2 Answers
Skoda Yeti uses a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, a 1.8-liter turbocharged engine, and a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine. Taking the 2017 DSG Premium Edition Skoda Yeti as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4459mm, width 1793mm, height 1682mm, wheelbase 2638mm, fuel tank capacity 55l, and curb weight 1620kg. The 2017 DSG Premium Edition Skoda Yeti features a front MacPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 1.8T turbocharged engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 160ps, a maximum power of 118kw, and a maximum torque of 250nm, paired with a dual-clutch transmission.
I remember buying a Skoda Yeti a few years ago, and it drove quite smoothly. It mainly used either a 1.4TSI petrol engine or a 1.6TDI diesel engine, depending on the year and configuration. Mine was the 2015 model, equipped with the 1.4TSI, producing around 150 horsepower. The acceleration was smooth for city driving, with an average fuel consumption of just over 7 liters per 100 kilometers, and it was also efficient on long trips. This engine utilized Volkswagen's turbocharging technology, making it quite durable. Routine maintenance mostly involved oil and filter changes, with no major issues. When choosing this car, the salesperson mentioned that the Yeti could have different engine models depending on the market—for example, earlier models even had a 1.2TSI version. However, they advised buyers in the used car market to check the vehicle code to confirm the specific model to avoid purchasing an outdated version. Overall, the Yeti's engine performance is well-balanced, making it a great fit as a city SUV, and it handles occasional off-roading without any trouble.
