This ensures maximum fuel economy and emissions as much as possible.
Skoda Yeti SUV developers feel the class can not achieve lasting success in a strategy of environmentally friendly engine and affordable. Consequently the motor program Škoda Yeti is based on the strategy of downsizing Škoda, reducing capacity while increasing performance, thanks to forced induction very sophisticated. High torque at low speed the results of this innovative engine development.
