Introducing the All-New SKODA Yeti

For the first time ever, the Czech compact-SUV will be available in tow variants: as the elegant and stylish SKODA Yeti for the town, and an adventurous off-road SKODA Yeti. Both design variations of the SKODA Yeti feature a new front and rear, new alloy wheels, fresh interiors, new "Simply Clever" ideas, the highest functionality and extended engine/gear combinations. Both models are to be unveiled at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September and by the end of this year, both new SKODA Yeti variants will have been launched on the first markets. A special highlight is the first time offer of two individual design ranges. A significant differentiation: the front and rear elements, such as bumpers, underside guard, side mouldings and door sills are either in the body colour, or as with the SKODA yeti outdoor version, remain in black plastic. The new fronts of both vehicles are now horizontally more accentuated and feature a distinctive grille and redesigned headlights, available as an option for the first time with Bi-Xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights.

The new rear has a new layout with a new form of tailgate with distinctive tail lights now in even more precise moulded C-Design, optionally available with LEDs and in line with the new SKODA look, two cubist triangular elements alongside the new SKODA logo.

The new Yeti models feature an all new fresh interior, with new 3-spoke steering wheels in seven variations, new fabrics and patterns for the seat covers as well as new decorative trims on the dashboard.

There is a selection of four diesel and three petrol engines for the all-new SKODA yeti, all turbocharged and with direct injection. The performance spectrum ranges from the 1.2 TSI with 77 kW and 105hp to the 2.0 TDI with 125kW and 170hp. With an automatic transmission, the Yeti exclusively uses the modern six or seven-speed dual clutch transmission.

There is an even larger selection of engine/transmission combinations. The diesel engine 2.0 TDI with 125kW is available with the fantastic combination of all-wheel drive and automatic six-speed dual clutch transmission. The front-wheel drive Yeti 1.6 TDI 77kW is now to get an automatic seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The Yeti is the brand's first model with Optical Parking Assistant, an optional rear-view camera. This is the first time the SKODA yeti will feature the latest generation of the automatic parking assistant. The new system enables the Yeti to automatically reverse and parallel park and even pull out. The new SKODA Yeti also features the automatic lock and start system for the first time.
