Skoda Yeti Outdoor Review and Prices
The Skoda Yeti Outdoor is a small SUV that is decent to drive, practical and capable of light off-roading. The Nissan Qashqai, Kia Sportage and the Volkswagen Tiguan are its closest rivals, but none of them offers such off-road ability.

Is the Skoda Yeti Outdoor a good car?
The Yeti’s interior looks a bit dated and bland when compared to the most modern rivals, but the quality is still excellent and the controls are easy to use. Passenger and luggage space is where the Yeti Outdoor shines because it offers unrivalled headroom and a very versatile boot.
On tarmac the Yeti Outdoor is the same to drive as the regular Yeti, meaning its agile and contains body roll well. Four-wheel-drive models get a special button on the dash that is supposed to aid the driver when off-roading, by altering the setup of systems such as the car’s ABS brakes and stability control.
When it comes to engine choice it is best to stay with the diesels as they offer good fuel economy and plenty of power. The 2.0-litre diesel is our pick, as it offers a perfect blend of pulling power and fuel efficiency. The only available petrol, a 1.2-litre, is quick, but also thirsty and noisy.
Rugged, spacious, well-built and fun to drive – the Yeti is like an annoying friend that is good at everything
All models come with air-conditioning, remote central locking, electric front windows and 17-inch alloy wheels. In our opinion, it’s worth dipping further into your pocket (to the tune of about £1,500) for SE trim, which brings useful additional features such as cruise control, electric rear windows, and rear parking sensors.
As with the regular version, the Skoda Yeti Outdoor remains a very appealing ownership prospect. Though more recent rivals are beginning to show up the car’s age, the Skoda Yeti Outdoor is a well-rounded family SUV that, in this guise, can also be seen as a legitimate (and much more affordable) alternative to more dedicated off-roaders such as the Land Rover Discovery Sport.
Factor in that the Skoda Yeti Outdoor is no more expensive to buy initially than the regular Skoda Yeti, and you have the makings of a highly practical car with plenty of other positive attributes going for it.
How much is the Skoda Yeti Outdoor?
The Skoda Yeti Outdoor has a RRP range of £17,040 to £29,085. The price of a used Skoda Yeti Outdoor on Carwow starts at £7,999.
What's it like to drive?
Unlike quite a few other cars in this class, the Skoda Yeti Outdoor can actually deal with rougher terrain surprisingly well. Though there are limits to where it can go, and some of the more crucial off-roading items (such as protective covers for the engine and gearbox) are only available as optional extras.
The Yeti isn't a true off-roader but it will cope with rougher roads than you may imagine
What's it like inside?
Though the changes on the outside help distinguish a Skoda Yeti Outdoor from a regular Skoda Yeti, little if anything is done on the inside to differentiate the two.
