2012 SKODA Citigo 5 doors 1.0L MPI 5MT FWD (60 HP)

Vehicle Overview

The mini segment was very important in Europe, where narrow streets and sharp curves are almost in every city. This is why Skoda, a member of the Volkswagen Group, joined the game with the little Citigo in both 3 and 5 doors.

It was built on the same platform with Seat Mii and Volkswagen up!, on the NSF platform (New Small Family). Basically, most of the car was the same as the other two from the group. It had a different hood, headlights, and slightly different rear tailgate and taillights. But al three of them were produced in the same factory.

Inside, there are some large metal parts exposed, like in a 1980’s car, but if someone needs an umbrella on wheels the Citigo was a good option. The car featured a removable navigation system, that could have been plugged on top of the dashboard. And, due to its incorporated battery pack, it could be used outside the vehicle for a walk to the destination. The instrument cluster had three dials. A large speedometer, a fuel level, and the coolant temperature. The tachometer was removed due to a lack of space. In the rear, the access was easy thanks to the wide opening of the doors. The rear windows were on hinges on the front side and could have been opened a little bit outwards. There was enough room for two adults and enough trunk space to carry a few pizza boxes.

Under the hood, it came with a small, 1.0-liter engine in two power options. It was available with a manual or automatic gearbox.
