Skoda Citigo: Which Version Should You Buy?
The Skoda Citigo in this catalogue is a Mini 5-doors model with one generation presented in original and restyled form. The original generation runs from March 2011 to April 2017 and contains eight listed versions; the restyling starts in March 2017 and contains ten.
The Skoda Citigo in this catalogue is a Mini 5-doors model with one generation presented in original and restyled form. The original generation runs from March 2011 to April 2017 and contains eight listed versions; the restyling starts in March 2017 and contains ten. Every version has a front-mounted, transverse, Inline three-cylinder engine, FWD and a five-speed Manual or five-speed Robotic gearbox. The central buying choice is therefore between the 60 hp and 75 hp Gasoline versions, the restyled 68 hp LPG alternative, and Manual or Robotic transmission.
Skoda Citigo generations: original or restyled?
The original 1 generation covers March 2011 to April 2017 and is listed exclusively as Mini 5-doors. Its eight entries are all named either 1.0 MT or 1.0 DSG, so power and specification are essential when distinguishing them. Gasoline output is 60 hp or 75 hp, with 95 Nm. The quickest original version is the 75 hp 1.0 MT, reaching 100 km/h in 13.2 seconds and a top speed of 171 km/h. Original versions have ground clearance of 136 mm or 144 mm, depending on the entry.
The 1 generation, restyling begins in March 2017, remains a Mini 5-doors body and has ten listed entries. Its Gasoline choices again produce 60 hp or 75 hp and 95 Nm, while the LPG 1.0 MT produces 68 hp and 90 Nm. The restyled range reaches a higher maximum speed of 173 km/h in the 75 hp cars, while the best listed combined Gasoline consumption falls to 4.1 l/100 km. Ground clearance varies among 121 mm, 134 mm and 136 mm.

Because every engine displaces 999 cc, output per litre is approximately 60.1 hp/l for the 60 hp versions, 68.1 hp/l for the 68 hp LPG version and 75.1 hp/l for the 75 hp versions. Moving from 60 hp to 75 hp adds 15 hp, or 25%, without increasing displacement. The LPG version adds 8 hp over the 60 hp engine but has 5 Nm less torque.
Skoda Citigo performance and mpg
Among the original cars, the 60 hp 1.0 MT records 0–100 km/h in 14.4 seconds and 160 km/h, while the 60 hp 1.0 DSG needs 15.3 seconds and also reaches 160 km/h. Its Manual advantage is 0.9 seconds. The original 75 hp 1.0 MT takes 13.2 seconds, versus 13.9 seconds for the 75 hp 1.0 DSG; both reach 171 km/h. Choosing 75 hp instead of 60 hp can therefore cut the original Manual acceleration time by 1.2 seconds and raise top speed by 11 km/h.
Original combined Gasoline consumption spans 4.3–4.7 l/100 km. The 60 hp 1.0 DSG rated at 4.3 l/100 km is the lowest listed original result, with 5.3 l/100 km in the city and 3.9 l/100 km on the highway. The 75 hp 1.0 MT entries use 4.7 l/100 km combined, with city figures of 6.1 or 6.7 l/100 km and 4.4 l/100 km on the highway. CO₂ is 103 g/km or 105 g/km for two original 60 hp entries; for the other original versions, CO₂ is not measured.
In the restyled range, the 60 hp 1.0 MT takes 14.4 seconds and reaches 162 km/h. The 60 hp 1.0 DSG takes 16.7 seconds and reaches the same 162 km/h, making the Manual 2.3 seconds quicker to 100 km/h. The 75 hp 1.0 MT takes 13.5 seconds, while the 75 hp 1.0 DSG takes 14.9 seconds; both reach 173 km/h. The 75 hp Manual is thus 0.9 seconds quicker than the 60 hp Manual and has an 11 km/h higher maximum speed.
Restyled Gasoline combined consumption ranges from 4.1 to 4.4 l/100 km. The lowest 4.1 l/100 km figure appears on both 60 hp Manual and Robotic entries and on a 75 hp Manual entry. The corresponding listed city/highway figures are 4.9/3.7 l/100 km for the 60 hp Manual, 4.7/3.7 l/100 km for the 60 hp Robotic and 4.9/3.7 l/100 km for the 75 hp Manual. This makes the 75 hp 1.0 MT particularly persuasive: it matches the best combined Gasoline figure while providing 15 hp more than the 60 hp alternatives.
The restyled LPG 1.0 MT takes 16.3 seconds to reach 100 km/h, reaches 165 km/h and consumes 5.6 l/100 km in the city, 3.9 l/100 km on the highway and 4.5 l/100 km combined. Its CO₂ figure is 82 g/km, the lowest listed value. Restyled Gasoline CO₂ ranges from 95 to 103 g/km.
Skoda Citigo dimensions, weight and wheel sizes
No exterior length, width or height is provided, so each of those dimensions is not measured. Wheel sizes and tyre-pressure figures are also not measured for every version.
Original kerb weight is 929 kg or 932 kg. Gross weight is 1290 kg where measured; it is not measured for two original 60 hp entries. Ground clearance is 136 mm or 144 mm, and every listed tank holds 35 litres. A 929 kg, 75 hp original car carries about 12.4 kg per horsepower, compared with about 15.5 kg per horsepower for a 929 kg, 60 hp car.
Restyled Gasoline kerb weight ranges from 929 to 940 kg, while the LPG 1.0 MT weighs 1031 kg. Restyled gross weight ranges from 1290 to 1370 kg, and every tank holds 35 litres. Ground clearance is 121–136 mm for Gasoline versions and 134 mm for the LPG version. The lightest 75 hp restyled 1.0 MT weighs 929 kg, or about 12.4 kg per horsepower; a 940 kg, 60 hp 1.0 MT has about 15.7 kg per horsepower. The 1031 kg LPG car has about 15.2 kg per horsepower.
Which Skoda Citigo version should you choose?
For the strongest all-round specification, choose the restyled 75 hp 1.0 MT rated at 4.1 l/100 km combined. It delivers 75 hp, 95 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 13.5 seconds and 173 km/h while matching the lowest listed combined Gasoline consumption. Against a restyled 60 hp 1.0 MT with the same 4.1 l/100 km figure, it adds 15 hp, reaches 100 km/h 0.9 seconds sooner and gains 11 km/h in top speed.
For a Robotic gearbox, the restyled 60 hp 1.0 DSG rated at 4.1 l/100 km has the lowest listed combined consumption among the Robotic options, although its 16.7-second acceleration is the slowest Gasoline result. The restyled 75 hp 1.0 DSG improves acceleration to 14.9 seconds and top speed to 173 km/h, with combined consumption of either 4.2 or 4.4 l/100 km depending on the entry.
For the quickest acceleration, the original 75 hp 1.0 MT is the catalogue leader at 13.2 seconds. For the lowest listed CO₂ output, the restyled 68 hp LPG 1.0 MT records 82 g/km, but it also has 90 Nm rather than 95 Nm and weighs 1031 kg. If clearance matters most, the original 144 mm versions exceed the highest restyled figure of 136 mm by 8 mm and the lowest restyled figure of 121 mm by 23 mm.
Price, availability for sale, trim levels, reliability, engine problems, oil requirements, coolant specifications and tyre pressure are not measured in the supplied data. They cannot be used to justify one version over another here; the defensible choice rests on the measured differences in power, acceleration, consumption, emissions, weight and ground clearance.
