The Skoda Citigo is part of the Volkswagen Group's 'New Small Family' (NSF) trio, alongside the VW Up! and the SEAT Mii. Designed as a pure city car (A-segment), it shines with its astonishing roominess given its size (3.56 m) and its very sound road handling. Expert note regarding your request: Although you are targeting the years 2019-2020 with a petrol engine, it is important to specify that Skoda stopped production of the petrol versions (1.0 MPI) in mid-2019. From late 2019 to 2020, the model was exclusively marketed as a 100% electric version under the name Skoda Citigo-e iV. This sheet exhaustively covers the excellent petrol engines (2011-2019) as well as the final electric version (2019-2020).
The Skoda Citigo (and its electric version e-Citigo) is one of the most reliable and rational city cars on the used market. The 1.0 MPI petrol engine is a model of robustness, devoid of the complex problems associated with turbos or direct injections of the larger VW Group engines. It is a highly recommended purchase for urban use or young drivers. Buying advice: Favor a 60 or 75 hp 1.0 MPI version with a manual gearbox (absolutely avoid the ASG automated gearbox). If your budget and usage allow it, the electric Citigo-e iV version (2019-2020) is a little-known gem offering excellent urban range.
