Skoda Unveils The Yeti
The Skoda Yeti made its long awaited world debut at the 2009 Geneva Motorshow. The Czech company has confirmed that the vehicle will be available in both front and four-wheel drive.
The 4.2 metre long, five-door vehicle bears the well-known and distinctive features of the brand. An impressive front end with a ribbed grille and stylish headlamps. It has a robust and solid look on 17-inch wheels, while it has fresh styling and a high seating position.
Skoda claims the carefully balanced running gear and agile handling, combined with turbocharged and frugal engines, makes the Yeti fun and dynamic to drive. Two petrol and three diesel engines are on offer. The entry engine is a front-wheel drive, petrol engine with four cylinders and 1.2 litre capacity, which delivers an impressive 105bhp (77kW).
The Yeti is very well equipped for load lugging, too. The luggage compartment volume is highly flexible; up to 1,760 litres is available by removing the rear seats. A luggage cover and net as well as lashing rings are available to secure any load.
