Yeti is designed for life in towns and cities, with a choice of two or four wheel drive systems on both diesel and petrol engines, as well as flexible Varioflex rear seating, sizable trunk space and higher ride height as standard.

If driving off the beaten track appeals, at the mere push of the off-road button, the Yeti turns into a highly capable off-road vehicle. It is adept at climbing slippery slopes, descending steep hills and maintaining control on difficult terrain using the very latest 4x4 systems.

The 4x4 system senses what is happening on each wheel and quickly transfers power or automatically applies braking when needed to give more grip or drive to keep you on your chosen path.

The SUV's TSI engine offers a great blend of power and torque combined with low CO2 and improved fuel economy.

The interior is set to meet exacting standards. The cabin is spacious, airy and flexible and contains a variety of standard features.

The seven Yeti models are priced from 165,800 yuan ($27,208) for the 1.4 TSI manual transmission model, and 1.4 TSI DSG models with a twin-clutch gearbox start from 179,800 yuan. The top one 1.8 TSI DSG will be offered at 241,800 yuan.
