Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI Elegance 105bhp
What is it?
POSSIBLY the most business-friendly Yeti on sale – if you do mostly urban miles. It’s certainly the Yeti with the lowest company car tax rate. Latest version of Skoda’s SUV may have a tiny 105bhp 1.2-litre turbo engine but it’s not short on peformance – and it’s very cheap to run too. Only available in front-wheel drive form the likeable SUV is a great alternative to a regular family car. Tested here in luxurious Elegance trim at £17,995.
What’s hot?
- That little engine. It’s punchy around town and smooth too
- Can hold its own pretty well on the motorway
- Frugal at 44.1mpg and cheap on company car tax with 149g/km CO2
- Comfortable drive with a high seating position and soft ride
- The cabin is enormous with 1,760 litres of all-out loadspace
- Seats can be folded flat easily
- Spec has panoramic roof, climate control and parking sensors
- Looks will appeal to those after something a bit different
- Dealer service is first class
- Strong residuals
What’s not?
- There’s quite a lot of body roll in corners
- Long distance drivers will want the extra torque of the diesel
- With two-wheel drive only, not a car for off-roaders
- Some buyers will still be put off by the badge
- Elegance may bring lots of kit but it’s pricey
