire history of the car, especially from the commercial side. Because the car looks like an Audi and a Volkswagen at the same time, it will definitely draw a lot of attention to itself. It is worth noting that the Skoda Yeti has not lost its authenticity. Skoda plans to release a car in two versions: for off-road and city driving. In addition, the cars will differ in color options and their design solutions.
If we talk about the internal changes in the design of the car, then we can say with confidence that it has not changed much. The new version of the car differs from its predecessor only in a couple of interior upholstery options, an improved steering wheel (which was taken from the brand new Skoda Octavia), as well as several decorative overlays.
The list of innovations includes a keyless access system to the cabin. The most valuable to this day for the automaker Skoda remains the duration of operation, quality and functionality in their cars. That is why no big changes can be expected in the Skoda Yeti. By the way, during the tests of the car, one serious minus was revealed, namely, when lowering the driver's seat to the lowest position, sitting in it is simply unrealistic, no comfort. This was not even able to positively affect, excellent visibility for a couple with space above the driver's head. It is this minus that makes the car uncomfortable for tall drivers.
Skoda Yeti once again proved that he is the perfect family car. A more distinctive feature was the presence of Vario Flex systems, which makes it possible to transform the space in the cabin in any convenient way, and the car also has a huge number of recesses for various little things. The presence of electronic systems and 9 airbags makes the car safe.
Technical part of Skoda Yeti
In the technical part, the four-wheel drive and gearbox have changed. Skoda Yeti is equipped with all-wheel drive with Haldex clutch of the new, fifth generation: it is smaller and more resistant to temperature changes. Skoda also officially announced the improvement of the gearbox mechanics, as well as software. Absolutely nothing has changed in the engine lineup, unlike the engine-transmission combination and vice versa. 1.2 TSI 105 horsepower, front-wheel drive system. The gearbox is either a 6-speed or a robot with seven gears. 1.4 TSI 122 horsepower, front wheel drive 7 speed robot. 1.8 TSI 152 horsepower, four-wheel drive, 6-gear robot. 2.0 TDI 140 horsepower, all-wheel drive, DSG-6.
Skoda Yeti test
To carry out T eat drive Skoda Yeti over the restyled model, the choice fell on a 1.8 petrol engine, 160 horsepower, as well as all-wheel drive and a 6-speed gearbox. Brothers in the shop, Octavia and Superb with the same engine behave perfectly on the road. I wonder how the restyled Skoda Yeti will prove itself.
The engine of a new car is so silent that it is almost inaudible in the car, except at a speed of 150 km / h and more. The engine responds quickly to pressing the pedals, which makes its owners very happy. This car takes too long to pick up speed, especially at low and medium speeds, but above 5000 rpm, it starts to correct the situation a little.
It is clear that it is impossible to compare such different Skoda Yeti and Skoda Octavia mainly because of the difference in mass and aerodynamics. In principle, the feeling of this machine is good. You will be able to fully experience all the advantages of the brand new Skoda Yeti on the motorway at speeds above 130 km/h. Off-road, all the charm of all-wheel drive is felt. Fuel consumption during the tests reached 15 liters per 100 km - this is a very good indicator.
Handling of the new Skoda Yeti
The new Skoda Yeti is a car that will bring pleasure not only to an adult, but also to a young girl who has just received a driver's license. A considerable number of electrical systems that will make your ride as easy as possible and make it comfortable. Even in the event that the car goes into a skid, it will return to “full circles” with lightning speed and drive on.
Naturally, some disadvantages were also found. When turning, the car begins to “roll” very much, and the braking system could also be improved. The car's suspension and 17-inch alloy wheels will not let you miss any pit, stone, so it's much better to slow down in time or, at least, end up with "square" wheels. Of course, the Skoda Yeti has not so many cons, and besides, the tests were carried out far from the best roads in the world.
If we take the basic configuration with the 1.2 TSI engine, for four cylinders 77 kW - more 710 thousand rubles. This package includes: climate control, 4 airbags, stabilization system, ABS, power mirrors, automatic windows of the first row and so on. If you want to have a navigator, an alarm system, then you will need to pay extra for this. The next option is OutDoor, the cost is over 710 thousand rubles. With 1.4 TSI 90 kW engine with front wheel drive.
For both of the above configurations, you can choose from, choose the appropriate drive, whether it be front or full. And you can also choose the engine you are interested in (7 variations). If you want the car to have a dual-clutch automatic transmission, then you will need to pay extra.
In order to personally verify how the new Skoda Yeti behaves on tests, we provide you with an updated new Skoda Yeti 2017 video test drive. A pleasant surprise was when the presentation of the new Skoda Yeti finally took place at an exhibition in Germany in Frankfurt. At this exhibition, the car attracted a large part of the audience, both auto critics and ordinary drivers, despite the large selection.
Our tests were carried out in order to make an analysis of the declared technical and dynamic characteristics of this crossover vehicle. In order for the results to be as honest as possible, we will take into account our photos and videos, and also compare all this with the reviews of motorists, that is, yours.
Undoubtedly, the first country after the Czech Republic, in which a new Yeti appeared, was Sweden. The sale of Skoda Yeti started at the end of last year. In Russia, sales are expected, but prices are already known. The predecessors of this car became generally very successful in Russia, Ukraine and in many countries of modern Europe. The first generation of the Skoda Yeti, as we remember, began to be produced in early 2009. A few years later, the company analyzed all its mistakes and decided to correct them, also highlight the advantages and hide the existing shortcomings. The updated Skoda Yeti attracted new fans with its new external solution. Also, new options began to appear, which correspond to all international standards, the design of the disks has changed, the interior upholstery is made of high quality materials. Skoda Yeti - is available in 2 variations - one is designed for off-road, and the second for urban driving.
A lot of the responses from the critics of the automotive world were sarcastic, especially to the headlights of the predecessor Skoda Yeti, and to us, for example, they were very pretty. You probably already noticed in the photos and videos that these headlights are no longer there. The front of the car has not changed at all. By tradition, there are ordinary headlights, and the PTFs are located directly in the bumper, which have acquired a rectangular shape. If you trust the reviews, then the car has gained a more serious and presentable look. But unfortunately it no longer has any zest. But all Skoda cars differ from others in their features, which directly scream that this car belongs to Skoda. And our Skoda Yeti also did not become a black sheep.
What will happen if we discard all the predecessors and fully concentrate only on the new Yeti. To do this, let's study it from photos and videos, and then compare everything with the technical characteristics that were announced by Skoda with the data received.
Testing of the car will be carried out on the most ordinary Skoda Yeti, but it is worth remembering the brand new Skoda Yeti OutDoor. Outwardly, from the regular Yeti, it differs only in black protection, which simply closes some body elements so that there are no collisions with the earth's surface. The regular Yeti from Skoda has the same protection, although painted in the color of the car, it is slightly smaller in size. The clearance of the car is 18 centimeters. This did not affect the performance of the car in any way, which was fully confirmed by our tests and feedback from car owners.
A car from the Czech Republic became the owner of four headlights of conventional lighting that are in front of the car. Rounded headlights perform two functions: daytime running lights and PTF. Rectangular headlights took over the dipped and main beam. For an additional fee, bi-xenon headlights can be installed. The radiator grille is edged with a chrome frame, which unequivocally paints the car. The ribs on the hood of the Skoda Yeti are decorated with a special Skoda logo. A distinctive feature of this car is a huge bumper, which perfectly complements the PTF. It looks good due to the frilly body lines and air intakes. All this is pleasant both to us and to the owners of the car.
With regards to the profile of the Skoda Yeti, no changes, as we all see, have occurred. And if you think that they are not very noticeable, relax, there were no changes. Updated only 16-17 wheels. Also added some flowers.
Trunk size is a fairly important criterion when choosing an SUV, so the luggage compartment must be huge. The new Skoda Yeti has a brand new door, with unusual lines that lead to the license plate recess. There is lighting in the trunk. For an additional fee, you can install LED lighting in the luggage compartment. The minimum volume of the trunk depth is about 410 liters. If you fold the rear seat, the volume will increase by 100 liters. If you completely remove the seats, the trunk will be more than 1700 liters.
Now it's time to talk about the interior, a review of the interior will make it easier to view photos and videos. The salon also practically did not acquire innovations, except for a brand new steering wheel, which was “slammed” from the third generation Skoda Octavia. All materials from which the interior trim is made are of high quality. But testing the car and many reviews from Skoda Yeti car owners identified one drawback, on bumpy roads, a creak is heard almost throughout the cabin.
Let's also turn our attention to the driver's seat, which has not found an ideal fit and also remains uncomfortable. Therefore, it is highly likely that after a long trip you will have a terrible backache. Between the second and first row of seats, the distance is more than a meter, so even very tall people will be comfortable to ride there.
Innovations
The restyled Skoda Yeti has more options than its predecessor, among them are:
- An important function is heated seats.
- The ability to park and reverse is greatly simplified thanks to the installation of a camera.
- Button start.
- The parking assistant will allow you to park even in the most crowded underground parking.
- Parktronic.
- Removable flashlight.
- Dual zone climate control.
- Heated windshield and wipers.
- Technical equipment.
We already have information about the cost of the car, we also examined what kind of interior Skoda Yeti is. Now it is worth considering the dynamic as well as technical characteristics, and then draw conclusions about the running characteristics that were demonstrated during the tests. To all people who plan to buy a Skoda Yeti from Sweden in the future, you should know that you will have the opportunity to choose a car that is so functional that it will be absolutely comfortable to drive.
There are 7 types of cars, 3 petrol, 4 diesel. There are also three types of transmission: 6-speed, 7-speed and 6-speed robotic gearbox. Two drive to choose from, front and full. There are three types of engines: 1.6 liters 105 horsepower, 2.0 liters 110/140/170 horsepower - diesel. Petrol 1.2 liters 105 horsepower, 1.4 liters 122 horsepower, 1.8 liters 160 horsepower.
This test was carried out on a 1.8 liter gasoline car with a manual 6-speed gearbox - the cost of which is approximately 980 thousand rubles. This cost fully met our expectations, as well as the expectations of the owners of Skoda Yeti. The car is very brisk on the road.
Testing was carried out on a brand new and not run-in machine. Fuel consumption on such a car is 8.5 liters per 100 km. The car on which the test was conducted was all-wheel drive. Skoda Yeti perfectly keeps the distance. You can not find fault with the management of this car. The car obeys the steering wheel perfectly. For some owners, the suspension of the car seems too uncomfortable. The suspension is very sensitive to bumps and pits, which are too many on our roads.
On the road, the car shows itself perfectly. We can draw such conclusions based on the question: Will this car be in demand, taking into account all the characteristics presented? Undoubtedly, it will be due to the updated design. Many will be confused by the pricing policy of an “expensive” configuration, but there will still be fans of even such a car assembly.
