This is the most beautiful dispute in the family: the Skoda Yeti asks his cousin, the VW Tiguan, to a duel. This has been King of the compact SUV - it crashes the Skoda? A comparison test of the 2.0 TDI models.
Around 22 billion tonnes snow, informed the German weather service, had by mid March on Germany herumgelegen. More than enough so to avarice is once again in detail and to swear at the Ausbuddeln, the next time sure to buy a car with all-wheel drive.
With the icy season expected as the Skoda Yeti, bearing the name of a snow monster and already a certain connectedness and joy of visiting. He uses same base for such as his cousin, the Volkswagen Tiguan. Because of its success, so far no other compact roaders came, the Volkswagen Group, just himself to an equal opponent cares.
With the Skoda holds ausstattungsbereinigt 4,100 EUR and outwardly good 20 cm distance from the VW. Less car for less so? With regard to the space, already. With the amount of space the Yeti from its shrinking dimensions creates, for four adults unrushed sufficient - also because taking clever advantage of the space with the rear seat system borrowed from the Roomster: the two wide outdoor courts and the narrow middle seat are separately along relocatable, neigungsverstell-, umklapp-and detachable. Also you grouped outdoor seats to a more comfortable two combined in, if the middle seat is out there. This Variabilitats acrobatics countered the Tiguan (the VW Tiguan in the Super test) with a soft-padded rear seat with tilt-adjustable backrest. Asymmetric divided it can also longitudinal shift. In the folded down, the seats in the foot space dive which creates a flat surface but only with the optional, variable luggage compartment floor (165 euros). In contrast to the standard size is the maximum loading capacity of Tiguan just below the the complete closing Yeti (the Skoda Yeti in individual tests).
Both drive like compact car
Greater than the differences in the space for driver and front passenger what is based mainly in the uppigeren width of VW fall. On high mounted in the sport & style standard, excellent sport seats feel involves rather a to drive an SUV, as on the Yeti also very comfortable seats. The lower mounting position more integrated the crew in the car, which seems almost like a compact car.
An impression is confirmed when driving. Here free, with less tendency to page and without any problem in the handling of the Skoda to bends drives. It succeeds the VW but just as well, especially if he is on the way in the sport mode of the optional Adaptive damping system (1,045 euro). In the Yeti, already the normal landing gear is enough to to exceed the balance of the Tiguan comfort. The VW with advantages in handling, however, with his precise, reverse message enterprising steering.
Both be good only for smaller site tours
Their excellent on-road talents buy the two with slightly limited off-road capability. Reflected in the Tiguan sport & style already on his large front overhang, which reduces the angle of repose to 18 degrees, back he is 25 degrees. With 19 and 26 degrees, minimally better truncates the Yeti, but has 1.5 inch less ground clearance. Nevertheless, his 18 inches for smaller Gelandekraxeleien range.
That it takes only 4 x 4 with two identical all-wheel system to power, that is in VW 4Motion, for Skoda. Normally flows almost complete power to the front wheels. Speed differences occur between front and rear axles, includes the electro-hydraulic controlled Haldex clutch and distributes the force between the wheels - up to 100 percent of an axis. Instead of Differenzialsperren, it leaves the system at selective wheel braking intervention.
There is always sufficient traction
All this works in practice unobtrusive and very effectively. The four-wheel drive at any time providing both high traction, even icy driveways to the ski lifts climb up them unimpressed. Down the mountain runs aid intervenes - in the Tiguan, it costs EUR 96.
When the engine options, the overlap between the more favourably positioned Yeti and the Tiguan is limited to the two litre diesel with 140 to 170 HP. The weaker version of common-rail limitation is sufficient, provides sufficient torque and temperament.
The Skoda Yeti is stronger
Despite almost identical performance, the engine in the Yeti appears however stronger, turning more and at the same time kultivierter as in the Tiguan. In two cars, the engines are
verkuppelt with a precise switching and well graded six-speed transmission. This finally explains the small differences in driving values and consumption. The higher just under 80 kg weight of the Tiguan is the larger dimensions and poor visibility due to the large D-pillars in everyday life so not a disadvantage, rather. The Yeti with its large window surfaces and the kast-Stern is one of, however, to the particularly clear cars.
The cost rating brings the victory the Skoda
The Skoda wins the comparison but only in the cost classification thanks to lower base price, larger facilities - in the case of experience with bi-xenon light - and the lower monthly charges. He is the more favourable and more pragmatic car - even if the 22 billion-ton winter is already snow yesterday.
