About the Skoda Citigo
The Skoda Citigo is a badge-engineered sibling to the Volkswagen Up! and SEAT Mii, forming part of the Volkswagen Group's New Small Family (NSF) platform. Launched in 2011, it quickly became a favourite in the UK for its 'big car' refinement, agile handling, and class-leading interior space despite its tiny footprint. The 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine in SE trim provides adequate performance for urban environments while maintaining exceptionally low running costs. It remains a benchmark for how much utility and driving enjoyment can be squeezed into a budget-focused city car.
