The Škoda Citigo offers drivers a fun and practical drive. The Škoda Citigo is a perfect car for commuters or small families looking for an affordable car with its inexpensive running costs. The Citigo is available with either three-doors or five-doors and comes with a range of petrol engines.

Škoda Citigo updates and facelifts

Launched in 2011, the Citigo was the smallest car from Škoda. A year later, in 2012, Škoda released a five-door version of the Citigo, which offered passengers easier access to the rear seats.

Škoda introduced a facelift of the Citigo in 2017. The design changes to the interior included the addition of a removable infotainment and navigation system. This mount can also be used to hold smartphone devices. Both the three-door and five-door versions underwent the same facelift.

Practicality and style of the car

The Škoda Citigo has decently sized boot for the size of the car. With the rear seats folded up both the three-door and five-door variants offer 251-litres of boot space. By folding down the rear seats, owners can expand this to 951 litres in the three-door and 959 litres in the five-door variant.

In comparison to rivals, the Škoda Citigo offers a larger boot than the Toyota Aygo, with its 168 litres or 198 litres when expanded. The Škoda Citigo matches the Volkswagen up!’s boot capacity, which has 251 litres, or 951 litres with the seats folded down. The Škoda Citigo offers owners enough space to hold several suitcases or shopping, ideal for a weekend getaway.

The Citigo can also come with a variable floor, which can be used to store valuables out of sight or neatly store safety equipment.

Running costs

The Škoda Citigo falls into insurance groups 1 to 4 and has an annual road tax of up to £180. The Citigo falls into a lower insurance group than its rivals, as the Volkswagen up! falls into groups 1 to 17 and the Kia Picanto falls into groups 1 to 11. This makes the Škoda Citigo a low-cost car to insure and run.
