Can an AMG beat a Skoda OFF-ROAD?!

Thanks to Darkside Advancement for providing us their Yeti: @DarksideDevelopments
Thanks to Q Drive Efficiency for lending us their :

Which will be better off-road – a ₤ 174,000 , or a ₤ 2,000 Yeti? Well, we will find out!

So let's see how the 2 compare. Starting with the , it's powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 which can provide 585hp and 850Nm of torque. It's also built on a ladder frame chassis with 3 lockable diffs, and it's pretty heavy, tipping the scales at around 2,500 kg.

In comparison, the Yeti can be found in a lot lighter, at around 1,500 kg! But it's likewise method down on power, with its tuned 2-litre TDI Diesel engine producing 181hp and 407Nm. Nevertheless, it's also been raised and had some underfloor assistance added to it, so it's definitely prepared to go off-road!

So how will this one play out – will it be a simple win for the G63? Or could the Yeti nab it? You'll require to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

      Do all the touareg generations ! Mk 1 touareg came with low range and two diff locks (occasionally only one), I think the next gens are only Haldex systems

      Edit: also I think Darkside made some crazy touareg mods!

      No I don’t want to sell my car on Carwow. I’m very happy with my 4×4 2 litre diesel Skoda Yeti! Handles well, good off road, good MPG. Only drawback is the tiny boot.

      @Samurai 4×4 only the Yeti doesn’t have low range or locking diffs.
      The 7L V6 has locking centre. 7L V10 has locking centre and rear. 7P V6 has rear and centre. All 3 have low range. V10 getting a locking front soon too.
      Come to Parkwood in June and show us all up.

    The little Skoda is very impressive for a low-priced vehicle with a few mods. Great video, as always.

      @Spasm975 you are correct, but tires actually have massive difference in off roading. Car guys say that a new set of good tires is the best upgrade for any vehicle.

      Yeh, both on off-road tyres and the G wins everything. But that would be boring, and I’d still rather throw the skoda around

      ​@Spasm975 yeh but, if that G had the same tyres as the skoda and driven the same way it would have won every challenge…. hence why the right tyre is so important t

      @Artur Eestlane Sure, it has a big impact, but if you look at 14:15 challenge, you’ll see that G wagon with road tires hasn’t slipped at all and could “walk it” easily while Skoda had to send it to make it through – even though Skoda had offroad tires which should be superior in this challenge

      Yes. Tires are key. G is still an expensive way to go but nearly unstoppable with a proper setup. Older non-AMG models will accept down to a 16″ wheel and you can fit some proper tires.

    Lightweight and off-road tires, certainly make a big difference to performance off-road. Yeti is a good little car anyway. Those mods certainly upped its game. 😊
