Now back to the car, which once was a pioneer of line SUV from the Czech manufacturer. Model "Yeti" appeared on the European market for the first time in 2009. She quickly gained popularity among sophisticated audience and was awarded the title of best family car of the year. Note that in the classical sense of "Bigfoot" cannot be called SUV manufacturer rather positions it as a compact crossover. Its creation was based on the popular SUV from Japanese manufacturer Nissan, whose name is "Tiguan". Ultimately it is built on the same platform and has the same engine as this car, but the price of the Czech representative of the automotive industry on it were lower. It is not surprising that the crossover has earned this recognition from motorists.

Him make a big bet as the representative of the segment of large SUVs that can compete with "the Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorrento".
It is Known that the new SUV is based on the platform MQB, which is available from the "Tiguan" the last generation. This gives grounds to assume that the car will be available in both front-wheel and all-wheel drive system. However, he will be equipped with a wide range of powertrains, with the degree of forcing from 115 HP to 240 HP as the transmission offers a manual transmission and the DSG.
Compared to "Bigfoot" in size SUV "Skoda Snowman" is very different from the legendary crossover. Length, width and height respectively 4,6/1,8/1,8 meters. The car has a serious wheelbase, equal to 2.77 meters, which allowed to acquire “frosty” spacious interior. The SUV will be offered in five-seater and seven-seater version. Acceptable clearance 18 cm, together with a good geometry of the body allows you to show a good off-road ability.

In addition, the new SUV Skoda is equipped with two more variants of petrol engines capacity of 150 and 180 “horsepower”, and displacement respectively of 1.4 and 2.0 liters. The youngest engine is set to "Skoda Snowman" with front wheel drive. It should be noted that if necessary, you can deactivate twocylinder, in this regard, the fuel economy will be about 50 %.
