On safety, the event Director stated that the Skoda Yeti achieved the highest rating of five stars in the independent Euro New Car Assessment Programme test in its category. The Yeti has Dual Supplemental Restraint Support Air Bags for the driver and front passenger as well as 2 side Air Bags and 4 Curtain Air Bags.
