Strategy
ŠKODA will present the new Citigo subcompact to the public
as a five-door version for the first time at the Geneva
Auto Salon in early 2012. Media representatives will be
offered a preview of the new ŠKODA including test drives in
February 2012. The five-door version will be successively
launched in European markets together with the three-door
version from mid-May 2012.
The Citigo represents ŠKODA's entry into the fast growing
subcompact segment. The new model was successfully
introduced in its home market, the Czech Republic, in late
2011. From this year, the Citigo is to conquer wholly new
customer groups for ŠKODA, thus contributing to the brand's
Growth Strategy. ŠKODA aims to increase its worldwide
deliveries to a minimum of 1.5 million units a year by
2018. In 2011, the company achieved yet another sales
record in its 117-year corporate history, selling 879,200
units.
The Citigo ranks among the most compact and at the same
time among the roomiest representatives of its segment. In
keeping with the brand's 'Simply Clever' claim, the car
impresses with a number of ingenious features such as a
photo and document holder, a bag hook on the glove
compartment, a range of net holders and the new Citigo's
many storage options.
The Citigo's designers placed great emphasis on safety,
winning the car the top score of five stars in the Euro
NCAP crash test together with the Volkswagen up! and SEAT
Mii. And another premiere: the new city car is also the
first ŠKODA model ever to sport the brand's new logo.
Powering the Citigo is a three-cylinder petrol engine with
one litre of displacement in two versions with 44 kW/60 hp
or 55 kW/75 hp. In its most efficient Green tec variant,
the new Citigo achieves a mileage of 4.1 l/100 km, CO2
emissions in the new ŠKODA model amount to just 96 g
CO2/km.
At its home market the smallest member of ŠKODA family has
recently become the Best City Car in the largest Czech
automobile poll, the Car of the Year 2012.
