Skoda Yeti (09 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 21 July 2009 Last Updated: 15 February 2011 Part family hatch and part 4x4, the Skoda Yeti is an unusual model. It's a similar idea to the Nissan Qashqai and combines the user-friendliness and affordability of a hatchback along with the practicality of a four-wheel drive. The result is a real success, making the Yeti an ideal family car. There's plenty of room inside, especially for rear passengers, while the boot can swallow an impressive amount of luggage or shopping. It drives well too, and excellent ride quality means it's incredibly comfortable over the roughest of roads. The choice of engines includes the frugal 2.0 TDI along with a 1.2 TSI that comes with two-wheel, rather than four-wheel drive. There's even a super-economy model called the Greenline II, that's claimed to be capable of averaging 61mpg. Add in a top quality interior, good levels of standard equipment and the Yeti has even more appeal. 4.5 out of 5 Other Skoda reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery 4.5 out of 5 Summary Tweet New price range: £14,945 - £24,210 View all new prices Used price range: £9,922 - £22,825 View all used prices See 76 new models for sale from £12,998 Get a Skoda Yeti (09 on) information pack Next steps Skoda Yeti cars for sale Use our cars for sale search facility to find great deals on second hand cars.
