Skoda Yeti Monte Carlo

WHAT IS IT?

A special edition of Skoda’s charming Yeti.

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW?

Mechanically? Nothing. The engine’s a 2.0-litre diesel job we’ve seen many a time elsewhere. The Monte Carlo justifes its £2,360 premium over a typical SE with extra kit. Besides the black roof and fancy alloys, there’s some faux-carbon trim, stainless steel pedals, special seats and a sporty steering wheel.

SHOULD I CARE?

Unless you particularly like the way it looks, no. By all means buy a normal Yeti – they really are very good. And the Monte Carlo is very good, too. Just not £2,360 better.
