Skoda Citigo Updates

Thursday, 14 November 2024 10:28 AM The Skoda Citigo e iV, an electric version of the Citigo, has been praised for its affordability and city-friendly design. It is one of the cheapest electric cars available, with prices starting from around £17,455 after the UK government grant. However, its interior feels somewhat cheap, and the range of 160 miles is less than some of its competitors. I think its a great option for those with short commutes and access to overnight charging.

Sunday, 20 October 2024 03:18 PM Skoda has discontinued the sale of the Citigo e iV in the UK, focusing instead on larger and more profitable electric vehicles like the Skoda Enyaq iV. This move aligns with the companys strategy to meet EU emissions regulations and shift towards more advanced EV models. I believe this decision will help Skoda stay competitive in the evolving electric vehicle market.

Sunday, 15 September 2024 09:31 PM The Skoda Citigo e iV boasts impressive charging times, with an 80% recharge achievable in just over an hour using a 40kW DC charger, and around four-and-a-half hours with a 7.2kW AC wall box. This makes it convenient for daily use, especially for city driving. I think the charging speed is a significant advantage for this car.

Sunday, 25 August 2024 06:38 PM Despite its compact size, the Skoda Citigo e iV offers decent space, including a 251-liter boot that can expand to 959 liters when the rear seats are folded. This makes it practical for short trips and daily errands. The car also features an adjustable boot floor for added convenience.

Tuesday, 30 July 2024 08:32 PM The Skoda Citigo e iV comes with three drive modes: Normal, Eco, and Eco+, which help improve the cars range by restricting power delivery and turning off the air conditioning in the Eco+ mode. This feature is particularly useful for maximizing battery life during city driving.

Thursday, 20 June 2024 06:51 AM The electric powertrain of the Skoda Citigo e iV has significantly improved its performance and refinement compared to its petrol-powered counterpart. The car is notably quieter at low speeds, enhancing the overall driving experience. I think this silence is a major plus for urban driving.

Wednesday, 15 May 2024 08:02 AM Skodas decision to keep the Citigo e iV simple, with only two trim levels (SE and SE L), makes it easier for buyers to choose. The SE L model adds features like heated seats, bigger alloy wheels, and automatic wipers, but lacks advanced features like cruise control.

Wednesday, 10 April 2024 07:45 PM The Skoda Citigo e iV is part of the VW Groups trio of tiny hatchbacks, which also includes the Volkswagen e-Up and the SEAT Mii Electric. All three models share similar mechanical components but differ in design and pricing. I believe this shared platform helps in keeping costs down.

Monday, 25 March 2024 08:39 PM The Skoda Citigo e iV has a solid build quality, with doors that slam shut reassuringly and a comfortable ride that handles road bumps well. This build quality is impressive given the cars affordable price.

Wednesday, 21 February 2024 12:08 AM The Skoda Citigo e iVs rear seats are designed for two passengers, unlike some rivals that offer three-seat rear benches. However, the space is still adequate for shorter journeys and suitable for most child sizes.
