Skoda Ireland has launched its Citigo city car, retailing from €9,995, writes Brian Byrne.
In 3- and 5-door version, power is from 1.0 litre petrol engines with 60/75hp, both Band A.
There are three grade levels. An automated manual version is available for €750 extra.
The car will be available with a perconal contract plan (PCP) financing from €99 a month. This involves a deposit or trade in value of around €3,300, and a residual payment of €4,200 at the end of three years, or hand back the car. The deal includes three years' free servicing.
And if all that sounds familiar, it is ... the Citigo is Skoda's version of the Volkswagen up!.
A mobile sat-nav dock is included in the specifications, and a navigation system is available for €349.
