SKODA is continuing its growth
offensive by introducing its sixth production model. Citigo is the name
of ŠKODA's exciting new city car. The brand's new model will make its
debut in its domestic market, the Czech Republic, before the end of this
year, with the UK and other European countries following at the
beginning of summer 2012. Offering impressive amounts of space and four
seats, the Citigo will be launched in three-door and five-door versions.
The designers have given the car a
distinct look that defines this as a new ŠKODA. The finned grille set in
a chrome-plated frame and precisely shaped headlamps give the car a
typical ŠKODA look. The Citigo will measure just 3.56 metres long, 1.65
metres wide and 1.48 metres high.
The Citigo’s interior not only offers
practical space but also a high level of quality and precision in its
design. Front headrests integrated into the seats, as well as a number
of other smart solutions, make the Citigo a ‘simply clever vehicle’. The
interior design includes numerous storage compartments, cup holders and
multimedia systems, as well as storage pockets on the sides of the front
seats. In addition, a special bag hook integrated in to the glovebox
handle, and a photograph holder on the central console, are two clever
interior elements.
Two new, three-cylinder 1.0-litre
petrol engines will be available after the Citigo's launch (44kW/60PS
and 55kW/75PS). The engines and the transmission have been designed to
provide optimum economy in cities and their surroundings. Reaching the
operating temperature even on short distances, the engines are highly
economical. Two highly economical green engines will offer impressively
low fuel consumption figures of 67.3mpg and 65.7mpg respectively; with
emissions of just 97g and 99g CO2/km respectively. The fuel
consumption and emission levels for the standard engines are also low –
62.8mpg and 105g CO2/km with the 60PS engine and 60.1mpg and
108g CO2/km with the 75PS unit.
