Skoda Yeti 4x4

People do not tire of talking about the mythical creature, white fur and sharp teeth, living in the mountains of ice. Although they have never met, people still speak with great conviction of their meeting with residents of peace high spin, which is said to show the soul loses many regional lines of eternal ice security of the valley below. Škoda Auto celebrated a new member of our models, which have been given names that help people, snow: The Skoda Yeti launched. selection name does have a deeper meaning. The Skoda Yeti strong, was made to move under difficult conditions and assist passengers with where others give up. But it has the advantage over the original Yeti: Unlike him, it is also fun in warmer regions, find its way not only in difficult terrain and off road, but with the same confidence and security on the road.

This is the aim of the designers had in mind when developing Skoda Yeti, five in the range of Škoda models incorporate the virtues which so far has been directed by a car in a completely different segment, but does not exist in a single vehicle. In other words, handling and comfort of driving mid-range classic, combined with brilliant off-road capabilities. That the vehicle shall also provide a space above average, high capacity and a high towing capacity increased its share further.
The results mark a new chapter in the history of Škoda very diverse. Although in the past there were some off-road vehicles in the Škoda brand long-established, they have never even remotely meet the high demands of compliance without compromise to drive on normal roads and off road is not Skoda Yeti.
The important first all-terrain Škoda prototype of the Skoda Superb 3000 – Kfz 15 (Type 956). From 1942 to 1943, was constructed as a sedan with a 3.1-liter, in-line six-cylinder engine and four-wheel drive. Type 973 off-road vehicles built from 1952 to 1956 and leave a trail thanks to the relevance of off-road, wading depth of 600 mm, the ability to climb 85 per cent and very good handling on the road.

Skoda Citigo

Škoda is continuing its product offensive by introducing its seventh model line. With the Škoda Citigo, at 3.56m long, the Mladá Boleslav automaker is entering the A00 segment. The Škoda Citigo will debut on the domestic Czech market by the end of 2011. Other European countries will follow at the beginning of summer 2012. The Škoda Citigo offers maximum utilisation of space and seats for four passengers. The Škoda Citigo will be launched as a three-door, with a five-door version to come in 2012.

"The Škoda Citigo is one of the pillars of our growth strategy. It paves the way for our brand to enter a very promising segment," said Škoda Board Chairman Prof. Dr. h.c. Winfried Vahland "The new product fully meets the corporate philosophy of the Škoda Brand expressed through the "Simply Clever" slogan. Despite its small size, it offers ample interior space, but is surprisingly agile, and attractive in terms of trims and technologies used. Although the Škoda Citigo is a small car, it is a typical Škoda—and as such fits perfectly with our plans."The designers managed to give the car a distinct look that declares at first glance: this is the new Škoda. The finned grille set in a chrome-plated frame and precisely shaped headlamps give the car the typical Škoda look. The designers have done a fantastic job on the rest of the car's body. With a length of 3.56 metres, width of 1.65 metres and height of 1.48 metres, the Škoda Citigo is one of the smallest vehicles in its segment. The volume of the luggage compartment is 251 litres. It can be extended to 951 litres by folding down the rear seats.

The key target groups are young drivers, young families looking to get themselves a second or even third car, and also "best agers." They are customers who are rather cost-sensitive and have a rational approach to cars on the one hand but high demands for quality, practicality, design and safety on the other. Škoda did not have much to offer such groups of customers in the small car segment. Prof. Vahland: "We can see that the demand for small cars with low fuel consumption, at a favourable price and with reasonable operating costs is growing. Škoda's new small vehicle is a reaction to this trend. We are entering new ground and the Škoda Citigo will attract a lot of customers mainly in our European markets. "The Škoda Citigo places great emphasis on safety. For the first time in a Škoda vehicle, the designers have used a Head-Thorax side airbag to protect the heads of both the driver and the front seat passenger and together with other elements it forms an exemplary safety packet in its class. In addition, active safety is significantly enhanced by the new "City Safe Drive" brake assistant. The system is automatically activated at speeds below 30 km/h and a laser sensor identifies a danger of collision. Along with the Volkswagen up!, the Škoda Citigo is currently the only car in the small vehicle segment to offer the emergency braking functionality.
Two new, three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engines will be available after the Škoda Citigo's launch: both have a volume of 1.0 litre and their power
outputs are 44 kW/60 HP and 55 kW/75 HP. In the economical Green Tec version average consumption is 4.2l/100km and 4.3l/100km respectively. Emissions are 97g and 99g CO2/km respectively. Fuel consumption and emissions are 4.5l/100km and 105g CO2 per km for the 44kW engine. The engine with a power output of 55kW consumes 4.7l/100km and emits 108g of CO2 per km.
