Volkswagen up!’s Czech cousin, the new Skoda Citigo, is going on sale in the UK starting from June 1st, 2012.
The car will be available in 3- and 5-door configurations, and will be integrated in the 1E insurance groups.
In case you forgot, the Citigo measures 3,563 mm in length, regardless of body style, it provides 251 litres of booth, or 951-litres with the rear seats folded, it features a "number of ingenious storage solutions" inside its cabin, and it extracts power from a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine rated at either 60 PS or 75 PS.
