The SKODA YETI (2009-13) 5DR SUV 1.8 TSI 160 EU5 LAURIN & KLEMENT 6SPD 4WD is a compact five-door SUV, roomier and taller than a family hatchback but less bulky than a large 4x4. It bridges small SUVs and family cars in the UK market, with four-wheel drive for extra reassurance. Laurin & Klement trim gives the Yeti a more upmarket feel, while its 1.8-litre turbo petrol engine and six-speed manual offer lively performance. The distinctive, boxy shape favours visibility and cabin practicality over sleek styling, helping it stand apart from rivals. Its flexible interior and raised driving position suit small families, couples and weekend travellers for varied everyday journeys. mycarcheck.com has recorded 12 checks across seven VINs, a modest sample.
