Yeti - front- or all-wheel drive SUV compact segment and, concurrently, the first car of a "similar format" in the history of the Czech automaker Skoda, which organically combines the features of crossovers and minivans ...
The main target audience of the five-door is family people with one or more children, with an income above average, who value, in the "iron horse", first of all, unique design, reliability, safety, comfort and functionality ...
"Yeti" is based on a "front-wheel drive" platform called Volkswagen PQ35 - this aggregate base is well known from many Skoda models and Volkswagen (however, the first generation Tiguan is still the closest relative to the Czech crossover). The machine has a supporting body structure, in the load-bearing structure of which high-strength steels are widely used.
Security
It is worth noting that back in 2009 the car became a "round excellent" according to the results of the European crash tests Euro NCAP, earning the maximum possible "5 stars".
But it should be borne in mind that the test car was "in the European basic", ie. equipped with seven airbags and active front head restraints, while the maximum number of airbags sold in Russia is six (and there are two of them in the "base").
The first crossover in the history of the Czech automaker was "born" in March 2009 - its international debut took place at the Geneva Motor Show ...
In September 2013, the restyled Skoda Yeti appeared in all its glory at the stands of the Frankfurt Motor Show to the world community.
As a result of the renewal, the SUV has seriously changed its appearance (but in particular - the full face, having received more restrained headlight units instead of the recognizable round optics), acquired small metamorphoses in the cabin, "armed" with a new environmentally friendly engine and received new options.
Another important innovation is the emergence of an all-terrain modification called Outdoor.
The Czech SUV stopped its serial "career" at the beginning of 2018 - it was replaced by a new SUV called Karoq.
Yeti on the Russian market
Skoda Yeti, although a belated participant in the "crossover boom", but it very successfully "fit into the market", and even distinguished itself by a number of interesting features.
For example, it pleasantly surprises with its original, "minivan" body folding, as well as an ergonomic, practical and functional interior.
In addition, a significant role in the success of the crossover was played by the "German ancestry", and in general, the good reputation of the Czech automaker in the eyes of Russian consumers.
On Russian market Skoda Yeti had a really hard time, since it has more than enough competitors. The most obvious ones are: Subaru XV, Nissan Qashqai and Terrano, Jeep Compass, Suzuki vitara and SX4, Mitsubishi ASX, Renault Kaptur and Hyundai creta... and this list can be continued for a long time, because, despite the fact that the "Czech" acts in the segment of compact SUVs, in terms of dimensions it is more comparable to subcompact SUVs.
Exterior
Outside, "Yeti" can hardly be called a model of beauty and harmony, and it is not particularly perceived as a full-fledged SUV - the car with its outlines rather resembles commercial "heels". But originality is the main horse of the five-door, because this is what it catches the eye, without causing any rejection, and upon closer examination, it begins to surprise at all with its ingenuous charm.
The pre-styling crossover is incredibly easy to recognize, especially from the front - it flaunts a "four-eyed face" with round foglights that mate directly with the head optics.
After the upgrade, the Skoda Yeti has lost this "zest", attaching discreet lighting equipment and fog lights located in their traditional places - on the sides of the lower part of the bumper on the front.
Besides, upgraded car give out more angular bumpers, taillights with C-shaped brake lights and LED sections, as well as a trapezoidal niche for the license plate (instead of the old rectangular one).
On top of that, the restyled SUV can be found in two versions - City and Outdoor.
The "urban" modification is distinguished by bumpers and moldings painted in body color and its own line of alloy wheels, while the "suburban" one has off-road decor in the form of unpainted plastic "armor" along the perimeter of the body and front pseudo-protection (that is, a silver lining on the bumper).
As the saying goes “there are no comrades for the taste and color” - someone likes “Yeti”, in others it causes conflicting feelings, while others simply frightens with its originality.
And, it would seem - what significant disadvantages can a car so "sharpened for practicality" have? However, they are, and very significant:
- Low quality iron and paint. The paint swells quickly at chipped sites - this phenomenon is most often observed in the area of the rear wheel arches and on all four doors. It is for this reason that it is recommended to wash the car as often as possible, but especially in the winter period after driving along the streets treated with reagents.
In addition, after a few years of operation, the logos on the hood and tailgate begin to peel off the crossover, and chrome also darkens.
- Far from ideal aerodynamics, which makes this SUV a terrible "muddy": in bad weather, the side windows in the area of the mirrors are quickly splashed with mud (significantly limiting the view), as well as the tailgate, rear window and bumper.
- "Delicate" windshield and headlights. The lobovik is quickly overwritten and scratched, and chips appear on it very readily, while the headlights become cloudy.
Weight and dimensions
The manufacturer Skoda Yeti is positioned as a compact SUV (although it is even inferior in size to many models of the subcompact category): its length fits into 4222 mm (of which the wheelbase extends to 2578 mm), the width is 1793 mm, and the height does not exceed 1691 mm.
The ground clearance of the off-road vehicle is 180 mm, while the size of the front and rear track is 1541 mm and 1537 mm, respectively.
Regarding the curb and total mass, then these indicators for the car depend on the modification:
Interior
Thoughtful minimalism reigns inside the Skoda Yeti - the car's interior looks thoroughly calibrated and surprisingly "grown-up", but it upsets with excessive restraint and even gloom.
True, such an unremarkable design is more than compensated for by impeccable ergonomics, high-quality finishing materials and good quality assemblies - as they say, everything is smart here and everything is to the point, but boring.
At the driver's seat - academic order: in the direct jurisdiction of the "pilot" are exemplary "instrumentation" with two "wells" in which the analog dials are placed, and the "window" of the onboard computer between them, as well as a three-spoke steering wheel.
In the initial versions, the "steering wheel" is extremely simple in appearance and devoid of any additional features, but in the "advanced" trim levels it can boast of versatility, a more developed relief with tides in the grip area and chrome and glossy decor.
By default, the laconic center console is "decorated" with a pair of symmetrical ventilation deflectors, a two-din radio with a monochrome display and three neat "washers" of the air conditioning system.
A bit of "elegance" in expensive versions is exalted by the color 7-inch touchscreen of the multimedia complex, under which there is a visual block of a two-zone "climate" and five control buttons for secondary functions.
In general, in the Yeti salon it is difficult to seriously find fault with anything, however, there is the same "fly in the ointment" here:
- Poor visibility - wide A-pillars and a low seat force the driver to actively twist their head around, especially when maneuvering at intersections with pedestrian crossings.
- In general, the build quality of the car is good, however, the plastic panels of the struts and the ceiling begin to "groan" on irregularities even if high mileage.
- "Cold" interior (especially in versions with low-volume engines), or to be more precise - a long warm-up. When the frost is below -20 ° C at idle, it takes at least half an hour to warm up the "apartments", while more or less warm inside becomes only after the start of movement.
- And also the uneven heating of the interior decoration: for example, it can be hot in the car, but the legs will freeze, if the legs are comfortable, then foggy windows overcome, and if you need to provide normal heat to the inhabitants of the second row, the front ones will feel like they are in the "Sahara" ...
Despite the modest wheelbase, the Skoda Yeti interior pleasantly surprises with its spaciousness - even five adults can sit here without any problems. Front riders rely on ergonomically profiled seats with pronounced lateral support bolsters, dense padding and a wide range of adjustments (including height).
In the "base" the car does not have any additional amenities, but in more expensive versions there is a central front armrest, as well as heating, electric drive and seat memory.
The organization of the second row of the crossover is almost exemplary among competitors (and not only). The five-door has a sofa with an optimal shape and filling, divided into three parts, as well as a solid supply of free space on all fronts, without exception.
At the same time, rear passengers are not deprived of comfort elements - the "gallery" moves in the longitudinal direction in the range of 15 cm and has a backrest adjustable in tilt angle (in four fixed positions), folding tables stick out in the front seats, and ventilation deflectors are located on the floor central tunnel ...
But that's not all - in the "top" trim levels, the transformation of the interior allows you to make the car a four-seater by removing the central narrow part of the sofa and moving the side seats closer to each other.
If we take into account the "dry" numbers, then in terms of internal capacity, the compact SUV has the following indicators:
Luggage compartment
At first glance, it may seem that in terms of carrying capacity, the Skoda Yeti simply has nothing to brag about - the car has a rather modest volume, but has an almost regular shape of the trunk, which, in addition to everything, is flavored with fastening nets and practical hooks.
In its normal state, it is able to accommodate 322 liters of luggage (under the shelf), but the second row moving "along the sled" allows you to increase this figure to 405 liters.
But most of all, the crossover impresses with its transformation capabilities - the "gallery" is folded in three sections in the ratio "40:20:40", which brings the capacity of the "hold" to 1665 liters. In addition, the rear seats can be completely dismantled (both completely and in parts), as well as take out the small "spare wheel" with tools and unscrew the foam caches hidden under the raised floor - in this case, the useful volume will be 1760 liters and you get even cargo area.
And that's not all - on some "Yeti" you can find front seat with a folding back (optional equipment), which allows you to transport items up to 2.5 meters long in the cabin.
Specifications
On the Russian market, the Czech crossover is offered with a wide range power units:
- Gasoline "turbo four" TSI (installed by default on pre-styling versions) with a working volume of 1.2 liters (1197 cm³) with direct injection, variable valve timing and a 16-valve DOHC timing belt, developing 105 Horse power at 5000 rpm and 175 Nm of torque at 1500-3500 rpm.
- Gasoline 1.6-liter (1598 cm³) "aspirated" MPI (became the base after the update) with four in-line cylinders, distributed "power" system, variable valve timing technology and 16 valves, which generates 110 hp. at 5800 rpm and 155 Nm of peak thrust at 3800 rpm.
- Petrol TSI engine volume of 1.4 liters (1395 cm³) with a cast iron block, a compact turbocharger, direct fuel injection, phase shifters at the inlet and a 16-valve timing, producing 125 hp. at 5000-6000 rpm and 200 Nm of torque at 1400-4000 rpm.
- 1.8-liter (1798 cc) TSI "four" with turbocharging, direct fuel supply, variable valve timing and DOHC timing with 16 valves, which produces 152 hp. at 5000 rpm and 250 Nm of rotational potential at 1500 rpm.
- The only diesel - 2.0 TDI (1968 cm³) with a battery injection system, a variable geometry turbocharger, a two-stage oil pump and a 16-valve timing, producing 140 hp. at 4000 rpm and 320 Nm of torque at 1750 rpm.
The Skoda Yeti also has a wide range of gearboxes:
- WITH naturally aspirated engine 5-speed "mechanics" or 6-band hydromechanical "automatic" are combined.
- The 1.2 and 1.4 liter turbochargers in tandem are assigned a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 7-band DSG "robot" with "dry" clutches.
- Engines 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TDI relies on an uncontested robotic gearbox DSG with six stages with "wet" discs.
On the crossover modification with 1.2-, 1.4- and 1.6-liter units, only a front-wheel drive transmission is installed, while only the all-wheel drive system "built" on the basis of the Haldex electronically controlled clutch is connected to the "older" engines (on the pre-styling models - the fourth generation, and on the updated ones - the fifth).
By the way, in the company itself, the all-wheel drive "Yeti" is called permanent, and they are partly right - even in ideal conditions, the clutch works with a small preload (sending 10% of the thrust to the rear axle wheels), and if the road situation worsens, the automation can send up to 50 % of the moment.
In general, Skoda Yeti can boast of fairly reliable engines, which are able to travel 200-300 thousand km before overhaul.
However, none of them were without troubles:
All gasoline turbo engines are supplied with a timing chain drive - theoretically, the chain is designed for the entire life of the engine, but in practice it requires replacement after 100-120 thousand km. At the same time, they are characterized by such a problem as the jump of the chain over the teeth of the gears due to stretching and the connivance of an unsuccessful tensioner, which in the most unfavorable circumstances can lead to the repair of the "heart" with bent valves.
Among other things, common misfortunes for "turbo-fours" are unpleasant vibrations on Idling, exactingness to the quality of fuel, increased "oil consumption" and long warming up in severe frosts.
The "aspirated" SUV, the only one in the range, does not cause much trouble, but requires renewal of the timing belt at least every 100-120 thousand km. In addition, such a unit with high mileage may have a high oil consumption, but, as a rule, this is solved by replacing the camshaft seals.
As for the 2.0 TDI turbodiesel, it is one of the least problematic engines under the Yeti's hood. True, the guarantee of his long and happy life is high-quality diesel fuel: in this case, expensive injectors and high-pressure fuel pumps will last at least 100 thousand km. The timing belt is able to "pass" about the same amount, but then it is better to replace it.
The manual transmissions installed on the crossover are reliable and unpretentious, not causing any special complaints. As a rule, they may require a certain intervention only with a mileage of more than 100 thousand km - for example, replacing differential bearings, leaking oil seals and clutch. According to the regulations, the oil in the manual gearbox of the five-door is filled for the entire service life, but it is advisable to renew it every 60 thousand km.
From the unpleasant - in severe frosts, "manual" transmissions have problems with the inclusion of the first two gears, which is solved by warming up for 5-10 minutes at idle speed.
The classic 6-speed "automatic" is also good on the Czech off-road vehicle: firstly, it works without kicks and freezes; secondly, with a timely oil change (every 60-80 thousand km), it can serve the entire life of the car.
The robotic DSG7 with dry clutches is one of the weaknesses Skoda Yeti, and especially on early copies. She not only causes inconvenience with "twitchy" work, but also does not differ in an increased resource - its most problem areas are the block of "mechatronics" and the clutch, which can "run out" after 20-30 thousand km.
"Wet" DSG6 gearbox is much more reliable and, with timely maintenance (oil and filter change every 60 thousand km), it will not cause any serious trouble to the owner.
The general attack of the DSG robots is that they are not very fond of Russian frosts - for normal driving in the cold season, at least a short (5-10 minutes) warming up of the car at idle is required.
Otherwise, in the "Drive" mode, unpleasant vibrations and knocking can be annoying and an eyebrow error on the screen of the on-board computer.
All-wheel drive modifications of the SUV are equipped with a Haldex clutch - the main thing here is to renew the oil every 60 thousand km: if this procedure is neglected, the electric booster pump may fail, the repair of which will cost a pretty penny.
In general, the Czech crossover demonstrates good off-road potential - it is able to plow paths where many of its "classmates" simply will not reach, and all thanks to the same electronically controlled clutch that skillfully distributes the moment, works with preload and works without delay.
As for the indicators of dynamics and efficiency, here at Skoda Yeti things are as follows:
Chassis
Standard "Yeti" is equipped with independent suspensions:
- a MacPherson type design with lower wishbones is used at the front,
- behind - a multi-link system with one longitudinal and three wishbones.
“Around” - with coil springs and anti-roll bars.
As for the chassis, here the crossover can be considered a "round excellent student" - it holds a straight line with reinforced concrete, even if the asphalt is damaged by the track. To many, the "hodovka" of this five-door will initially seem a bit harsh, since it excessively conveys the profile of the roadway to the senses, but almost everyone eventually recognizes it as really comfortable - the suspension copes with all large potholes and does not allow swinging on the waves.
But the main advantage of the chassis is the highest endurance: it does not cause any trouble and does not need serious intervention, even at high mileage. Unless only at the turn of 70-100 thousand km, the stabilizer struts will have to be replaced, and nothing more.
Steering
Regardless of the configuration "Yeti" is equipped with rack and pinion steering with an electromechanical amplifier.
Controllability is one of the main advantages of this compact crossover: it perfectly takes turns, even despite its high silhouette, allows you to confidently maneuver in dense city traffic and easily avoid obstacles that suddenly appear on the way.
In addition, the car boasts an almost perfect power amplifier setting - its steering wheel is light, but informative.
Brake system
Disc brakes are applied on all wheels of the car, but if they are conventional on the rear axle, then on the front axle they are ventilated, with a single-piston floating caliper.
The five-door and the brakes do not deserve any complaints - they quite effectively cope with the tasks assigned to them.
In terms of reliability, there are no special problems here, except that every 30-40 thousand km it is worth changing the front brake pads, and every 80 thousand km - the rear ones (but these are consumables).
Prices and equipment
In the secondary market of Russia, you can find many supported Skoda Yeti variants with a wide range in price, and the most common cars are with a 1.2-liter engine, a "robot" and a front-wheel drive transmission, while diesel variants, on the contrary, are extremely rare.
Crossovers of the early years of production are offered at a price of ≈400 thousand rubles, versions with a turbodiesel will cost from ≈600 thousand rubles, and all-wheel drive modifications with a 1.8-liter engine start at ≈450 thousand rubles *.
If you want a restyled car, then you should prepare at least ≈ 500 thousand rubles for a low-power version with front-wheel drive, and for a version with a 1.8 TSI engine and an all-wheel drive system, you will have to pay from ≈700 thousand rubles *.
The most "fresh" copies of the off-road vehicle cannot be bought cheaper than ≈800-850 thousand rubles for simple configurations, while for the "top-end" versions you will have to pay from ≈1.2 million rubles *.
As for the equipment, in the "base" Skoda Yeti has:
- two front airbags;
- black roof rails;
- electromechanical power steering;
- power windows for the front doors;
- interior transformation system VarioFlex;
- air conditioning;
- 16-inch steel wheels;
- heating and electric drive of outside mirrors;
- cooled glove box;
- audio preparation with four speakers;
- electric heating of the washer nozzles.
"Top" configurations are able to boast of a much more "tasty" list of equipment (however, they could be retrofitted with the widest number of options):
- six airbags;
- dual-zone climate control;
- 17-inch alloy wheels;
- Cruise control;
- heated front seats;
- four power windows;
- audio system with eight speakers;
- multifunction steering wheel with leather sheath;
- fog lights;
- stabilization system (ESP);
- help function when starting up the hill;
- LED tail lights.
* as of the beginning of 2019.
In general, the Skoda Yeti is an amazingly versatile car that can hardly be called unambiguously a family, youth or old man. This is a comfortable and functional crossover with "nimble" motors, high-quality performance and impressive interior transformation capabilities, allowing a little more ordinary cars and not annoying with serious problems.
If you need a car for purely urban operation or long-distance travel on the highway, then almost any version of it is suitable here, however, for off-road trips (although, of course, it can hardly be called such), the choice is limited only to modifications with 1.8 TSI and 2.0 TDI engines. because only they have an all-wheel drive system. The same versions will be the most preferable for those who like dynamic driving, as they have the best power ratings.
If reliability is a priority, it is best to pay attention to either machines with mechanical or automatic transmissions gears, or again for solutions with 1.8- and 2.0-liter engines.
The restyled version of the Skoda Yeti crossover, which appeared in Russia in early 2014, is built on the same platform with the Skoda Octavia A5 and. The PQ35 bogie used for all of these vehicles has a fully independent suspension: MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear. By overall dimensions Suzuki Vitara is also close to Skoda Yeti.
The range of engines offered for the Czech model has undergone changes during the presence of the car on the Russian market. At the time of the start of sales in 2014, the crossover had the following motors in its arsenal:
- 1.2 TSI 105 HP, 175 Nm. Turbocharged engine with compact head, single camshaft, 2 valves per cylinder, 1.6 bar supercharging and 150 bar direct injection.
- 1.4 TSI 122 HP, 200 Nm. Gasoline four-cylinder "turbo-four" with direct injection into the combustion chambers, a small turbine with a boost pressure of 1.8 bar and phase shifters at the inlet.
- 1.8 TSI 152 HP, 250 Nm. The most powerful petrol unit available is installed on the all-wheel drive modification of the Skoda Yeti.
- 2.0 TDI 140 HP, 320 Nm The only one diesel engine volume of 1968 cc with battery injection and variable geometry turbine. It has several options for boosting, in this case a 140-horsepower version of the engine is used. Diesel works only in configuration with four-wheel drive.
In 2015, the Skoda Yeti motor range was adjusted. The 1.2 TSI turbine gave way to a 1.6-liter "aspirated" engine that has undergone modernization. Updated engine with 110 hp. and a peak torque of 155 Nm since the end of 2015 has been assembled at the plant in Kaluga. In addition to the Skoda Yeti, a number of other models received such a motor. Other changes in the powertrain lineup are the replacement of the 122-horsepower 1.4 TSI with a 125-horsepower version with improved technical characteristics and the exclusion of the 2.0 TDI turbodiesel.
Thus, the list of Yeti modifications, current for 2016-2017, looks like this:
- 1.6 MPI 110 hp, 155 Nm + 5-speed manual transmission;
- 1.6 MPI 110 HP, 155 Nm + 6-speed automatic transmission;
- 1.4 TSI 125 HP, 200 Nm + 6MKPP;
- 1.4 TSI 125 HP, 200 Nm + 7DSG;
- 1.8 TSI 152 hp, 250 Nm + 6DSG + all-wheel drive.
Complete system Skoda drive The Yeti is based on the 5th generation Haldex coupling. With its help, up to 90% of the torque can be directed to the rear axle, by default, almost all of the thrust is sent forward. The ground clearance of 180 mm, coupled with the all-wheel drive transmission, allows for off-road excursions.
The 125-horsepower 1.4 TSI has the best efficiency among the Skoda Yeti engines. Regardless of the gearbox, it consumes on average about 5.8 liters of gasoline per 100 km. The fuel consumption of an all-wheel drive modification with a top 152-horsepower engine is about 8 liters.

Skoda Yeti ground clearance or clearance as for any other passenger car is an important factor on our roads. It is the condition of the road surface or its complete absence that makes Russian motorists interested in the Skoda Yeti's clearance and the possibility of increasing ground clearance using spacers or reinforced springs.
To begin with, it's worth honestly saying that real clearance Skoda Yeti may seriously differ from that declared by the manufacturer. The whole secret is in the method of measurement and the place of measurement of the ground clearance. So find out real situation affairs can only be done by yourself armed with a tape measure or a ruler. Official ground clearance of the Skoda Yeti is equal to 180 mm, both on front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of the crossover.
Some manufacturers go for the trick and declare the size of the ground clearance in an "empty" car, but in real life we have a full trunk of all sorts of things, passengers and the driver. That is, in a loaded car, the clearance will be completely different. Another factor that few people have in mind is the age of the car and the wear and tear of the springs, their "subsidence" from old age. The issue is solved by installing new springs or buying spacers under sagging springs Skoda Yeti... The spacers allow you to compensate for the drop of the springs and add a couple of centimeters of ground clearance. Sometimes even a centimeter in the parking lot at the curb plays an important role.
But do not get carried away with the "lift" of the Skoda Yeti's ground clearance, because the spacers to increase the clearance are focused only on springs. If you do not pay attention to the shock absorbers, the travel of which is often very limited, then self-modernization of the suspension can lead to loss of control and damage to the shock absorbers. In terms of cross-country ability, large ground clearance in our harsh conditions this is good, but at high speeds on the track and in corners, there is a serious buildup and additional body roll.
Real ground clearance of Skoda Yeti under the lowest point (motor protection) is naturally less than the manufacturer claims. Actually, this can be seen even with the naked eye. On an empty car, there is a little over 16 centimeters.
However, if you install 17 inch rims on high-profile rubber, you can get even under the protection of more than 170 mm real lumen... Photo further.
When designing a suspension and choosing the amount of ground clearance, any car manufacturer is looking for a middle ground between handling and cross-country ability. Perhaps the easiest, safest and most unpretentious way to increase clearance is to install wheels with “high” tires. Changing wheels makes it easy to increase the ground clearance by another centimeter.
After setting the main design solutions, the engineers were forced to use the larger Volkswagen PQ35 platform, on which such models as the Skoda Octavia were built at that time, Volkswagen tiguan and Volkswagen golf... The Fabia and Polo platform originally prepared for the Yeti turned out to be too small.
In the spring of 2009, the premiere show of the crossover took place at the same Geneva Motor Show, sales began in Europe in the summer, and in November of the same year, Russian sales of the Skoda Yeti started. Initially, two were chosen from the available range of engines: 1.2 TSI (105 HP, 175 Nm) and 1.8 TSI (160 HP, 250 Nm). A 7-speed robotic gearbox with a double dry clutch DSG7 and a six-speed "mechanics" were aggregated with them. The car was offered both in front-wheel drive and with an automatically connected all-wheel drive system. At the same time, the DSG box could only be obtained on the version of the car with the "junior" 1.2-liter engine, and all-wheel drive - on the most powerful, but only with the manual gearbox: as it turned out, the newest DSG7 cannot cope with the power and torque of the "senior" engines ...
Skoda Yeti "2009–13
Subsequently, the Yeti was also offered with a 2.0 TDI diesel engine (140 hp, 320 Nm), and it was this version that first offered the combination of an automated DSG transmissions(this time 6-speed, wet clutch) and all-wheel drive.
In 2013, the car has undergone a restyling. The round fog lights, as if crashing into the headlight units, have disappeared, the radiator grille, bumpers and the hood have changed. A new steering wheel and gearbox handle appeared, the generation of the Haldex clutch in the transmission was replaced. The range has expanded with a purely urban version of the Yeti City featuring body-colored bumpers. The range of engines has grown due to the implantation of the Kaluga heart - atmospheric gasoline engine 1.6 MPI with 110 hp, which could be combined with 6-speed "hydromechanics". In addition, cars with a supercharged 1.4 TSI (122 hp, 200 Nm) appeared on sale, and the 1.8 TSI engine began to be combined with an automatic DSG6 transmission.
Skoda Yeti "2013–17
In Russia, "Snow People" are registered not only in dealerships, but also at assembly sites. Already in 2009, the assembly of Yeti began in Kaluga, in 2011 the assembly moved to Nizhny Novgorod, and in 2012 the production of the model was organized there on a full cycle.
By 2017, when the termination of production and sales of Yeti in Russia was announced, about 73 thousand of these cars were sold in our country. On the one hand - not bad, but on the other hand - the soplatform VW Tiguan, despite the higher price, has been sold in much larger quantities all the years.
Skoda Yeti "2013–17 There is no unanimity in the reviews of the owners: someone admires the car and calls it nothing more than a "loyal and reliable friend" and "an excellent family car", and someone is indignant: "damn the day when I bought the Yeti!" ... So why do they love and what do they hate the Czech crossover for?
Hatred # 5: "It won't be enough!"
Say what you like, but crossovers are really bought from us mainly as family cars. And then a person comes to a car dealership to get acquainted with his future vehicle. He is living in the driver's seat, looking to see if it will be comfortable for the children and household members to sit on the back sofa ... Everything is normal and comfortable ahead, maybe a little narrow: you will certainly hurt a broad-shouldered neighbor, leggy women will get confused in the wings. And there is enough space in the back, and there is enough space above the head.

Skoda interior Yeti "2013–17 Naturally, the turn of the tailgate comes, because the plans include trips with the family to the dacha, to picnics, to summer vacations, and you will certainly have to go to the shops. The documents indicate that the volume is 405 liters. It seems to be quite decent ... The potential owner opens it and discovers that because of the high raised floor with the spare wheel hiding under it, the luggage compartment looks frankly small, and that in fact the volume is 322 liters. You can, of course, throw out the spare wheel and lower the floor (by the way, in Europe Yeti went on sale without a spare wheel, but with a repair kit), but on our routes without a spare wheel you feel somehow uncomfortable.
Skoda trunk Yeti GreenLine "2013–17 In general, "it will not be enough!" During operation, someone measures the volume in children's bicycles (exactly two fit), someone in black terriers (if anyone does not know, the Russian black terrier is a dog the size of a shepherd, and there is enough space for one such dog), someone then - in suitcases and travel bags (the luggage of two people fits without any problems). But the baby stroller does not fit anymore, and the young family has to adjust to the car and buy a collapsible one.
Interior Skoda Octavia Scout "2009-13 In any case, the owners of Czech crossovers quickly get used to using the third dimension with might and main - that is, height. However, the owners not only scold the Yeti trunk, but also praise it. For example, for the fact that if you remove the luggage rack, then exactly four regular wheels are placed there, or for the presence of convenient niches for tools and small things, well, for bag hooks and other nets. They really make life easier when traveling to the supermarket, because the purchases hang quietly in bags and upon returning home they do not need to be collected all over the trunk.
Love # 5: "Go Transformers!"
But if the volume of the trunk is in critical conflict with current needs, the Vario Flex interior transformation system comes to the rescue. Its merits are discussed in almost every review. Indeed, the Yeti rear sofa is divided into three parts, and each of them can be moved, folded, or simply removed from the cabin, and this is quite easy and simple to do.
Trunk Skoda Yeti "2013-17 The Internet is full of stories about how Yeti successfully transported materials for the repair of two offices and one apartment, or a sofa to the dacha (after which a neighbor was eager to buy the same car), or a quarter of a centner of hotels from village relatives, or ensured a move to a two-room apartment with all things. Fascinated by extreme sports and outdoor recreation, young people tell how many helmets, protectors, chairs, barbecues, tents and other equipment the "Bigfoot" can hold. But - only on condition of a two-seat configuration!
Well, lovers of long-distance travel complain that even with the rear sofa removed, only dwarfs can normally settle for the night. Even a person of small stature will not be able to stretch out - say, 170 centimeters. If you want to sleep in a car, master the ability to curl up. Plus, the only way to level the floor is with an air mattress, and they damn it always blown away ...
Hate # 4: "Who's Blowing Bubbles?"
In the reviews left in 2009-2010, shortly after the start of Yeti sales in Russia, it is said about anything: dynamics, capacity, operation of the transmission, motors and suspension. But the further, the more mentions of low-quality paintwork and poor corrosion resistance of the body, and problems sometimes begin within the first year of the car's life. There are many mentions that more than half of the body parts were repainted in the first year under warranty due to bubbling paint.
Doors and lower wing parts suffer the most: “Almost every element is affected! Only broken or replaced parts were not rusty. Yes, there is a lot of salt and mud in St. Petersburg, yes, I didn't wash too often. But other cars don't rot that fast! " - one of the owners is indignant. “All 4 doors are rusty !!! Painted under warranty, draw conclusions about this brand! " - echoes him another. And it's good that the company initially began to recognize such cases as warranties. But repainting, even under warranty, means that for some time you will lose your car and suffer inconvenience. And not all cases are recognized as warranties: "The dealer (ASC" Khimki ") sent me three times, said that the chips themselves, they say, are to blame ..." Or such a situation: two doors with bubbles, two with scuffs at the ends, and on the hood and on the roof (!!!) there are 1-2 mm chips, but only bubbling doors are recognized as a warranty case.
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 Someone may assume that only Kaluga or Nizhny Novgorod cars are “blowing bubbles”. Nothing like this! Exactly the same sad notes concern the Yeti, which rolled off the assembly line of the plant in Mlada Boleslav ...
Love # 4: "Here's how, so simple ..."
Let's admit right away: Skoda Yeti is unlikely to take a place on the podium of the museum as an example of beauty and harmony. Okay, those who considered the Czech crossover "obscene" or "kurguzy ugly" simply did not leave reviews, because they did not become its owners. Thank God we have a lot to choose from. But those for whom Yeti's appearance did not cause active rejection, write about it only as controversial and controversial and argue that the design is "for everybody", and some add "and I could not become one", while others - "but I like".
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 Yeti chief designer Josef Kaban really created a very extraordinary car. He did not focus on the look of classic SUVs or passenger station wagons. The silhouette of the Yeti is more reminiscent of light commercial vans, commonly referred to as "heels". The low, squat bonnet is matched by a steep windshield forehead and a square, practical, gut body. All this is complemented by large fog lights that mate directly with the headlights. By the way, a lot of people wrote that they like the appearance of the pop-eyed pre-styling Yeti more than the look of the updated cars, which have lost some of their originality.
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 In principle, it was precisely such a controversial exterior design with an emphasis on practicality that fit perfectly into the general strategy of the concern, which needed to breed similar technically cars of different price groups into their niches. The Yeti initially could not look better and more attractive than the Tiguan or the Audi Q3, because the Volkswagen Group also had to sell “expensive gift-bound books”. And I would also like to note the ability of Yeti to implement the principle of "endure - fall in love." In many reviews, the owners write that initially they did not take the Yeti seriously at all, considering them "under-crossovers" and "short womens", but after a couple of years they not only got used to the car's appearance, but also began to consider the bright design one of the main advantages of the model.
Hate # 3: “Oh, how cold guys! Hands freeze, nose freezes ... "
As you know, in most of the territory of our vast Motherland, winter happens once a year, and it always happens unexpectedly (for utilities), but absolutely inexorably. And winter is cold, and the peculiarities of winter operation of cars are especially important for our fellow citizens. It would seem that "Bigfoot" Yeti should be an unattainable model in this regard. In a way, it is: I have not come across a single feedback from the owners in which they would complain about problems with a cold start, and this applies not only to gasoline, but also to diesel engines.
Skoda Yeti "2013–17 But winter problems are not only about starting the engine on a frosty winter morning. This is also the comfort in the cabin ... But in this regard, everything is not very good, especially for cars of the first years of production. The fact is that Yeti is a cold car, or rather, not cold, but warming up for a very long time. So the drivers of the "Bigfoot" complain that the interior begins to warm up only in motion, and this process takes at least 10 minutes. Well, at idle (at a temperature of -20), any warm air begins to flow out of the deflectors only after 25-30 minutes, and normal warming up takes 40-45 minutes. Until you wait, you will be numb, so that the children have to be put in a cold car on the way to school.
Since 2011, the car began to be equipped with an autonomous electric heater for the climate system. As a result, after a couple of minutes, warm air begins to flow into the cabin, although the engine is still quite cold. But there are also unresolved issues.
Skoda Yeti "2013–17 For example, the DSG box doesn't really like Russian frosts. For normal driving during cold weather, a small preliminary warming up of the car at idle is required, at least for 5-10 minutes. If you neglect this, then when you move the selector knob to the "Drive" position, an unpleasant vibration (and even knocking) may appear, and on the screen on-board computer a flashing wrench appears. To reset the error, you will have to turn off and then restart the engine after a while.
And many more complain about the uneven heating of the cabin: it is hot in the cabin, but the legs are freezing, then the legs are comfortable, but the windows begin to fog up. Or like this: if you set a comfortable temperature for the driver and front passenger, then the rear will be blown cold air, and if you provide warmth to the inhabitants of the back row, then for the front row begins "Sahara". “The stove doesn’t want to heat the leg area! By God, I got tired of adjusting the buttons every time. The engine has enough heat, but until the engine oil warms up, the computer is greedy to send heat down. "
Skoda Yeti "2013–17 There are also problems with aerodynamics, which are generally far from ideal. Yeti turned out to be a terrible mud: that terrible liquid substance, which turns into roads poured with anti-icing reagents in winter, flies onto the side windows in the area of \ u200b \ u200bmirrors, seriously impairing the view. In full accordance with the laws of physics, splashes backdoor and the rear window, and on the bumper, at the junction with the lower edge of the door, whole ice hummocks freeze. Sometimes, in order to get into the trunk, you have to run home for a kettle with boiling water, because if you start chipping off this ice, you will definitely damage the weak paintwork.
Glass washer nozzles are considered heated, but the liquid in them can freeze already at -14, and the washers will not work even after several hours of driving. In general, in the Yeti driver community, there is an opinion that for Europe, where there is no snow in winter and the temperature does not drop below -5, the car is just perfect, but for Russia with its snowfalls, traffic jams and frosts, it is not very well adapted, since almost all are unpleasant flaws appear in the winter.
Love # 3: "I will go to the woods, I will go to the fields ..."
Most owners of Skoda Yeti are fully aware that their car is not in vain called "urban crossover", and that from this category Vehicle do not wait for the ability to crawl where the Urals only feel comfortable. Nevertheless, in the overwhelming majority of reviews, cross-country ability is indicated among the main advantages of the model, and, interestingly, this applies not only to all-wheel drive, but also to front-wheel drive versions!
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 "Passability for front wheel drive excellent. When I need to drive along a deep rut, I block the first gear (otherwise the box likes to go 2-3), and the car rushes like a tank. Honestly, I dug myself in only once during the winter: in the village I went off the track and sat on my belly with one side. And so - no problem! Will go where my former Focus would never have reached! ". And this despite the fact that independent measurements showed that the ground clearance of the front-wheel drive Yeti is 158 mm, and not 180, as indicated in the documents.
As for the all-wheel drive versions, the ground clearance and small overhangs in combination with the Haldex clutch give a very good cross-country ability, which the owners experienced some on fishing, some on crushed village primers, some on a snow-covered track on the way to a ski resort, and some in muddy mud on road to summer camp in the mountains.
Skoda Yeti Outdoor "2013–17 Naturally, the level of enthusiasm for the Yeti's off-road ability is determined by previous driving experience. Those who have driven only cars before, consider the Yeti to be almost omnipotent, but drivers with a certain experience of all kinds of off-road approach to this issue quite soberly. “I compare to my ex Nissan x-trail... Thanks to the rigid suspension in combination with the short wheelbase, the Yeti confidently holds the road. All driver errors or road surprises are instantly eliminated by the intervention of various stabilization systems paired with the Haldex clutch. There are no toy buttons (as on the X-Trail) to switch between four-wheel drive and front-wheel drive - everything works well anyway. Well, if you are not sure that you can go down the hill without tipping over sideways, drive through the snow without burying yourself, or drive into a turn without leaving a beautiful ditch, turn on the Off-Road mode and go ahead. Everything becomes smooth and very confident, however, only up to 40 km / h. " Many drivers with experience in operating the VAZ-2121 and Chevrolet Niva argue that all-wheel drive Yeti go even better than these cars on ice, snow, snow and ice rise, naturally, inferior to them in the amount of suspension travel, and therefore in the ability to overcome all kinds of ravines and gullies.
Skoda Yeti Outdoor "2013–17 Well, in the city, Yeti guarantees its owner the freedom of winter parking. Loose snow, small drifts, curbs (a reasonable height for a crossover) do not pose any problems and do not even require the mandatory activation of the Off-Road mode. Naturally, all significant obstacles are passed on the move, and not "vnatyag". A clutch is a clutch, if you stop, you will grind, and the turbo engines at low speeds tend to stall. And in so many reviews, the leitmotif is the thought that you should not demand from the car what it is simply not intended for. Element Yeti - city, asphalt and light off-road, and for everything else there is a completely different technique. And the Yeti is just a good family utility car, not too expensive, enjoyable on the highway and not a pity to shove in mud or snow, which, incidentally, it handles quite well.
Hate # 2: "Not all Yeti are Shrovetide ..."
From the very beginning, Yeti sales were accompanied by "horror stories" about the low reliability of low-volume turbo engines and the latest robotic boxes gear. And it must be admitted that there were very objective reasons for the appearance of these horror stories.
Firstly, all engines of the families and require strict adherence to the regulations, the use of high-quality high-octane gasoline and the attentive attitude of the owner. But as it turned out, even the observance of all these conditions does not always save the owners from problems with the motors. The first issue was related to the reliability of the turbochargers. “On 51 thousand mileage, careful operation, start-up in winter only after warming up with Webasto, and in 99 percent of using 98 gasoline,“ dzhekichan ”jumped out (error Check Engine). Diagnostics showed a turbine valve error. Dealers say that they do not sort out anything and change the turbine only in the assembly, they say, the warranty has already ended, and they threaten to repair for 90 thousand ... ". And judging by the reviews on the network, at some point this disease was really rampant.
As a result Skoda brand it was necessary to conduct a recall campaign, during which the turbines of the first years of production (non-repairable) were changed to improved (repaired) ones. Those who fell under the review had a chance to get by with the replacement of the valve for 12,000 rubles, and not the turbine for 100,000. With all this negative, it is worth noting that many victims note that even with a failed turbine, the Yeti is able to at least independently get to the service.
Another problem, first of all - for the most budgetary, and therefore, very common 1.2 TSI engine, was the stretching of the timing chain. Someone manages to catch menacing symptoms at the very beginning: “On the 107,000 run, extraneous sounds from the chain during a cold start began to disturb. I contacted the service, measured the chain stretch, said "I turned in time!" A little more and would have jumped. Replacing the chain with a tensioner + oil = 20,000 rubles. " Someone is happy that the chain still jumped, but the valve did not bent, and the cost of the repair was 50,000, and someone was repaired in full. And it's all about the oil ... The channels supplying oil to the hydraulic tensioner of the timing chain have a rather small section, and if dirt or dirty old oil gets there, the tensioner can jam. The chain will weaken, slip by one tooth - and get your money ready.
Under the hood Skoda Yeti "2009-13 Finally, there is another common problem directly related to the previous sore, which has received the name "maslozhor" in the community of Yeti owners. Indeed, many cars, especially the first years, were inclined to consume oil with an appetite for two-stroke technology, and this turned out to be characteristic feature all engines of the TSI family. The reason for this phenomenon was the design oil scraper rings: The ring height is 1.5 mm, which does not effectively drain the oil. Add the problem of the quality of gasoline and the danger of pouring fake oils instead of branded oils - and the likelihood of encountering the notorious "oil maker" becomes very high.
It looks something like this: “After MOT 45,000, the oil level lamp came on. Contacting a dealer, measuring oil consumption (confirmed consumption of 1.2 liters per 1,000 km), repair under warranty (replacement piston group details). After repair, after 700 km the oil level lamp comes on again. Again contacting the dealer, a new measurement of oil consumption (it turned out that for 1,000 km the consumption was 2.1 liters), and repairs under warranty (replacement of the cylinder head). " And the lower the oil level, the faster slags and dirt accumulate in it, and their accumulation, in turn, leads to the situation described above with the timing chain.
Under the hood of the Skoda Yeti "2013-17 There are also quite a few stories of successful struggle against the "maslozhor". The main method was forced decarbonization of the engine, and it does not matter if this procedure was done using a mixture of acetone with kerosene or some kind of proprietary auto chemistry. It is important that the "maslozhor" can be defeated without rebuilding the motor. It is also recommended to follow a number of simple rules - in particular, constantly monitor the oil level and never leave a car with a manual transmission on a slope with a gear engaged.
Under the hood of the Skoda Yeti Outdoor "2013–17 It is also worth noting that after 2012, certain changes were made to the design of the engines, and the problem, if not completely resolved, certainly lost its urgency. In at least half of the reviews, the owners specifically clarify: there is no "maslozhor", and often this applies even to not too young Yeti with decent mileage.
Love # 2: "I take Yeti out on the road ..."
At least eight out of ten Yeti owners rate the handling of their cars the highest and consider it one of the main advantages. As one of them wrote in his review, "the suspension is suspended and it works out." Many people note the almost ideal setting of the electric booster: the steering wheel is light, but informative, while short, allowing you to turn around when maneuvering in cramped conditions, literally "on a handkerchief." Despite the high silhouette, the car runs perfectly along the highway, as if sticking to the road, and does not cause discomfort even at a speed of 130-150 km / h. I did not find a single complaint about excessive roll in corners, and during the auto rally across Siberia I myself had the opportunity to see the Yeti's ability to avoid obstacles that suddenly appeared in the field of view, even at a speed of over a hundred.
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 There are, however, certain complaints about a certain lack of energy intensity and excessive rigidity: "it would be softened the most, according to the controllability of the Yeti, it would probably be ideal." Someone notes that the car is pretty shaking on the tram paving stones, someone writes that if you go fast on a dirt road with pits, then the car begins to jump like a ball, that the rear passengers feel all the unevenness of the road literally the fifth point, as they sit over rear wheels, that during sharp turns they need to hand out helmets for the head, that excessive rigidity is felt when driving through the "speed bumps".
At the same time, everyone agrees that this is not too high a price for confidence in high-speed corners. The stabilization systems also work quite adequately, although it is not possible to rely on them in every situation. One of the reviews describes such a case: “On an empty road, with a green traffic light, the oncoming person decided to cross the road with a left turn. I left and got up. Where should I go? Speed 40, ice, ABS does not allow to slow down, the ESP engine chokes, so that the favorite controlled skid is a skiff. In a word, he left the frontal meeting, and the high curb - here it is, the left wheel in the fender liner. Bottom line: the lower part of the bumper, the TV, the fender liner, slightly dented radiators, the wheel lever, a small gap extraction. "
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 But in general, everyone unanimously writes about the highest endurance of the suspension and that, even after solid runs, it does not require serious intervention. Well, the replacement of stabilizer struts at the turn of 70-100 thousand kilometers can be considered a planned event.
Hate # 1: The Oppressor Robot is Terrible and Cruel ..
Different companies have different solutions to equipping compact models with efficient automatic transmissions, which, of course, should also be lightweight and compact. In reality, this problem today has two solutions: either variators or robotic mechanical boxes. Volkswagen made a bet on the second option, specifically on preselective robotic gearboxes with two clutches.
Skoda Yeti "2013–17 The design has many advantages: smooth and high upshift speed, high efficiency and the ability to effectively select the optimal gear for any driving mode, which means fuel economy. Box DSG7 (DQ200), representing the second generation of "robots" and designed for engines with a torque of up to 250 Nm, was born in 2006, and many models were immediately equipped with it: VW Beetle, Golf, Golf Plus, Jetta, Scirocco and Passat, Seat Ibiza, Leon and Toledo, Skoda Fabia, Roomster and Superb, and of course Yeti. At first, the box caused a flurry of engineering enthusiasm for the small volume of the case, into which only two liters of oil had to be poured, and also for its performance. But soon the service centers were literally choked with the mass of cars with failed DSG7s. There were quite a few Yeti among them ... It became clear that the company had launched a crude, underdeveloped product on the market.
We examined the issue of reliability and major breakdowns in sufficient detail, so we will not return to this. We only note that in 2013 the concern carried out a large-scale modernization of DSG7, which affected all the components of the box: the clutch, mechatronics (control unit and shift drive) and the mechanical part (elements of the classic mechanical box). But the reputation of the unit had already suffered, and this threatened with serious losses for all brands belonging to the concern.
Negative ratings for this box are found in about half of the reviews. At the same time, not all authors of these reviews actually encountered breakdowns during the first years of owning a car. It's just that many people do not like the very work of robotic boxes, which, despite constantly improving algorithms, behave impeccably during overclocking, but nevertheless have a certain tendency to fall into indecision in a number of situations: “So, turn on the third ... or the fifth? No, the fourth! No, still the third. Or the fifth? " And the reliability of the DQ200 has significantly increased since the end of 2013, and the likelihood of encountering some problems appears after 50-70 thousand kilometers.
Nevertheless, there are occasional complaints that up to 15,000 mileage, the box worked like a clock, and then began to convulse, especially in traffic jams, when switching from 2nd to 3rd gear, or that the DSG began kicking a year after the purchase, and exactly 50,000 kilometers, the car simply stopped at a traffic light and drove away from there on a tow truck. Someone even writes that the manufacturer needed to come up with a special additional firmware algorithm and make the Russian traffic jam mode button instead of sports mode, because in traffic jams DSG7 constantly jumps from first gear to second and back, jerking both the car and the owner's nerves. Rescues switching to manual mode in first gear. There are plenty of recommendations on the Internet on how to prolong the life of DSG7, exclusively changing the driving style towards the "vegetable" one.
Skoda Yeti "2009–13 Indeed, the guarantee of the health of this box is smooth acceleration and smooth braking, as well as the use of the parking brake in the Parking mode. But the recommendations wandering on the Internet to transfer the box to neutral at short stops, and in traffic jams to use the Sport mode or forcibly turn on the first gear, experts consider useless or even harmful. One thing is clear: that the life position "Misha Schumacher is sick, so now I am for him" will certainly lead to fatal consequences for the box.
As for the DSG6 (DQ250), then, as a rule, this unit takes care of about 100-120 thousand kilometers without any problems without interfering with its life. And nevertheless, the negative trail from the not very successful start of the preselective "robots" is felt to this day, and even in the most sympathetic reviews, the authors certainly note that the DSG (we are talking about both six- and seven-speed units) has not yet kicked and generally behaves decently. Pah-pah-pah, so as not to jinx it.
Love # 1: "The mouse eats quite a bit ..."
If the voices of the owners do not always merge in unison with regard to the various advantages of the Yeti, and there is always someone who will express themselves in a counterpoint, then in assessing the efficiency of the car, everyone is surprisingly unanimous, and this applies to the entire range of engines. Let's start with the relatively rare two-liter diesel engines in our country. There are no surprises here: depending on the driving style, consumption ranges from 5 to 7 liters on the highway and up to 10 liters per hundred in the city. Well, the owners of Yeti with 1.2 TSI literally play the game "who will eat less." It looks something like this: "I have a consumption of 7-8 liters on the highway" - "And I have less, 6.6-6.7!" - "I have exactly 6, at a speed of 100 km / h!" - “Ha! I played in eco rally, I got 5.0 - 5.5 liters! " - "What's this! Once I drove for a long time at a speed of 60, the consumption on the computer was 4.5 liters! "
Skoda Yeti "2013–17 In general, people drive differently, and the ratio of city and highway trips is different for everyone, but the average consumption for car owners with this engine is from 7.2 to 9 liters. But what is most interesting is that the appetite of the 1.8-liter engine is only slightly higher! The real urban consumption is 10-12 l / 100 km, and on the highway it is very dependent on the speed of movement. If you drive calmly, at a speed of 90-100 km / h, then the appetite can be reduced to 6-7 liters per hundred, but if you move with active overtaking and acceleration up to 150, then the consumption rises to 9-10 l / 100 km.
In general, the average consumption in mixed mode is about 10.5 liters, which, combined with decent dynamics and all-wheel drive, can be considered quite acceptable. Many people note that in winter the consumption increases by almost 2-3 liters per hundred. This is due to the long warm-up, which we have already written about. And the owners, who decided on chip tuning and raised the power to 200-205 hp, claim that this procedure does not greatly affect the average consumption, and that the forced Yeti still spend 7.5-8.5 on the track. l, in the city - 10-11 l, but acceleration to hundreds is only 7 seconds.
