After Skoda presented its MPV Roomster study at
the latest IAA, the response of the audience was so overwhelming that
the company decided to carry out additional work not only on the vision,
but also on the execution of this unusual concept.

At the
same time, the Yeti is also a useful city car: with its high seats, its
very good view and, last but not least, its compact dimensions, it is
also convincing in an urban environment.
With its
Yeti study and the design interpretation of an SUV, Škoda addresses
those looking for an alternative to the contemporary "modish" styling:
customers, who prefer a modern, "genuine" beauty with distinctive forms.
Skoda's purpose with this study is to find out whether an automobile
with such looks and robustness - and enough clearance so that it can be
driven "off road" as well - can be credibly produced with only
front-wheel drive.
With its
dimensions between the A0 and A segments, the Yeti is a typical example
of Skoda's product policy to place its cars at segment lines.
The
car's length of about four meters contributes to the fact that the Yeti
is intentionally different from the contemporary "common" design of
off-road vehicles. The Yeti would have a beneficial effect on this
company with its positive and self-confident character. The contemporary
designation "Sport Utility Vehicle" is an exact description of this
car's soul.

The
interior is designed so that the driver can control the vehicle safely
in any situation, for instance even while wearing gloves. All controls
are manipulated by a simple hand movement - by push-buttons or large,
stable levers.
The
central console contains a cooled water container with two removable
tubes for easy drinking.

The navigation system is situated in the central console. It is
removable as a portable GPS unit and, therefore, can be used during
outdoor activities.
