At the Skoda stall in the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show, we are greeted by two 2014 Skoda Yeti facelifts - the Yeti Outdoor and the Yeti Style.

The Yeti Outdoor is the one you should consider if you are planning on doing some off-road stuff. It comes with a more rugged and off-road look, sporting skid plates, underride guards and side moldings in a black plastic.

And if all you need is a higher ground clearance, better boot space and better visibility, the Yeti Style should fit your requirements rather nicely. It gets a more elegant look with body colored bumpers and added chrome detailing.

Packed with an automatic parking assistant, rear view camera, up to 9 airbags, VarioFlex seats, heated seats, cruise control new fabrics and trim changes and the updated 3-spoke steering wheel, the Yetis seem to have all the required features for this segment.
You can choose between 7 engine options (four diesel and three petrol) and the range extends from a 1.2 TSI 105bhp to a 2.0 TDI 170bhp. Depending on the engine, a 6-speed manual, 6-speed DSG or 7-speed DSG are the available transmission options.
While the Yetis have been world premiered here today, the market launch will take place in Europe only later this year.
