Skoda Yeti

With the current weather conditions many motorists would have loved to have had a four-wheel drive vehicle to cope with the icy roads. For many motorists however the usual 4×4 vehicle is just too big and not affordable.

However the new Skoda Yeti may be an option to consider, the next time you are leasing a car, as it has all the benefits of a 4×4 vehicle with all the practicality of a hatchback/estate car. The Yeti has been making light work of the UK’s treacherous roads and combines bold styling plus a high level of standard equipment. For example electric front windows, CD player, air conditioning, six airbags and Skoda’s hugely practical Varioflex seating system are all standard across the range. Skoda car leasing on the whole petrol/diesel, front and four-wheel drive Yeti range is available now.

New Outlander variants

Mitsubishi Motors has announced the arrival of two new models of their versatile Outlander range, namely the Outlander 2.0 DI-D SE and GSE. This all-purpose vehicle has been designed with an active family in mind offering estate car versatility, all wheel drive stability and class leading green credentials.

The Mitsubishi Outlander SE offers outstanding value for money with 18-inch alloys, Bluetooth, cruise control, privacy glass, third row seats plus side and curtain airbags to name just a few.

Service intervals are 12,500 or 12 months, 3 year unlimited mileage warranty, 12-year anti-corrosion warranty, plus a 3-year pan European breakdown and recovery service making this an attractive choice.
