After six years on the market, the Czech automaker decided to do a “facelift” in the middle of the life cycle, on the principle of better late than never. While not as comprehensive as “relative” Up!
The front of the car received a “crumpled” a little hood and a revised grille. The front bumper has a wider air inlet, extending from edge to edge, and new integrated fog lamps, optional swivel.

Thanks to the generous wheelbase of 2 420 mm, the engineers were able to create a rather spacious for rear seat passengers interior, and proved that even a city car can have a 251 litre boot capacity, increasing to 951 litres with the rear seats folded.
The car is offered in four trim levels: Easy, Active, Ambition and Style, as well as in two special editions of the Skoda Citigo Monte Carlo and škoda Citigo Fun, which are characterized by many additional features.

Among options, light sensor and rain, as well as display Maxi-DOT. And among the active safety features automatic braking dominates the City Safe Drive, prevent collision in a city driving mode.
Under the hood is still offered a choice of three petrol units liter volume. Basic MPI three-cylinder unit developing 60 HP of power and propels the car to “hundreds” for 14.4 seconds. Behind him is a more powerful version of the 75 HP that from 0 to 100 km/h accelerates sitikar for 13.5 seconds, and another 68-strong unit of G-Tec, working on natural gas, making it at 16.3 seconds.
