Škoda Citigo
Encyclopedia
The Škoda Citigo is a small car produced in Bratislava
, Slovakia. Citigo production started in October 2011, and the car will be launched in the Czech Republic
first, then in the rest of the Europe, as well as Asian (except Japan
) and Russian markets, in 2012. Currently there is only a 3-door-version. The 5-door version should come in 2012. Two engine options are available. Boot space is 251 litres, and 951 litres with the rear seats folded down. The drag coefficient
is 0.33.
The car shares the same Volkswagen Group MQB platform
with the Volkswagen up!
and the SEAT Mii
, as a result of the New Small Family project. Along with its two sisters, the Citigo is the first car in its class to offer a automated braking system
– called “City Safe Drive” by Škoda. The system is automatically activated at speeds below 30 kilometre per hour as a laser sensor identifies a danger of collision and activate the brakes.
