Skoda's Yeti bags five stars at NCAP

While Skoda's have already gained the reputation of tanks here in India, the Yeti takes safety to an all new plane. Besides adult occupant protection, the overall result reflects the vehicle's excellent child occupant and pedestrian protection parameters. The Yeti's top class safety test results include those of a whiplash test, a new category established this year to assess the stability of the seats and the degree of protection of the occupants from cervical spine injuries in rear impacts. The Yeti's result is one of the best of all the vehicles tested so far.

With this Skoda has shown that it provides an equal degree of protection for passengers of all sizes, sitting in various positions in all seats. In its assessment, Euro NCAP gave very high ratings for the protection provided by the knee airbag. The Yeti can be fitted with as many as nine airbags. Thanks to the stable body structure made of high-strength steel, this compact SUV has received excellent 92 percent in the occupant protection category and, thanks to optimum protection provided by airbags, the maximum possible number of points in the side impact category.

Besides occupant protection especially child protection, pedestrian protection parameters are excellent, too. In this connection, the car has received the maximum number of points for the bumpers. The Yeti will definitely be one of the safest SUV's to be in once it arrives in India
