Skoda launches Yeti 4x2


Skoda Auto has launched the 4x2 version of the Yeti soft-roader. This model features a de-tuned version of the 4x4’s 140bhp, 2-litre common-rail diesel engine with peak power now a significantly lower 108bhp. This model is, however, a whole 98kg lighter than the 4x4 car. The 4x2 also gets a 5-speed manual transmission in place of the 4x4’s 6-speed manual gearbox.
What remains unchanged is the Yeti’s sophisticated all-independent suspension, so it should be comfortable in its 4x2 avatar too. The Yeti will be available in two variants, namely Active and the better-specced Ambience that gets ESP and rear parking sensors.
Prices start at Rs 13.2 lakh (ex-showroom, Maharashtra) and go up to Rs 14.05 lakh. In comparison, the base Yeti 4x4 costs Rs 15.5 lakh.
