2011 Skoda Yeti 4×4 Edition

People who never tired of talking about that mythical creature, with her white fur coat and sharp teeth, live on top of the mountains. Despite never having met him, people still talk with great conviction of his encounter with the peaceful inhabitant of the dizzying heights, which is said to have shown the route many lost souls from the regions of perpetual ice for the safety of the valley below. Škoda Auto is celebrating a new member of our model range, which was given the name of this doll helpful: Škoda Yeti is released. The choice of the name actually has a deeper meaning. Škoda Yeti is strong, move toward, in difficult conditions and help their passengers along where others quit. But it has the advantage over the original Yeti: Unlike him, who is also happy in warmer areas, finding your way and not just in difficult terrain and off road, but with equal confidence and safety.

These were precisely the objectives of its creators had in mind during the development of the Skoda Yeti: The fifth model in the Škoda range could combine these virtues, which so far have been made by car in totally different segments, but not found together in one vehicle. That is, the handling and ride comfort of conventional mid-range vehicles, combined with brilliant off-road capabilities. A vehicle must also provide space above average, high load capacity and towing capacity has increased considerably the risk.


The result marks a new chapter in the history of Škoda extremely diverse. Although in the past had a number of off-road brand Škoda long time, they never even remotely met the highest standards of adequacy unattached to normal circulation, public roads and off-road Škoda Yeti does.

The first notable off-roader was a prototype of the Škoda Superb Škoda 3000 – Kfz 15 (type 956). From 1942 to 1943, was built as a lounge with a pint 3.1, in line six-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive. The type 973 off-road vehicles were produced from 1952-1956 and made his mark thanks to its off-road ability, a shallow depth of 600 mm, a climbing capacity of 85 percent and excellent handling on the road.

Škoda Yeti has experience of more than 100 years of car development, focusing on and perfecting it in a comfortable and powerful vehicle, setting new standards in the compact SUV segment. Skoda Yeti enters a market with five wide-opening doors, access to the passenger compartment and luggage, easy to store. In addition, permanent, energy, intelligent distribution of four-wheel drive and ground clearance of 180 mm makes Skoda Yeti suitable for off-road.

Skoda Yeti length of 4223 mm allows drivers to fit even those parking spaces that are far from generous, while its width of 1,793 mm ensures that the doors can be opened wide in tight places. And if the terrain becomes rough and hard, lean stature of Skoda Yeti will always find a loophole to get through. The dimensions are a height of 1691 mm, light weight engine with 1,520 kilograms (1.8 TSI 4×4) and a load of at least 545 kg, with a flexible boot volume of 416 liters to 1,760 liters. The maximum trailer weight of 1,800 kg makes Skoda Yeti a towing vehicle insurance and worker.

In the compact SUV segment, the Skoda Yeti encounters experienced competitors such as the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, Nissan Qashqai and Suzuki Grand Vitara. Skoda Yeti claims leadership in this very popular, but densely populated class. In addition to its excellent properties and off-road driveability in town, on country roads and motorways – which, without lag far behind those of the compact sector – the new Škoda has the youngest age group in the motor segment. This ensures maximum fuel economy and lower emissions possible.

Škoda Yeti developers believe that the SUV class can only achieve lasting success with a strategy for environmentally sound and affordable engines. Therefore, the range of Škoda Yeti engine is based on the strategy of Škoda downsizing, reducing capacity while increasing performance on the same, thanks to sophisticated forced induction. High torque at low engine speeds results of this innovative development of the power unit.

At the same time, consumption is reduced, easing the pressure on drivers’ licenses Škoda Yeti, and a drop in engine emissions, making a significant contribution to reducing CO2, NOx and HC. Skoda Yeti wants to be at home in nature and therefore not endangered. For drivers who may not want permanent four-wheel drive, Škoda Yeti also offers front-wheel drive versions. The generous ground clearance of the new compact SUV also guarantee progress better and safer for the poor, rutted tracks.


Skoda Yeti wants to show he’s capable of doing. Its design features typical off-road brand him as a fellow self-confident and secure in daily life as well as for special tasks. But the fifth line of Škoda models, however, has attributes typical of the brand and gives the new compact SUV from the family of a clear identity, which was already evident in the study of the project presented in 2005. Above all, it means that the grid-shaped rib evocative with chrome surround and separate the Skoda logo centered above.

From the grid lines run feature above the roof, dropping the surface and find its visual counterpart in the inner center of the island. large headlights, equipped so far, provide Škoda Yeti to the character, lending the front end of a friendly look.

The side view is dominated by clean lines and cool, while the wheel arches and prominent wings distinctly give the compact SUV a unique character and the protection panels lower body are classic characteristics of a vehicle with off-road capability. The black C-pillars and roof rails as standard round out the robust way.

The rear design is so uncomplicated. The rear lights are C-shaped and tailgate, smooth vertical easily opens up and away, so even if drivers have no problems when standing underneath it when it is generated. The rear window seems to involve the body to encourage the impression of a continuous surface for the window pillar B. This is a stark reminder of the optics of the visor, which became the main feature of the compact class Škoda. On the front and rear underbody protection strips signal Škoda Yeti off-road ability, front fog lights, while improving forward vision.

The functional design of the 4223 mm long and 1793 mm wide body exudes lightness. Although the side view, with outstanding wings, 17 “alloy wheels and 180 mm soil Škoda Yeti to give a robust appearance, it does not seem that complicated. The visual impression is confirmed by a look at the data. The minimum weight Skoda’s Yeti 4×4 1.8 TSI with driver is 1520 kg. The 103 kW (140 hp) diesel variant adds only 25 kg.
