"Skoda Yeti" - reviews of owners about the new Czech crossover

The Czech motor-car manufacturer Skoda seriously approached the design and development of its first production crossover called Skoda Yeti. Presented in 2005 at the annual Geneva Motor Show its prototype "Yeti Concept", Czech engineers and designers over the long 4 years have perfected the SUV and, so to speak, brought it to mind. The premiere of the novelty took place in the same place in the spring of 2009, and already in the autumn "Skoda Yeti" was actively supplied to the Russian market. From the time of sales, enough time has passed to reveal the positive and negative sides of this car. As part of our review, we will try to find out how successful was the debut of the first in its line of crossover called "Skoda Yeti."

Owner feedback on design

It is worth noting that since the beginning of sales in 2009 and to this day the novelty has not suffered any changes in the exterior. Its front part with four characteristic headlights and the already familiar grille with chrome overlays remind somewhat the old good "Fabia" and other famous "Skoda" models. In general, each new machine from the Czechs goes very similar to all the others, as if reminding motorists of their "family ties". But let's return to the design review "Skoda Yeti". Reviews of the owners say that the novelty has a very original appearance, thanks to which it is not lost in the crowd of gray cars. A powerful bumper with air duct, rectangular and round lighting, chrome planks - all this in general creates a positive impression of the exterior of the new Skoda Yeti.

Reviews of owners about the interior

Inside, the novelty demonstrates the high quality of assembly and inexpensive 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 during the car's movement. The second minus is noticed in the unfinished driver's seat, which has an inappropriate placement of lateral support and a rather stiff padding, which soon causes fatigue in the driver. 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 be easily adjusted to the height and width of the driver's hands. Secondly, the instrument panel of the new model has a deliberate 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. Also worth paying attention to the well-planned design of the torpedo and the central console of the car "Skoda Yeti": reviews of the owners say that these elements do not have any disadvantages in terms of ease of use. In general, the salon of the novelty came out on a solid "4".

"Skoda Yeti": the 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 all chances for further existence.
