Hi Noel,
That's a good shortlist. We've only tried Hyundai's new 1.7-litre engine in a Kia Sportage, but it's an improvement in terms of economy, emissions and refinement over the 2.0-litre engine we tested recently in the ix35. Saying that, the Skoda Yeti is one of our absolute favourite crossovers. In comparison to the ix35, it feels of better quality and is much nicer to drive. The 1.6-litre TDI engine is a good one, though the Hyundai may feel a little quicker.
The Skoda's looks will split opinion, but that one's up to you!
Hope that helps.
