Skoda India on Wednesday launched its upgraded Yeti at Rs 18.63 lakh (ex-Maharashtra). There are two variants and both are available only in the Elegance trim.
Škoda’s versatile SUV is a straightforward representative of its segment, with character and simplicity, said a company statement, adding that Škoda has now extensively redesigned the Yeti to adapt the brand’s new design language.
Yeti has always been a very unique product offering for India. While other Skoda cars, namely the hatchback and entry sedan are quite a bit like its sister brand Volkswagen's cars, the Yeti stood out as a standalone offering in the compact luxury SUV space.
The Yeti will be offered with two diesel engines for the Indian market -- the 2.0 TDI/81 kW mated to a five-speed manual transmission and a 2.0 TDI/103 kWall-wheel drive fitted as standard mated to a manual six-speed gearbox.
“The refreshed models in our line-up reflect the new phase of Škoda India, promising products that are more practical with timeless appeal, extremely high safety standards and the latest technologies. To complement our ongoing model offensive we will focus on the overall ownership experience with the brand and will continue to retain customer satisfaction as top priority in India,” said Sudhir Rao, Chairman and Managing Director, Škoda Auto India. The Yeti was awarded five stars in the Euro NCAP crash test in 2009 for its exemplary safety features. Systems such as ESC including ABS, braking assistant and a robust body designs well as a state-of-the-art chassis guarantee optimum active safety. Off-road, the car’s smart all-wheel-drive contributes to safe driving behaviour. In terms of passive safety, passengers are protected by a system with 6 airbags, five three-point safety belts, and five head restraints.
“The redesigned Škoda Yeti incorporates the new Škoda design language and preserve’s the car’s extreme versatility and multi-functionality. The Yeti has been significantly revamped to give it a more striking and impressive appearance. Behind the new improved look, the Yeti like all SUVs still has the rugged appeal and exudes strength and agility. High safety standards & comfort features along with its off-road capabilities, makes the Yeti a reliable partner in the city and off the road”, said Pawel Szuflak, Director, Sales, Service and Marketing, Škoda Auto India.
