Yeti - Auto Express Driver Power 2012 Survey Champion
When Auto Express UK carried out their Driver Power Survey for 2012, over 29,000 owner reviews put the Yeti in the championship spot overall and winner in 3 categories - reliability, handling and ease of driving.
In their most recent online review of the Yeti, the Auto Express Test Team gave it a 5 star overall rating and stated "The ŠKODA Yeti has it all: rugged off-road looks, affordability, impressive dynamics and a spacious cabin". Top all that off with an NCAP 5 star safety rating and the Yeti leaves any motorist wanting for nothing.
Proving itself an all-rounder, the Yeti has also been awarded internationally as TopGear's "Family Car of the Year" and locally as the AA Motoring Excellence Awards "Small Crossover 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 the 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 TDI 4X4 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. |
