Used Skoda Citigo buying guide
There are several powertrain options available with the Citigo. Used examples can be found with a couple of different petrol engines paired with either a manual or automatic gearbox.
Petrol
- Entry-level 1.0-litre three-cylinder produces 59bhp and takes 14.4 seconds to go from 0 to 62mph.
- Higher-performance 73bhp variant reduces the 0-62mph time to 13.5 seconds.
- Equipped with GreenTech (stop-start technology), the entry-level 1.0-litre engine returns up to 67.3mpg, with the higher-output motor offering up to 65.7mpg.
Practicality
Even as a city car, there is a large amount of interior space. The carmaker has made good use of the space, making the Citigo a decent family car.
Interior space
- Tall adults can fit in the front seats, and drivers will be most comfortable with the available height-adjustable seat.
- Two adults can fit in the back seat, but it is best suited for adults who aren't tall.
- ISOFIX child seat mounts are found in the two back seats, but they are easier to access on the five-door model.
Boot space
- 251-litre boot is one of the largest in the segment, providing enough space to hold some shopping bags.
- 60:40 rear split seats increase the boot size to 959 litres in the five-door variants and 951 litres in the three-door models.
- Four bag hooks included in the boot to secure cargo.
Bodystyles
Three-door Citigo has a sportier appearance.
Five-door Citigo offers easier access to the rear seat, and is better suited for families.
Safety
- 2019 Euro NCAP crash test rating is three out of five stars.
- Child occupant has the highest rating of 83%, while adult occupant is at 81%.
- Standard safety kit includes four airbags, and City Safe autonomous emergency braking is available.
Technology
A USB port and 12V socket were available in some models.
Available removable navigation system could be mounted to the included cradle found on the centre stack.
Different generations of used Skoda Citigo
The Skoda Citigo was released in 2011, as a mechanically identical twin of the SEAT Mii and Volkswagen UP!. While these three models were mechanically identical to one another, the Skoda version came with a waterfall-type grille and wider headlamps than the others. Skoda decided to discontinue the Citigo in 2019 while it was still in its first generation, in order to focus more heavily on the EV lineup.
