Front-wheel-drive Yetis are offered with a choice of three turbocharged engines. The 1.2-litre petrol revs smoothly and is all that most buyers will need. Many diesel buyers will choose the 103bhp 1.6 TDI but there's also a 108bhp 2.0 TDI. Four-wheel-drive Yetis get 108bhp, 138bhp and 168bhp versions of the 2.0 TDI engine, or a 158bhp 1.8 petrol. A dual-clutch automatic gearbox is optional on the 1.2 petrol and high-powered 2.0 diesels. The range-topping four-wheel drive Yeti is surprisingly good off-road, because it has all sorts of clever gizmos to help you along in the slippery stuff. Like every model, it offers grippy handling and sharp steering, too, so it’s a hoot to drive on winding roads. Unfortunately, the ride is unsettled at all speeds – unless the road is smoother than a cue ball.
The Yeti lets in quite a bit of wind- and road noise at motorway speeds, while the 2.0-litre diesel engines also disappoint because they cause vibrations in the cabin. The petrol engines are smoother, and the Yeti also has a slick gearshift and well-weighted pedals.
