Skoda has given its entry-level model, the Citigo, a facelift. Skoda has updated the hatchback with a slew of sporty visual cues and new creature comforts.
The new Skoda Citigo gets redesigned bumpers, LED daytime running lights for headlamps and fog lamps with cornering function. The rear section gets tinted tail lights. The roof and the wing mirrors are available in contrasting white or black as an optional extra. Customers can opt for 14-inch, 15-inch or 16-inch wheels.
Inside, the Citigo gets new upholstery, climate control and a multifunction steering wheel. The Swing infotainment system allows smartphone pairing. It also gets an emergency brake system to prevent collisions in city traffic with the help of a laser sensor integrated into the rear-view mirror mount.
Under the hood is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine, offered in two states of tune. The lower variant delivers 60bhp while the sprightlier version churns out 75bhp. Customers can avail the option of either a five-speed manual or an automated shift gearbox.
The Citigo is available in both three door and five door variants, and five trims - S, SE, Colour Edition, SE L and Monte Carlo. Prices start at GBP 8,635 (Rs 7.25 lakh) in the UK.
