Just been on the skoda.co.uk website and it lists the kerbweight of a Yeti 170 as 1535kg which makes it an 89% match for our caravan. This is good as its better than our current car (which I'll fess up has towed quite securely at 91% for years before anybody starts with the 85% thing). However, the brochure which I downloaded off the same site shows the kerbweight as 1460kg which is not so good, putting us at 94% and that is probably a bit too near the knuckle for me to be happy with. Can anybody please confirm which is correct?

Also, does anybody have a pic of the vario floor in place? Does it raise the floor enough to eradicate the load lip such that if I put a dog crate on it I can open the crate door which is 2 inches above the floor of the crate?

Finally, could one of you good folks confirm the width of the boot between the arches ie, at its narrowest point, and the length from the tailgate to the rear seat backrest when the seats are slid as far forward as possible (but not with the backrests folded down). All I've been able to glean off the web is that the boot holds 416 litres which is sort of useful but at the same time not.

With regards kerb weight, this is what the manual you can download states:

From memory the variable floor is slightly lower than the boot lip, but the spare wheel version is level.

Not been out with tape measure, so can't answer last question.

Width is 103cm, the wheel arches don't really intrude which is good. The outer seats move forward to give 82cm depth but the middle one does not. That means the real depth is 77cm. All of these were taken with a loose tape measure so allow a cm here or there for inaccuracies.

TP took pictures of all the boot dimensions as noted in these threads:

His flickr images have moved on a bit so they are now on page 15 and not 13 as per the posts above:

You will also find in there and image from the French brochure showing all the boot sizes in litres with the seats in various positions.

I know what you mean! I have a 170 on order for March ... with my new caravan on tow (due December) I will be somewhere between a 90 and 95% match. I think 1535KG is the one I would take notice of as the 1460KG figure does not include the 75Kg other makers include to take account of the driver and some luggage ... 1460+75 gives 1535Kg! It would be great if it had the 100Kg noseweight limit that the Tiguan has rather than 80Kg.

Still not seen a Yeti towing or on site ... but sure it will be great.
