Because the Yeti is shaped like a brick so would need the engine to work harder to get the same end result...hence higher emissions....???? Hence you need to do more to reduce them???? Same engine doesn't equal same emissions if it is inside a totally different vehicle...

No offence meant to Yeti owners!

One of the reasons I'm moving from a yeti to an Octavia. £145 tax per year on a 1.2 tsi, all down to the aerodynamics. Yeti is great fun to drive though.

I'm going from 140 Diesel 4x4 to 150 Diesel Octy estate, will miss the brilliant cornering of the 4x4, but the drop from £180 to £30 is significant, plus a huge amount of extra boot space.

Have loved the Yeti, but its time to move on...(or back in my case)

Yeah same here, pre yeti I had 5 other octavias, 2x hatch 3x estates

I wouldn't buy a diesel car unless it had SCR (AdBlue). As a system to meet emissions legislation, it is far superior to EGR + DPF.
