Finally Skoda's Yeti has come out of hiding! Following last week’s spy shots, Skoda has pulled the wraps off its first-ever off-roader at the Geneva Motor Show.

It comes with front or four-wheel-drive, and aims to appeal to people who don’t want a ‘full-on’ off roader.

The Yeti is similar in size to the Roomster supermini-MPV, and is just as practical inside, with up to 1,760 litres of boot space. In the front, the raised seating position should provide drivers with a great view of the road ahead.

Under the bonnet, buyers will be able to choose from a wide range of turbocharged engines. The petrol line-up kicks off with a front-wheel-drive 104bhp 1.2 TSI model, and is topped off by a 4x4 158bhp 1.8 TSI version.

Whichever model customers choose, Skoda claims the Yeti will offer decent off-road ability while not compromising on-road performance. Sales are due to start in the UK in September.

Rivalling entry-level versions of VW’s Tiguan, with prices likely to start from a bargain £13,000.
