Skoda Yeti Facelift Better Dynamics

• The Skoda Yeti was a complete car with feature
  loaded interiors and excellent looking exteriors.
  However, this car could not do well in the Indian
  car market. Even at the time of launch, Yeti did
  not find much favor among the buyers in India.
  The high price tag it carried also turned out to
  be a dampener. Consequently, despite being a good
  car, Yeti failed to takeoff. However, Skoda knew
  that the Yeti is too good a vehicle to be
  withdrawn from the market, that too, at a time
  when Indians are warming up to the idea of a
  compact SUV. Accordingly, Skoda re-worked certain
  aspects of Yeti and revamped it to address the
  shortcomings of the earlier editions. Now, just
  like the Octavia and Superb, which have received
  good response on their revamps, Yeti is also back
  with a facelift. Skoda vehicles are of excellent
  quality. They come with advanced technologies and
  superior engineering it is mainly the
  marketing, pricing and positioning of the cars in
  the market, which has failed the Skoda cars in
  the past.

• Now, Skoda is all set to do better by introducing
  an even better edition of the Yeti. It will be
  offering more of an outdoors feel than an urban
  feel. Skoda had successfully tried the concept of
  city variant of SUV and outdoor variant of SUV in
  some international markets. This could work out
  in India too and hence, Yeti is being marketed as
  a true Urban SUV in India.
• Skoda is offering only the Elegance trim to the
  buyers. It is offered in two variants, but all
  other trims are discontinued. Consequently, one
  variant will offer front-wheel-drive, whereas the
  other will offer 44 drive. The Yeti Elegance 4X2
  is priced at 18.99 lakh rupees. The 4X4 variant
  will cost the buyer close to 20.54 Lakh rupees.
• On the exterior, the Skoda Yeti facelift features
  new headlights, a revamped grille, and all new
  bumper, which the makers claim is in line with
  the new design language of the Skoda cars
  globally. The Skoda logo is placed on the bonnet,
  instead of the grill as in the earlier edition.
  The new car offers a set of fresh looking LED
  tail lamps, which add to the elegance of the
  rear.

• On the inside, the Yeti will come with dual-zone
  A/C, cruise control mechanism, powered driving
  seat, sunroof, rear seats that can be fold
  individually, optical parking assistance, high
  seating position and greater visibility among
  others.
• The engine is the same as in earlier versions.
  The 4X2 variant is mated to a five-speed manual
  transmission and the 4X4 comes with a six-speed
  auto transmission. The main competition to the
  Yeti is from SsangYong Rexton W, Ford Endeavour,
  Honda CR-V and Isuzu MU-7.
