The smallest Skoda. Configuration and prices

the main / Terms

Every year class-and increasingly implemented in sales. The idea of \u200b\u200bsome fighters for the environment involves the use of practical carswho have a small engine in terms of volume. An example can be called a new Skoda Citigo 2018, configuration, prices and photo worst will be considered in this article. The compact car has a low cost, and, to great regret, will not be shipped to the territory of Russia and other countries. Skoda Citigooped solely in the domestic market, that is, in the Czech Republic. Whether the car is worthwhile, which it has features - Consider a small car.

Exterior

Saltra has a discreet exterior design that does not attract attention. The automaker decided to significantly save in order to make the model as an accessible as possible. The features of the exterior can be attributed to the following moments:

The hood has a small size. Due to the fact that a liter motor is installed on the car, it became possible to reduce the front part of the body.
The radiator grille has a small size, while solved to withstand the previously selected style: the form resembles a bat. Otherwise, this part of the body is very simple.
Optics is made in the form of droplets of the wrong shape. With this, the sizes of the head optics are quite large.
On the car can be installed and fog lights: They are small, posted in special niches.
The front bumper is made on the tone of the body, which is uniquely pleased. At the same time, there is a fairly large air intake at the bottom.
You can install on this model only wheels with a diameter R13 or R14 depending on the selected rubber: wheel arches Small, do not have protection.
Definitely please the large size of the front door: it increases the review, significantly simplifies landing into the car.
The rear part of the body is represented by a bevelled door, which rises up. We note a large bumper. The lanterns are made in the form of small racks that are located on the rear door. In the upper part there were a stall pointer.

In general, the smallness is simple, does not have bright elements of the exterior.

Interior Skoda Citigo 2018

Waiting for a lot from the salon of the car under consideration is not worth it. Its features are in the following points.:

The steering wheel has a simple design, even in an expensive configuration there are no keys. It is made of plastic, there is no finishing casing from above
The instrument shield is represented by three round indicators and a small analog display. In the central part of the instrument panel there is the largest round indicator, which indicates the speed, the indicators of less important indicators are located on the parties.
The central console has a pronounced block that has round climate-system installed regulators, several keys and audio system. A standard radio regulator is installed on the car.
All panels are represented by small plastic lining. The build quality is low, a block with a small shelf and a cup holder is located between the seats. When finishing use beige colors. In this case, we note that the body can have the most different color, which will affect the interior design.
The gear selector is made in a classic style. Note that the MCPP has 6 gear shift steps. The design has a protective cover that does not allow to penetrate the garbage and foreign elements inside.
On the doors there are glass control units. IN basic configuration The car is installed on the car. The keys are made in a classic style.

The interior under consideration should be noted that it is made poorly, all the materials are simple. Doors and some parts of the body and do not have finishes at all. It is impossible to say that the small tray is suitable for everyday trips - the car is purchased only because of the low cost.

Skoda Citigo 2018 set and prices in a new body

Skoda is a suitable subsidiary. Interesting fact We will call what was initially represented only after that the Czech company on the basis of a new compact released this model. Considered configuration and prices, we note that the car comes in the following options:

FROM gasoline engine 1.0 liters. This power unit has a capacity of 60 hp It works on AI-95. The drive only front, until the first hundred, the car accelerates only in 14.4 seconds. Note that the liter motor can develop a little more than 100 km / h. Fuel consumption by automaker is not specified: This is due to the fact that at low gears the indicator is located in the region of 3 liters, but on the track it can significantly increase. The cost of this model is about 500,000 rubles. Among the options can only be noted ABS, front airbags, an electrical control package. The mechanical gearbox is simple, has 6 gear shift steps. It should be noted that the design has long been outdated, but at the same time it is still reliable.
It is also possible to purchase a small car with a motor of 1.0 liters. Engineers were able to increase the capacity of up to 75 hp. Like the previous power unit, the considered works on gasoline AI-95. Due to the insignificant increase in power, the overclocking time decreased for one second. In this configuration of significant additional options not.

Naskoda Citigo The price in Russia is unknown, and, most likely, so far, the small age will be supplied to the territory of Russia.

Specifications

The moment that the small-scale defines almost identical body sizes. To features can be attributed:

The length of the car is 3540 mm. The model under consideration can not be called the most compact in its class. For example, most sedans have a body length of about 4000 mm.
Body width 1640 mm.
In the height of 980 mm.

It should be borne in mind that the length of the wheelbase is 2420 mm. This moment determines the small space between the front and rear seats. The volume of the luggage compartment is 251 liters in the standard position of the seats of the reverse row. If you wish, you can make a quick folding of the rear row, due to the volume of the luggage compartment increases to 951 liters. Conduct the folding of the rear row can if necessary. Skoda. Citigo technical The characteristics of those that correspond to this class. Initially, the car was supplied exclusively in a three-door version. However, high popularity in the domestic market led to the appearance and five-door. Volkswagen is significantly different from Skoda, at first sight of similarities, it is practically not found.

Major competitors

In the classroom under consideration, the number of competitors increases every year. At the time when many European and Asian automakers invest in the development and implementation of new technologies, which causes increasing cost, some automakers seek to provide inexpensive offers. The main competitors of the model under consideration are called:

PEUGEOT 107.
Suzuki Splash.

All of them are approximately one price category, the quality of the assembly in some above. An example can be called Suzuki Splash, which is very attractive.

Let's sum up

When searching inexpensive car . It is suitable for everyday use in large and medium-sized cities, but it is worth considering that problems may occur with abundant precipitation.

The advantages are B.:

Low cost.
Compact sizes.
High economy.
Not bad reliability.
It is enough just to find spare parts.

However, there are many flaws. At first, we first note the quality of all materials used. In addition, the car is not officially supplied to the countries of Eastern Europe. Therefore, many decide to pay attention to the main competitors. In conclusion, we note that probably in the near future, the small age will be on sale in Russia. Does not plan to update this model.

Skoda decided to compete for gaining popularity segment of cars of class A.

Czech manufacturer continued to expand its model range and prepares for the release of the seventh car in model row called Citigo. This microcar. - Brother twin Citigo.

But, despite the closest kinship, the exterior of the car is still different - at the Czech new bumper, the grille, optics and wheels.
Citigo sales start in the Czech Republic already this year, in other markets the model will be sold a little later. Russian premiere car will pass At the International Moscow Motor Show in early August 2012

Interior of Sitigo

Sitigo is built on the basis of Volkswagen Up! - You can even say that this is his twin brother.

Citigo will suggest the most comfortable interior ergonomics and comfortable passenger seats. Initially, Citigo will be sold only in three-desired execution, the five-door version debuts in 2012. The first photos of the five-door version were recently published - the model is a modified version of VW Up! At the same time, the dimensions of the models are absolutely identical.

Also, as well as a similar model from Volkswagen Presented weekly, a previously five-door Skoda has 79.5 cm free space For the feet of passengers of the rear row of seats and height in the back row of 94.7 cm. Interesting is the fact that the rear doors of the new glass are not lowered in the usual understanding - they are made in the form of an already unusual look of the modern motorist for the vehicles.
And here luggage compartment Presented a surprise form of 252 liters of useful volume, which can be increased when folding the back row of seats, up to 951 liters.

Engines

Having a common platform with VW Up! both skoda version Citigo will be equipped with the same liter three-cylinder force aggregates Power 62 and 75 horse power which will stick with a 5-speed mechanical box Transmissions.

How does the manufacturer declare thanks to the "Greentec" concept fuel consumption of new items will not exceed 4.1 liters per 100 kilometers.

Interesting features of the novelty can be called a single driver and front passenger Safety Safety I. automatic system Emergency braking, which at speeds not exceeding 30 km / h will be able to completely stop the car in the event of an emergency situation.

Skoda sites prices have not yet been voiced. For comparison, five-door VW Up! At 475 euros more expensive three days and costs from 10 325 euros. Although taking into account the positioning of the Skoda brand, it can be assumed that the price of the city will be slightly lower. In any case, both new products have a big chance of success - after all, the problem of movement and parking lots in large cities becomes more acute, while the main advantage of new products will be that the driver will not be required for the sake of reduced dimensions and reduce the fuel consumption to sacrifice the capacity of the cabin and the luggage compartment.

Video Skoda City

At the end of the article, browse the video trailer, presenting a novelty from Skoda.

Actually, this car Vadim Gagarin has already experienced Rome on the roads - then, however, he was called Volkswagen Up!. But now, when I sit down at the wheel new Skoda. Citigo, and in the five-door version, I take this model completely differently. If in Italy, Russian journalists looked at the Up! As the next toy of the damned capitalists, now the situation is different - it turned out that Skoda Citigo, in contrast to the same UP!, with a 99% probability will be supplied to Russia! It is Citigo that will be the most affordable Skoda model, and it will be sold with a "automatic".

About Avtomat said not just like that. Currently a big problem Skoda Fabia.which is noticeably larger Citigo, is the presence automatic box Gears only on the most expensive version with a motor volume of 1.6 liters. Which costs 549,000 rubles.! And this, on a second, for the car without air conditioning and many other joys of life. And what should you do in this case with an honest young girl? That is why the Russian representative office of Skoda is waiting for the emergence of "automatic" Citigo, which will cost, approximately less than 500 thousand.

Skoda Citigo became the first model of the company that received a new emblem. Externally, it is true, not too different from the old.

Although it is immediately necessary to say that the word "automatic" in relation to Skoda Citigo can be used with some correction. After all, this car will receive a non-familiar hydrotransformator automatic transmission, but a completely new robotic box. Speech now is not about transmissions with two clutches DSG., and the cheap "robot" with one clutch, which was created on the basis of standard "mechanics". But how does this box work, will car twitch When switching and, most importantly, will the gearbox be reliable? There are no answers to these questions yet - the production of transmission with the SQ100 index will begin only in the summer.

Skoda's plans for the conquest of the world are very large. If last year the Czechs managed to sell almost 880 thousand cars, then after six years they want to reach 1.5 million cars. Citigo should play a big role in implementing these ideas. Although one Citigo one and a half million will not do. That is why in September at the Motor Show in Paris will present a new available Skoda, which will take place between Fabia and Octavia (presumably, it will be called Rapid), and in 2013 a new generation of Octavia will appear. Although while this is a secret information - do not try to tell anyone about it.

We for the test provided cars not only in three-door, but also in the five-door body. But do not think that the five-door Citigo is spacious - the first impression in this case is deceptive. And the one, the other model in length, the size of the wheelbase and the disorder in the cabin is absolutely identical. By the way, about the square. Usually this word in relation to the "bugs" of the class "A" is afraid to consume. But it turned out that Citigo is not so "mini", as it may seem. I agree, on the rear seats do not throw the leg legs, and the volume of the trunk is only 251 liters. But in this case, the devil lies in comparison. It turns out that the trunk here ... the largest in the segment! For comparison, Citroen C1 is 130 liters, Chevrolet Spark. - 170 l, and Kia Picanto - 200 liters. If you are folded rear seats, the cost of the Citigo compartment will increase to 959 liters! And this is also a record.

In the Czech Republic, the price difference between the three- and five-door version of Citigo is 10,000 kroons or, in terms of 15,000 rubles. It is assumed that in Eastern Europe (and, apparently, in Russia), up to 75% of sales will have to a five-door modification. In Western Europe, preferences will be divided equally.

In the basic configuration, the disks are 14-inch. But if you wish, you can order 15 and even 16-inch (!) Wheels. In addition, the list of options will appear decorative panels And color stickers that will help make the car unusual. And the buyer of Skoda Citigo will be able to order a large sliding hatch or mechanical locking lever of the PPC. Does the Czech be afraid that Citigo will begin to invite?

And the Skoda Citigo turned out to be ... spacious. Of course, for your size. At least two adults in the front chairs do not support each other shoulders and are not afraid to breathe synchronously. Yes what to say there - Skoda is generally the most wide car In the segment! Although we will not extol Citigo. Use the trunk for the carriage of large things here is inconvenient - when folding the second row, the seats are formed a large stage. In Volkswagen, this problem is solved simply - Up! Has a double trunk floor, and when folding, the seats turns out a flat place. But Skoda Citigo is a more budget model compared to UP!, And such "beams", it turns out to be.

There are other questions for equipping the car, and we are now talking about Citigo in the maximum (!) Configuration (basic versions are completely empty: armchair, steering wheel and pedals). For example, the upper part of the doors here does not have any sheath - just naked metal. In many ways, that is why they are closed with such a "cheap" sound. Or electric windows - from the driver side it is only one! That is, sitting driving can not personally close the glass from the passenger side, for this he will have to reach through the entire salon. And on the second row of the chairs there are no "glass glazed". There are only revealing glass that are fixed on the latch. But other examples of total savings: the head restraint cannot be customized, because it is integrated into the back of the chair itself, the steering wheel is adjustable only in one direction (in the 21st century it is generally a bad tone), driver chair It does not shine a large number of adjustments, moreover, the angle of inclination of the back is measured stepwise.

But, reading these lines, you need to constantly remember - we are now talking about the class A car, which by definition should be simple and, most importantly, cheap. Although it is possible to argue about the simplicity of such "babies" - the same Kia Picanto is equipped with climate control, heated steering wheel and the like of excess. Yes, and Skoda Citigo has a lot of "frills": a roof with a panoramic view, Parktronic, navigator. A strange combination with the doors without trim and one window lift, is not it?

There are many things in the cabin that needed advanced girls. For example, on the glove compartment there is a special hook for women's handbags, and there is still a convenient stand for storing the iPhone or other similar to the size of the phone. Do you think it doesn't matter? As it has - the problem "where to put the phone" torments many owners of small machines.

Navigator, by the way, is unusual. Instead of a large and beautiful screen in the center of Torpedo, Skoda Citigo offers a portable "gadget", which is installed in front of the windshield. At first glance, such a system is no different from the navigator electronics sold. Is it worth it expensive (it is necessary to navigate for 12-15 thousand rubles). But it turns out that this system is deeply integrated into the car - on the "Skodovsky" navigator is drawn by Parktronic testimony, music system, on-board computer and much more. In addition, the navigator can be removed and used when walking along an unfamiliar city (batteries are enough for about two hours). Is it worth overpaying for it? Everyone decides himself.

The engine situation here is the same as Volkswagen Up!. It is only one - a three-cylinder 1.0 l, 60 or 75 hp Someone may seem that 60 "horses" for modern car Not enough. But it is not. In the metropolis, even such a "Tabuna" for Citigo is enough! Due to the small mass, the 60-strong version of Citigo can break from the place and "humiliate" other participants in the speed at speeds up to 60-80 km / h. True, it is necessary to make one amendment here - we are talking about the car with a manual gearbox. Versions with a "robot", for sure, will be more phlegmatic.

While Skoda Citigo will be offered only with a 1 liter gasoline engine. But soon in Europe, the sale of a version that works on natural gas (68 hp) should begin.

But what motor prefer? Many of my colleagues assure that there are practically no difference between them, besides the torque of motors the same (95 N? M, which can be obtained in the range of 3000-4300 rpm). But still 15 "horses" for such "babies" are never superfluous ... Yes, with a calm ride in the city, you do not feel the difference between two engines. And yet it seemed to me that behind the wheel of the 75-strong Citigo you feel a little calmer. Psychological effect? Quite possible. But here you first left the traffic light, it climbed into a hill without any problems, and on the track confidently accelerated from 60 km / h and overtook a truck. It seems that everything else can be done in a less powerful Citigo. But the motor will have to work more, and it is not a fact that in the desired situation of his "horses" enough. In general, I vote for 75 hp, even despite the fact that such cars will be more expensive (about 15 thousand rubles, at least in the Czech Republic, the difference between different motors is 10,000 kroons).

Skoda Citigo, as well as Volkswagen Up! And Seat MII, received five stars on Euroncap crash tests. For such kids it is just a great figure. Moreover, in addition to four pillows, Citigo has some more "adults" security systems, which no competitor offers in Russia. For example, ESP or City Safe Drive. The latter can automatically slow down from 5 to 30 km / h if the driver is distracted and did not notice the danger. According to "Skodovtsy", at a speed of up to 20 km / h, electronics retains a car in immunity. And if the car rode a little faster, the severity of the accident will be minimized.

How are things with comfort? And here we were waiting for a big surprise - in the Citigo salon quietly! The three-cylinder motor is almost not heard. And not only when working at idle, but in the zone of medium revolutions! Vibration from three cylinders? It is minimal and does not annoying. But the smoothness of the stroke can be estimated in different ways. If you are accustomed to ride big sedans, Citigo will seem "stool". But when compared with other machines "A" class picture is different. You already understand that Citigo has a completely comfortable suspension that copes with most holes, especially if you drop speed before them. And all this is combined with good handling - according to this, the Citigo indicator is not inferior to the same Fabia. Or maybe even surpasses it.

Volkswagen Up! It is in Germany from 9850 euros. Similar Skoda will cost 400 euros cheaper - 9450 euros. That is, the basic Skoda will cost in Germany as much as Citroen C1. True, SAMIA simple Kia. Picanto is estimated at 8,990 euros, and 9,140 euros are asked for Chevrolet Spack. How much will Citigo cost in Russia? There is no answer to this question yet. But we can assume that the version with a 60-strong engine, "mechanics", air conditioning, "music" and ABS will cost about 430-450 thousand rubles. At the same time, we note that a more spacious Skoda Fabia, which is collected in Russia, with air conditioning and a four-cylinder engine with a volume of 1.2 liters (70 hp) you can buy cheaper than 440 thousand.

And what will be the conclusion? Despite the disadvantages and simplicity in the design of the cabin, Skoda Citigo turned out to be a pretty good car. And very compatible. However, answer the question, I would buy such a car with my wife or mistress, I will only after the announcement russian prices. And they are not yet. No prices, no mistress.
