The new Yeti is being offered at a slight premium to the existing variant and will feature cruise control, KESSY system and Light Assist.

In terms of safety, the new Yeti has cruise control, anti-lock braking (ABS), brake assist, tyre pressure monitors, EBC (engine braking control) and hill-hold.

The face-lifted Rapid is to be launched end-September.

“The refreshed models in our line-up reflect the new phase of Skoda India, promising products that are more practical and with the latest technologies,” Sudhir Rao, Chairman & Managing Director, Skoda Auto India, told a press conference.

“To complement our ongoing model offensive, we will focus on the overall ownership experience with the brand and will continue to retain customer satisfaction as top priority in India.”
