It is expected to carry a price tag of Rs 10 to14 lakh. The company, however is yet to disclose the exact pricing details of this model for the Indian market. The Yeti model will feature state-of-the-art technology with clever solutions and comfort features incorporated from the Skoda design.
From the point of view of passengers safety, Yeti will be among the safest car in its price segment and will come equipped with all new generation safety features like ABS (anti-lock braking system) and multiple air-bags.
