Skoda Yeti test drive since 2009 -

Diesel versions of Skoda Yeti and Octavia Scout C automatic transmission

Finally, Skoda introduced diesel versions of Octavia Scout and Yeti with an automatic gearbox ... What happened that we expected with great impatience. Finally, the Czechs were ripe in order to release a combination of a diesel engine and a six -speed automatic transmission into the market.


Each time, leaving off -road on Koda, we complained about a bad smelling clutch and insufficient moment on the bottoms. And the potential Yeti buyers passed the dealerships, realizing that with the automaton they would be offered only an undetrodous version.

A new set of a six -speed DSG gearbox (with double dry clutch) and already familiar to us by VW Tiguan diesel 2.0 TDI with a direct fuel injection system Common Rail. The indicators are quite decent 140 horsepower and 320 nm, and the maximum thrust is available in the range of 17502500 rpm. It provides a very worthy dynamics, eats little, works quietly. It would still be cheaper than the price of him would not be.


The track for Koda Octavia Scout, although it turned out to be half -light, gave enough impressions

In their field
In Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe organizers of the test drive found a wonderful landfill with high-speed sections and off-road. Swaying on dry asphalt, we advanced to the highway for Koda Octavia Scout. It was not at all complicated, but rather gambling. Then, already at Koda Yeti, we tested a more off-road area.
 
The first impressions are the most pleasant, given, of course, that Koda played in her field. In our dirt, it will most likely be more difficult.


Who managed to frustrate in Spain for glory, is a snowy man

Although these two cars from completely different niches, I could not resist direct comparison. Moreover, both suspensions and engines are the same, and transmission both models are equipped with an electron-boiled full-wheel drive based on the Haldex coupling. Under conditions of good adhesion of tires with a surface of 96% of the engine torque, the engine is transmitted to the front wheels, but when slipping, the system can direct up to 90% of the torque to the rear axle.

So, if you choose between Octavia Scout with its giant trunk with a volume of 650 liters and Yeti, I naturally dwell on the latter. Because the station wagon because of his rear overweight is too road. Another thing is Koda Yeti. By the way, he also has off-road electronic assistants. However, a new equipment can play a cruel joke, it gives the car opportunities that surpass its geometric cross -country ability. Therefore, outside the roads you will either ride thoughtfully and carefully, or regularly plant diesel Yeti by the most do not indulge.
