Skoda runabout will be cheapest option

SKODA has confirmed that the prices for the new Citigo city car will undercut both of its sister models, the Seat Mii and the Volkswagen Up.

At £7,630 for the cheapest three-door version, the Citigo S is £215 cheaper than the equivalent Seat Mii and £365 cheaper than the basic Volkswagen Up.

The Citigo will also be available as a five-door in any of the three trim levels for a premium of £350. Above the entry-level S spec, which will include the basics and plenty of safety kit, the mid-range SE will probably be the biggest seller.

Spec sheet highlights include body-coloured door handles and mirrors, electric front windows, ESP stability control, air conditioning and remote central locking among other items, all for a price increase of £900 over a Citigo S.

At the top of the tree, Elegance models include electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, 14in alloy wheels, heated front seats, leather steering wheel and front fog lamps, as well as a removable tablet device that acts as an infotainment interface and satellite navigation system.
