Skoda Citigo, a popular small car that was expected to hit the Indian roads in coming months, is not going to be launched in the Indian market anytime soon, as per a statement given by a senior company official, recently. The Skoda Citigo is expected to change the equation of small car segment, where it will be taking on with some of the best selling cars in India including Maruti Alto and recently Hyundai Eon.
The launch of the car is seems to have been postponed to give Volkswagen’s UP model a clear entry in the Indian market. The Skoda’s parent Volkswagen will be displaying its much talked about compact car UP at the upcoming Delhi international Auto expo, which will be followed by its launch in the country a few months later.
In a recent statement given to NDTV, a top Skoda executive said that the company will not be showcasing the car at the upcoming Delhi International Auto expo, where a number of car enthusiast were looking forward to take the first glimpse of this small car. This indicates that it will take more than a year time to hit the Indian roads.
The Citigo model will be featuring the same 1.0L engine which is available in the Volkswagen UP! with two different power versions at 59 Bhp and 74 Bhp, respectively.
