With the high performance and peaceful inhabitant of dizzying, Skoda Yeti make the people never tired to talking about mythical creature who is. 2010 Skoda Yeti has the strong body and geared to move low difficult condition. The Skoda Yeti’s designers make this car become the fifth model range and would combine these virtues with assorted portion of Skoda Yeti’s features.
People hit never tired of talking about that mythical creature who, with his white fur coat and sharp teeth, lives high up in icy mountains. Although they hit never met him, people ease speak with great conviction of their encounter with that peaceful inhabitant of the dizzying heights, who is said to hit shown many a lost soul the route from the regions of eternal ice to the country of the valley below. At Škoda Auto we are celebrating a new member of our model range, which has been given the name of that helpful snowman: The Škoda Yeti is launched. The choice of name truly has a deeper significance. The Škoda Yeti is strong, geared to move low difficult conditions and help its passengers along where others give up. But it has the edge on the original Yeti: Unlike him, it is also happy in warmer areas, finding its way not just in difficult terrain and off road, but with equal confidence and assurance on the road.
These were precisely the aims its designers had in nous during Škoda Yeti’s development: The fifth model in the Škoda arrange would combine these virtues, which have so far been realised by cars in completely different segments, but not found together in one vehicle. That is, the handling and driving comfort of conventional mid-range vehicles, combined with brilliant off-road capabilities. That such a vehicle should also provide above-average space, high carrying power and a coercive towing capability has raised the stakes considerably.
The result marks a new chapter in the extremely diverse history of Škoda. Although in the past there were a number of off-road vehicles in the long-established Škoda brand, they never even remotely met the high demands of uncompromised suitability for driving on normal, public roads as well as off-road that Škoda Yeti does.
The first notable Škoda off-roader was a prototype of the Škoda Superb 3000 – Kfz 15 (type 956). From 1942 to 1943, it was built as a saloon with a 3.1 litre, in-line, six chamber engine and quaternary wheel drive. The type 973 off-road container was produced from 1952 to 1956 and left its mark thanks to its off-road suitability, a wading depth of 600 millimetres, a rise capability of 85 per coin and superior handling on the road.
Yeti takes Škoda’s experience of more than 100 years of automobile development, concentrating and honing it in a comfortable and powerful vehicle, setting newborn standards in the auto SUV segment. Škoda Yeti comes to mart with fivesome wide-opening doors, making access to the traveller compartment and case storing easy. In addition, permanent, intelligent, power-distributing four-wheel intend and connector clearance of 180 millimetres makes Škoda Yeti suitable for off-roading.
Škoda Yeti’s coverall length of 4,223 millimetres allows drivers to fit into even those parking spaces that are far from generous, patch its width of 1,793 millimetres guarantees that the doors crapper be opened wide in tight spots. And if the terrain becomes rough and more challenging, the thin stature of the Škoda Yeti ever finds a gap to get through. Dimensions are a height of 1,691 millimetres, unladen weight with utility of 1,520 kilograms (1.8 TSI 4×4) and a load of at least 545 kilograms, with flexible rush volume of 416 litres to 1,760 litres. A peak lodging weight of 1,800 kilograms makes Škoda Yeti a safe and hardworking towing vehicle.
In the auto SUV segment, the Škoda Yeti encounters seasoned competitors, such as the Kia Sportage, the Hyundai Tucson, the Nissan Qashqai and Suzuki Grand Vitara. Škoda Yeti claims leadership in this very popular, but densely populated, class. Apart from its superior off-road properties and handling characteristics in town, on country roads and motorways – which in no artefact lag behind those of the auto sector – the newborn Škoda possesses the youngest engine arrange in the segment. This ensures peak fuel economy and the lowest possible emissions.
Škoda Yeti’s developers believe the SUV collection crapper only achieve lasting success with an environmentally sound and affordable engine strategy. Therefore, Škoda Yeti’s engine arrange is based on Škoda’s downsizing strategy, reducing power patch at the same crescendo performance, thanks to highly sophisticated forced induction. High force at baritone engine speeds results from this innovative power unit development.
At the same time, consumption is lowered, easing the strain on Škoda Yeti drivers’ wallets, and engine emissions drop, making a momentous contribution to the reduction of CO2, NOX and HC. Škoda Yeti wants to be at bag in nature and, therefore, not endanger it. For motorists who may not poverty permanent four-wheel drive, Škoda Auto also offers Yeti in front-wheel intend versions. The generous connector clearance of the newborn auto SUV still ensures better and safer progress on poor, rutted tracks.
ŠKODA YETI SHOWS WHAT IT IS CAPABLE OF: THE DESIGN
Škoda Yeti wants to show what it is capable of. Its typical off-road organisation features mark it discover as a self-confident and assured consort in routine life as well as for special tasks. But the fifth Škoda model line nevertheless bears attributes typical of the brand and gives the newborn auto SUV a clear family identity, which was already apparent in the organisation study shown in 2005. Above all, this effectuation the evocative rib-shaped grille with the distinct chrome touch and the Škoda logo centred above.
From the grille, feature lines run up the bonnet; loosening up the surface and finding their visual counterpart in the inland centre console. Large headlamps, fitted far up, wage Škoda Yeti with character, disposition the face end a friendly look.
The lateral analyse is dominated by clear and serene lines, patch the distinctly projecting wheel arches and wings confer on the auto SUV a unique case and the lower body protective panels are classic hallmarks of a container with off-road capability. The black C pillars and roof rails as accepted round soured the robust shape.
The rear organisation is just as unfussy. The rear lights are C-shaped and the smooth, plumb tailgate opens easily and far upwards, so even tall drivers have no problems stagnant underneath it when it is raised. The tailgate window appears to wrap around the body encouraging the impression of a continuous window surface to the B pillar. This is a strong reminder of the visor optics that have become the key feature of the Škoda auto class. At the face and rear, underbody protection strips signal Škoda Yeti’s off-road suitability, patch face fog lamps enhance the face view.
The functional organisation of the 4,223 mm long and 1,793 mm wide body emanates lightness. Although the lateral view, with its prominent wings, 17″ impureness wheels and 180 mm connector clearance give Škoda Yeti a robust look, it by no effectuation appears cumbersome. The visual impression is confirmed by a countenance at the data. The minimum weight of the Škoda Yeti 1.8 TSI 4×4 with utility is 1,520 kilograms. The 103 kW (140 bhp) diesel-powered variant adds only 25 kg.
VERSATILE AND ATTRACTIVE: THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
Intelligent packaging (the configuration of the traveller compartment and the composing of the individualist units or components) has given Škoda Yeti an coverall height of 1,691 mm and a wheelbase of 2,578 mm, resulting in very generous traveller space. These are saint conditions for comfortable travelling. The high-quality atmosphere is also amplified by an superior pick of materials. Easy-to-handle switches and buttons, covers and trim, which blandish the senses at every touch, are only some of the attributes which secure Škoda Yeti a advance in its class. Shapes and emblem have been carefully matched with each other and the controls possess the typical Škoda organisation – the auto SUV reveals straight away to which clan it belongs.
The face seats have a long, adjunct base beatific lateral hold for unforced driving. The higher equipment versions include driver’s lumbar hold and automobile centre adjustment. The curb is height- and reach-adjustable, so however tall or small Škoda Yeti drivers are, everyone crapper find a comfortable and, above all, safe place at the controls. The increased centre height provides increased visibility and yet still makes getting in and discover very easy.
Rear centre passengers sit another two centimetres higher than their face centre companions. This creates a “platform effect”: as in the cinema, you have an superior analyse from the rear seats over the heads of utility and face passenger. Rear centre flexibility and richness is increased by the VarioFlex centre concept. Thanks to the rear centre system, Škoda Yeti achieves inland variability so far unmatched in the auto SUV category. The three separate rear seats crapper be individually folded or removed, the outer seats crapper be moved lengthways and – with the middle centre removed – also sideways by 80 millimetres. This converts Škoda Yeti from a fivesome to a quaternary seater, but increases the rear centre shack to executive class.
Thanks to this variable inland concept, Škoda Yeti crapper tackle the most demanding transport tasks. With the rear seats removed, its rush holds up to 1,760 litres of luggage. Standard equipment includes, among other things, a case cover, load lashing rings and nets to secure case – all a matter of course for Škoda cars. For the equipment level Active, with perturbation ordered the net programme is acquirable as an option. In addition, there are a sort of smart solutions which simply but effectively boost routine richness and safety. For instance, the fastening grouping in the rush with its moveable hooks saves time when weight and prevents case from moving around during the journey.
HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED, FRUGAL AND POWERFUL. TWO PETROL ENGINES AND THREE DIESEL
Škoda Yeti’s engine arrange includes fivesome four-cylinder units with a performance spectrum from 77 kW to 125 kW (105 bhp to 170 bhp). It includes two petrol and three diesel units, which all meet the EU5 requirements.
The base edition is the 1.2 litre TSI petrol engine, which is used for the first time in a Škoda. This completely newborn power unit delivers 77 kW (105 PS) and provides its peak force of 175 Nm between 1,500 and 3,500 rpm. Customers crapper choose between the manual six-speed gearbox or the innovative seven-speed DSG.
The second petrol engine in the Škoda Yeti arrange is the muscular 1.8 TSI quaternary chamber with 118 kW (160 bhp). It reaches its force peak of 250 Nm at very baritone engine speeds. The greatest pulling power is supplied between 1,500 and 4,500 rpm. Fuel consumption of this version, which is combined with permanent four-wheel drive, averages 8.0 litres per 100 kilometres (189 g/km CO2 emissions). This reduced consumption is due to measures such as a two-stage oil pump which, up to 3,500 rpm, works with a pressure of 1.8 forbid and above that, if more oil is needed for lubrication, with 3.3 bar. An additional, second lambda sensor effectuation improved wear quality, as the injection sequences and quantities crapper be controlled more precisely. Crankcase bearings, piston rings and further moveable engine components have been modified to reduce friction to optimum levels.
Also newborn for Škoda Yeti is the 2.0 TDI diesel range, acquirable in three performance levels, all with direct common-rail injection and diesel particulate filter as standard. The base edition is the 81 kW (110 bhp) engine followed by 103 kW (140 bhp) unit. Maximum force of 250 Nm and 320 Nm, respectively, is provided from 1,500 – 2,500 rpm and 1,750-2,500 rpm. Combined consumption for the 103 kW (140 bhp) edition – with permanent four-wheel intend as accepted – is 6.1 litres diesel per 100 kilometres, which effectuation a CO2 emission of 159 g/km.
The top power unit of the diesel trio is the 125 kW (170 bhp) quaternary chamber with its strapping force of 350 Nm, reached between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm. Combined consumption over 100 kilometres is just 6.1 litres (159 g/km CO2). Exhaust gas recirculation, which – depending on revolutions and engine load – returns up to 60 per coin of the burnt mixture to the intake air, and a catalytic converter guarantee baritone wear gas values. On all four-wheel intend engine versions, the six-speed manual gearbox is supplied, with only the 2.0 TDI CR DPF/81 kW paired with a five-speed gearbox.
Petrol engines:
* 1.2 TSI 77 kW/105 bhp (front-wheel drive) – 6-speed manual gearbox / 7-speed DSG
* 1.8 TSI 118 kW/160 bhp (4×4) – 6-speed manual gearbox

FUN TO DRIVE AND DYNAMIC: RUNNING GEAR
The suspension set-up guarantees that Škoda Yeti is dynamic and fun to drive. Yeti is characterised by very agile handling with high country reserves. An elaborate face axle organisation and a light-weight rear axle with beatific road stability attain utility and passengers feel safe and wage outstanding ride comfort.
Yeti’s streaming gear uses the Group module, which is also found in the Škoda Octavia and the Octavia Scout. The face suspension is McPherson strut, with wishbones. The multi-link rear axle has been modified compared with that of the Octavia. Its road is 30 mm wider and, in connection with a 23 mm diameter torsion stabiliser, clearly reduces body sway in cornering. This configuration is same on both front-wheel intend and permanent four-wheel intend versions. The rear axle is mounted on a subframe, connected via quaternary flexible mountings to the body, which damps acoustic transmissions and vibrations. Škoda Yeti’s fuel tank holds 60 litres of fuel, allows a momentous travelling range.
The base Škoda Yeti runs on 16 inch wheels and 215/60 R16 tyres, providing perfect off-road streaming and beatific suspension comfort. Higher equipment levels have 17 inch impureness wheels and 225/50 R17 tyres as standard. Tyre dimensions were chosen to wage the highest possible ride richness – beatific off-road traction as well as very beatific handling on normal roads. Škoda Yeti’s connector clearance is coequal to that of some large SUVs, thus contributing to superior off-road capability.
ŠKODA YETI – AT HOME ON AND OFF-ROAD
Thanks to connector clearance of 180mm and a four-wheel intend grouping that incorporates a fourth-generation Haldex clutch, Škoda Yeti saint for those who poverty to venture soured the beaten track.
Škoda Yeti’s four-wheel intend grouping is based on the same technology introduced in the Octavia Estate 4×4 and the Superb 4×4 earlier this year. The electro-hydraulically controlled Haldex multi-disc aggregation is located in the same housing on the rear axle as the final intend and the rear axle differential.
On dry roads, 96% of the engine’s force is delivered to the face wheels. However, if Škoda Yeti’s electronic curb unit and its army of sensors detects a difference in speed between the face and rear axles, the Haldex aggregation crapper divert up to 90% of the force to the rear axle. Thanks to the fitment of a limited slip differential on the rear axle, intend is also distributed evenly from lateral to side, ensuring superior grip and stability on all roads at all times.
The grouping relies on a network of sensors to deliver accumulation to the bicentric curb unit. These devices constantly analyse information coming from the engine curb unit (which contains accumulation relating to revs and throttle pedal position), the ABS and ESP systems (which also capture information on wheel speed, brushwood light switch and acceleration forces), and also the curb wheel turning sensor.
The Škoda Yeti’s four-wheel intend grouping works in conjunction with both the ABS and ESP systems to ensure that country and stability is maintained at all times. When the ESP grouping is engaged, curb of the Haldex aggregation is taken over by ABS/ESP curb unit. When the ABS grouping is called into action, the Haldex aggregation is decoupled.
To attain the most of Škoda Yeti’s four-wheel intend system, Škoda has added an off-road mode, which makes dynamical on loose surfaces easier and more secure. Press the dashboard-mounted off-road button and the ABS, TCS and EDL systems switch to a special off-road setting. Once engaged, the accelerator responds more sensitively when pulling away on loose surfaces, patch the operating parameters for the pulling-away supporter and hill start supporter are widened.
The hill start supporter also helps discover when degressive steep slopes. Through gentle, automatic application of the brakes, the grouping maintains a constant speed, allowing the utility to centre fully on curb Škoda Yeti downbound the slope.
SAFE AND SECURE, WHEREVER YOU DARE TO DRIVE
Safety has been a key consideration throughout Škoda Yeti’s organisation and development. Despite its comparatively baritone kerb weight, Yeti has been engineered to protect both its occupants and pedestrians.
The organisation of the body has been geared to meet the requirements of EuroNCAP crash tests, along with the some assorted country standards in non-European markets. Thanks to the use of high strength steel which channels impact energy away from critical areas in a controlled manner, Škoda Yeti’s traveller cell offers a strong survival space for passengers in the circumstance of an accident.
Škoda Yeti also gives vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, high levels of protection in a collision. The face of the automobile has been fashioned to incorporate a country zone between the bonnet and the hard components of the engine. This is fashioned to reduce the seriousness of the injuries in a head or thorax impact.
All Škoda Yeti models are armored with ABS with Mechanical Brake Assist (MBA) and the engine force curb (MSR). ESP is included on all 4×4 versions patch up to nine airbags (which includes a utility knee airbag and rear lateral expose cushions) protect passengers in the circumstance of an accident.
If any of the airbags are deployed, the fuel and power supply to the engine are automatically cut – reducing the venture of fire – patch the bicentric locking grouping opens the entranceway locks and the inland light is turned on.
Škoda Yeti also provides comprehensive traveller protection in the circumstance of a rear-end collision. Active face head restraints help to prevent whiplash to the utility and face passenger, patch the brushwood lights flash to warn other drivers if an emergency stop is carried discover at speeds above 40mph.
Isofix anchorages for female seats are fitted in the rear, and are acquirable as an option for the face traveller seat. If a female centre is fitted to the face seat, the traveller airbag crapper be switched off. Finally, accepted daytime streaming lights attain Škoda Yeti even more visible to other road users.
