If your business takes you into the country, if you tow, or if you occasionally stray offroad, the Skoda Yeti Offroad offers a combination of abilities that’s tough to beat at the price

Business Car Manager Road Test Verdict

A smart freshening of a lovable car that still remains an excellent choice for company car drivers with families that require a multi-role vehicle that is well built and performs impressively in most conditions.

That said, the cutesy character has been somewhat sacrificed on the corporate altar to bring the Yeti firmly within the Skoda family design language.

Gearing is high for road use compromising off-road ability although serious off-roaders would not be considering a Yeti anyway.

The increase in towing ability for the 2.0-litre TDI thanks to the new Haldex 4×4 system will be a clincher for regular towers who will be hard pressed to find a better all round package.
