Skoda Yeti (2010)

Compact, attractive and with a fresh attitude, the new Škoda Yeti was introduced at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show extending the brand's model range to five.

The 4.2 metre long, five-door vehicle bears the well-known and distinctive features of the brand. An impressive front end with a ribbed grille and stylish headlamps confidently demonstrate Škoda Yeti's relationship with the Škoda family. It has a robust and solid look on 17-inch wheels, whilst its fresh styling and high seating position enable the Škoda Yeti to exude lightness rather than looking bulky.

The carefully balanced running gear and agile handling, combined with turbocharged and frugal engines, makes the Škoda Yeti fun and dynamic to drive. Two petrol and three diesel engines are on offer. The entry engine is a front-wheel drive, petrol engine with four cylinders and 1.2 litre capacity, which delivers an impressive 105bhp (77kW).

The Škoda Yeti is available with the following engines:

* Petrol
o 1.2 TSI with 105bhp (77kW) - front-wheel drive
o 1.8l TSI with 160bhp (118kW) - 4x4
* Diesel
o 2.0l TDI CR with 110bhp (81kW) - front-wheel drive and 4x4
o 2.0l TDI CR with 140bhp (103kW) - 4x4
o 2.0l TDI CR with 170bhp (125kW) - 4x4

The Škoda Yeti is very well equipped for load lugging, too. The luggage compartment volume is highly flexible; up to 1,760 litres is available by removing the rear seats. A luggage cover and net as well as lashing rings are available to secure any load.

The Škoda Yeti is a clever compact vehicle that is bound to create a stir. Excellent handling characteristics and high agility are features of all trims. The 4x4 variants are characterised by outstanding off-road ability and excellent traction, coupled with low emission values and fuel consumption.

Škoda Yeti brings a fresh attitude, combining the strengths of a 4x4 with hatchback practicality.

Skoda Octavia RS Combi (2010)

Skoda Octavia Scout (2010)

The Scout line has built a steady position in Škoda's model portfolio. Bigger than the Roomster Scout and the Fabia Scout, the Skoda Octavia Scout is the flagship of this model line. The new vehicle has been facelifted to toe the line with the other models of the Skoda Octavia portfolio, including a redesigned radiator mask and bold headlamps. Fitted with fog lights with the Corner function, the massive front bumper underlines the vehicle's off-road appearance. Bold protective body elements are in harmony with a new metallic paint (Rosso Brunello).

With 179 mm of clear height and efficient chassis protection, the car is well geared for off-road driving. The all-wheel drive system includes the fourth-generation Haldex clutch able to transfer as much as 85 % of the torque to a single wheel. Two powerful engines - petrol 1.8 TSI/118 kW (EU 5) and diesel 2.0 TDI PD DPF/103 kW (EU 4) - combined with a six-speed mechanical transmission provide satisfactory performance levels.

The Skoda Octavia Scout has been bought by over 22 thousand customers so far.

Skoda Octavia RS (2010)

The facelifted Skoda Octavia RS has a redesigned front mask with an RS logo and bold headlamps that, for the first time in the RS version, can be fitted with xenon units combined with an adaptive front lighting module. Besides a wider and bolder induction aperture, the car's innovated bumper boasts a further two innovations: fog lamps with the Corner function and LED lamps for daytime lighting. The covers of integrated tailgate lamps have been redesigned to look more attractive, other innovations include, for example, a new metallic paint (Anthracite) and 18" Neptune wheels. The sports-tuned chassis has been lowered to 127 mm, the car's weight reduced by 20 kg in the petrol version and 15 kg in the diesel one. Significantly reduced air resistance has a positive impact upon the car's overall performance. The maximum speed is higher, and the car's responsiveness and acceleration have also been improved.

Complying with the EU 5 standard, the engines fitted to the Skoda Octavia RS include a 2.0 TSI/147 kW petrol unit with a consumption of 7.5 l/100 km and reduced CO2 emissions (175 g /km) and a 2.0 TDI CR/125 kW diesel engine (5.7l/100 km and 150 g/km, respectively). Both engines come exclusively with a six-speed manual twin-clutch DSG transmission.

The Skoda Octavia RS has been bought by over sixty thousand drivers since 2000 (of which 70 % in the estate (Combi) version).
