Skoda goes on a Yeti ‘Drive’
February 20, 2017
Skoda has extended its Yeti SUV line-up with the addition of two new models which offer extra kit but at a reduced price.
The SE Drive and SE L Drive Yetis are based on SE and SE L models with the SE Drive adding £2,295 of extra equipment for just £935 over the price of the standard SE it is based on. The SE L Drive offers extra kit worth £1,850 for £755 more than the standard SE L.
Building on the specification of the Yeti SE, which includes dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, Bluetooth telephone connectivity and cruise control, SE Drive adds Amundsen satellite navigation with DAB radio, heated windscreen, heated front seats, auto-dimming rear view mirror and front parking sensors.
SE Drive models also get new seat upholstery and distinctive 17-inch alloy wheels while SE L Drive models have leather upholstery, LED rear lights, part silver roof rails and bi-xenon headlights.
The two Drive models are available with three engines – two diesels and one petrol. The 1.2 TSI petrol engine has 110bhp and is available either with a six-speed manual or six-speed DSG automatic gearbox.
The 2.0-litre TDI diesel also develops 110bhp and is mated to a manual gearbox and comes with the option of four-wheel drive.
A more powerful 2.0-litre TDI with 150bhp has four-wheel drive as standard.
The SE Drive 1.2 TSI has a starting price of £20,095 with the SE L Drive 1.2 TSI a base price of £21,745.
