For The 1.2-litre turbocharged engine is amazingly punchy considering its diminutive size. The Yeti offers sharp handling and a huge cabin with plenty of storage space.

Against There’s too much wind noise and the ride is jiggly. While the cabin is solidly assembled, it isn’t particularly stylish, and the removable rear seats are heavy to lift out.

4 out of 5 stars

The Yeti is a practical and agile crossover that, with the excellent 1.2 TSI engine, is affordable to buy and run. Shame the ride is unsettled at all speeds.

Buyer's notes

Target Price team says:

The 1.2-litre turbo petrol is the pick of the range because it’s a lively performer, attractively priced and affordable to run. However, it can’t be combined with four-wheel drive – you’ll need a 1.8-litre turbo petrol or 2.0-litre diesel if you plan to head off-road. Of these, the basic 2.0 TDI is our pick, because it’s reasonably gutsy and the only one that’s available with more affordable trims.

Company car drivers will be best off choosing the 1.6 TDI Greenline II, because its low emissions put it in the 18% band for Benefit in Kind tax.

Entry-level models have most of what you want, including air-con, electric front windows and a CD player. We'd upgrade to S trim, though – you get alloys, front foglights and powered rear windows.

Next up is SE, which provides dual-zone climate control, parking sensors and a CD changer with touchscreen controls. Range-topping Elegance cars have an off-road mode, leather upholstery, rain-sensing wipers and xenon headlamps.
