Its launch price of €9,440 positioned it as an accessible alternative for those seeking a practical and economical car.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Citigo, the predominant feeling is that of an agile and easy-to-handle car. Its 60 hp, although modest, are sufficient to move around urban environments with ease, where its compact size facilitates parking and maneuverability. The electric power steering contributes to a light and comfortable drive, ideal for daily use. On the road, its performance is more limited, but it is adequate for short journeys and moderate speeds. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and torsion beam with trailing arm at the rear, offers an adequate balance between comfort and stability for its segment.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 3-door Skoda Citigo is simple and functional, reflecting its urban purpose. Its lines are clean and unpretentious, seeking to maximize interior space within contained dimensions. With a length of 3563 mm, a width of 1641 mm, and a height of 1478 mm, it is a car that integrates perfectly into the urban landscape. The interior, although basic in materials, is well organized and offers surprising habitability for its size, with 4 seats and a 251-liter trunk, very useful for shopping or weekend luggage.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2012 Skoda Citigo focuses on the essential and practical. Its 1.0-liter, 3-cylinder gasoline engine, with indirect injection, prioritizes fuel efficiency, achieving a combined 4.5 l/100km according to the NEDC cycle. The 5-speed manual transmission is precise and contributes to a direct driving experience. Although it does not have the latest innovations in connectivity or driving assistance, its basic equipment meets the expectations of a car in its segment and price, offering what is necessary for safe and comfortable driving.
Competition
In the competitive urban segment, the Skoda Citigo faced direct rivals such as the Volkswagen up! and the SEAT Mii, with which it shared a platform and many components, offering a very similar proposal in terms of performance and concept. Other competitors included models such as the Fiat Panda, the Hyundai i10, or the Kia Picanto, all of them striving to offer the best combination of size, price, and functionality for the urban environment.

The 2012 Skoda Citigo 3p 1.0 MPI 60 CV Ambition is a car that more than fulfills its promise: to be an efficient, practical, and economical urban vehicle. Its functional design, its agility in the city, and its low consumption make it a very attractive option for those looking for a faithful companion for daily life in the city.
