Skoda Yeti: we're still completing kerb weight, ground clearance and turning circle.
A blank cell below means we don't have that figure, not that the car scores badly on it. We leave them empty rather than estimate, so any row where one car is blank isn't a like-for-like comparison yet.

Safety Rundown
ANCAP safety ratings have not been published for both models yet. We will update this section when crash test results are available.
Feature Showdown
Both come with modern infotainment systems.
The Hyundai Venue stands out with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto and wireless charging — features our data doesn't list for the Skoda Yeti. Which feature set matters more depends on your daily routine and priorities.
Interior trim differs: the Hyundai Venue gets cloth upholstery while the Skoda Yeti offers fabric.
Drivetrain
The Hyundai Venue uses a Petrol producing 90kW and 151Nm of torque, sent through a manual to a FWD layout. It covers the 0-100km/h sprint in 10.4 seconds.
The Skoda Yeti responds with a 4 cylinder inline turbocharged engine with high pressure direct injection making 77kW and 175Nm, paired to a 6-speed manual driving the front wheels. It gets to 100km/h in 11.4 seconds.
The Hyundai Venue has the clear power advantage at 90kW vs 77kW. In the 0-100 sprint (manufacturer-claimed), the Hyundai Venue is 1.0s quicker. For most buyers, the way each car feels day-to-day matters more than outright acceleration.
Space & Comfort
The Hyundai Venue measures 4,040mm long on a 2,520mm wheelbase, 183mm shorter than the Skoda Yeti at 4,223mm (2,578mm wheelbase). The longer wheelbase on the Skoda Yeti generally means more rear legroom.
Boot space is 355L in the Hyundai Venue and 321L in the Skoda Yeti, giving the Hyundai Venue a 34L advantage.
For towing, the Skoda Yeti leads with a 1,200kg braked capacity vs 1,100kg. That 100kg difference matters if you regularly hitch up.
