The Czech automaker Škoda has taken the design and development of its first production crossover, called the Škoda Yeti, seriously. Having presented their prototype “Yeti Concept” at the annual Geneva Motor Show in 2005, Czech engineers and designers have improved the SUV for a long 4 years and, so to speak, brought it to mind. The premiere of the novelty took place at the same place, in the spring of 2009, and in the fall, the Skoda Yeti was actively supplied to the Russian market. Enough time has passed since the sale to reveal the positive and negative aspects of this car. As part of our review, we will try to find out how successful the debut of the first crossover in its lineup called the Skoda Yeti was.

Owner reviews of design

It is worth noting that from the start of sales in 2009 to this day, the novelty has not sufferedno changes to the exterior. Its front end with four distinctive headlights and the already familiar radiator grille with chrome trim is somewhat reminiscent of the good old Fabia and other well-known Skoda models. In general, each newly-made Czech car comes out very similar to all the others, as if reminding motorists of their "kinship". But back to the review of the design of the Skoda Yeti. Owner reviews say that the novelty has a very original appearance, thanks to which it does not get lost in the crowd of gray cars. A powerful bumper with an air duct, rectangular and round lighting, chrome strips - all this in general creates a positive impression of the exterior of the new Skoda Yeti.

Reviews of the owners about the interior

Inside, the novelty demonstrates high build quality and expensive finishing materials. But still, judging by the reviews of many car owners, the high cost of materials did not save the Czechs from increased noise while driving. The second minus is seen in the unfinished driver's seat, which has an irrational placement of lateral support and rather hard padding, which soon causes driver fatigue. But not everything is so sad, because the novelty has a lot of advantages in terms of ergonomics. First, it is worth noting the functionality and convenience of the adjustable steering column, which can easily be adjusted to the height and width of the driver's hands. Secondly, the dashboard of the new model has a well-thought-out placement of all measuring instruments,thanks to which the dashboard becomes informative and at the same time does not bear excessive strain on the eyes. It is also worth paying attention to the well-planned design of the torpedo and the center console of the Skoda Yeti car: the owners' reviews say that these elements do not have any drawbacks at all in terms of ease of use. In general, the interior of the novelty came out on a solid "4".

Skoda Yeti: price

The minimum cost for a Czech crossover is 739 thousand rubles. The most expensive equipment will cost off-road lovers almost one and a half million rubles.

Summing up, we can say that the new "Skoda Yeti" 2013 did not become a "lump" in the line of Czech crossovers, and it has every chance of continuing to exist.
