Skoda is presenting us the new modified 2012 YETI, let’s try it!
2012 model Skoda Yeti SUV
The new face lifted Skoda Yeti model 2012 called the budget version of the Volkswagen Tiguan. However, as shown by this test with a trailer, the technique of these cars are not quite identical.”Just and reasonable” – the motto of the Czech subsidiary of VW has lived for many years. The chosen strategy is yielding results, including a promising market segment of compact SUV’s. Hardly anyone would dispute that 2012 Skoda Yeti has proven to be successful.

Along with an interesting, slightly cocky exterior, this “Czech” throws into the scales attractive quality-price ratio: about 10% of the price advantage compared to the corresponding models of Volkswagen Tiguan – a strong argument. All the more so for a reasonable amount you receive quality equipment VW. In addition, the manufacturer is constantly expanding the complete Skoda Yeti. Thus, popular 140-strong version of TDI in Europe can be ordered only with manual gearbox, but with an automated manual transmission with double clutch DSG. She is already familiar to us Tiguan’y and well proven in operation.If the Skoda Yeti takes two tons in tow, she, of course, is going slower than without a trailer. The slight slowdown when you press the gas pedal the more pronounced, the more vigorously try to pull away. With further acceleration is noteworthy contrast to the first significant Tiguan’a: a Skoda motor spins up to higher speed, and sometimes even too high. When squeezed the accelerator switch is at 4800 rev / min, which probably interferes with the normal acceleration.
With this excess of rated speed diesel engine with a supercharged power is greatly reduced. Therefore, Skoda Yeti, being about 100 pounds lighter than the Volkswagen Tiguan, under the same conditions does not reach its dynamic properties, but uses slightly more fuel. The difference in consumption evident on the roads and highways, and only a slight rise in the sixth interval includes the DSG gear ratios, sometimes switching back down to third gear. This immediately affects the flow.
Jobs automatic transmission is sometimes perceived as a bit of twitching: the cruise control is activated and the vertical drop on the highway gearbox hesitantly, a few times in a row is torn between the third and fourth intervals. Our “record” in the test trips were nine shifts gears for a few seconds. This operation is not a serious drawback, but a negative effect on the pleasure of driving. But on a level road cruise control makes driving with a trailer is very comfortable

As in the case of the suspension, engineers Skoda very successfully integrated into the design of Yeti wheel-drive system NEW SKODA YETI 4×4 and NEW SKODA YETI 4×4. Everything is pretty corny, but it is the place … multi-disc electro-hydraulic Haldex clutch fourth generation provides a constant dynamic distribution of torque to all four wheels. On dry surfaces the basic setup of electronics is transferred to the front wheels 96% of the time. However NEW SKODA YETI, if necessary, the range of the system that controls the speed difference between front and rear axle, allows the reverse redistribution, passing to the rear axle up to 90% of the time NEW SKODA YETI. Torque at the same time distributed between the wheels rather smoothly, helping to make this surprising, given the soft suspension Yeti, stability on the highway. NEW SKODA YETI
