Yeti - TopGear Family Car of the Year
As TopGear said "The Yeti is a rare thing; a car that puts a smile on your face" And it's that exuberant character that makes the Yeti so hard to pigeonhole. TopGear chose Family Car over SUV, perhaps because they also predicted that "It'll be another member of the family in no time". In fact, they went even further and named it their TopGear Family Car of the Year.
The Yeti's unseen features are equally compelling to those in the know. Like the haldex clutch which automatically compensates when the going gets rough; and the multitude of airbags (you can deactivate the passenger one to fit a child seat), so reassuring if safety is at the top of your check list.
Furthermore, every time one gets out of the Yeti, you hear and feel that resonant thunk as the door closes. It's a signature of quality you'll never experience from the Yeti's mass-produced competitors.

Safety First
As you’d expect, safety is a priority with Yeti. It comes with a driver airbag, plus a passenger airbag that can be deactivated to fit a child seat up front. The front side airbags protect the pelvis and chest of the driver and passenger in the event of a side collision. The head airbags create a wall along the side window in the front and rear, and there’s a driver knee airbag as well. |

At Home Off Road
The Yeti comes with a 4th generation Haldex clutch as well as an optional off-road mode to help you maintain complete control in rough terrain. The off-road mode comes with a number of functions such as hill descent assistant or start-up assistant, and ABS, ASR and EDS systems that adapt to driving conditions. |
