Škoda Yeti Laurin & Klement

Škoda has begun UK sales of its Yeti Laurin & Klement. Based on the existing Elegance variant, the newcomer adds plenty of extra equipment for a £2,000 price premium.

That name honours Václav Laurin and Václav Klement, the founders of the company that eventually became Škoda Auto. It has traditionally been applied to high-end Škoda models, a custom that the Yeti version continues.

The interior specification includes black leather upholstery with silver stitching, piano black trim, a panoramic sunroof, a heated windscreen, satellite navigation, a DAB radio, special floor mats and parking sensors.

On the outside, the Laurin & Klement is identified by its 17” polished alloy wheels, chrome-trimmed side protection mouldings, unique door sill scuff plates and a set of silver roof rails.

As befits its range-topping status, the Yeti Laurin & Klement is only available with all-wheel drive. Buyers have a choice of one petrol and two diesel engines, with prices starting from £24,835:

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
