Skoda Ireland has launched its new small car, the Citigo across its dealerships, with prices commencing from just €9,995 for the entry-level Active model. Citigo customers can choose from 3-door and 5-door models, both of which are powered by a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, with two power outputs on offer, 60hp and 75hp. Both variants are seated in tax band A with emissions of 105g/km of CO2, this results in an annual road tax fee of €160. The Citigo has performed admirably well in recent safety tests resulting in a 5-star rating from the EuroNCAP, it comes with ESP and side head thorax airbags as standard. Amongst the options available for the Citigo is a new five-speed automatic transmission, also available are satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. Skoda Ireland have a finance option available for customers which offers an attractive 1.99% APR over three years, and includes three years servicing, warranty and roadside assist from €99 per month.

From a financial perspective the Citigo ticks all the boxes. Customers can avail of our PCP Solutions plan with an incredibly low APR combined with monthly repayments of €99 inclusive of servicing over 3-years. For further peace of mind we have 3-years warranty and roadside assist.” Leddy expanded, “The Citigo will appeal to a wide range of motorists from the family looking for a viable second car to the more mature motorist seeking a small car with comfort and efficiency to the first time buyer who is looking for new car technology at an affordable price.
