There’s a new small car on its way. Actually, two. One’s the Seat Mii, the other is the Skoda Citigo.
Skoda and Seat are owned by the Volkswagen Group so not only are the cars related, they’re also based on a small car wearing a Volkwagen badge, the new VW Up!

We’ll start with the Seat, and unless I tell you otherwise the technical details for both cars will be the same. Under the bonnet sits a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine with a choice of power outputs: 59bhp and 74bhp. The former emits 105g/km of Co2 and the latter 108g/km. Since both outputs are near the magic 100g/km cut off for no road tax, there’ll be a eco version that’s expected to produce 97g/km. Seat will call this model the Ecomotive and Skoda the Green Tec.
The Mii is 3,560mm long, 1,650mm wide and 1,480mm and has 251 litres of luggage space with the seats up and 951 litres with them folded. We can assume the Citigo is the same
Skoda Citigo
At first both cars will only be available with three doors – UK launch is expected around next spring – but five-door versions will follow. No prices yet but the word is that both will be around £7,000.
Skoda has talked of an electric version of the Citigo but with the low price of the petrol cars and with mpg economy in the sixties, the Mii and Citigo are a strong argument against electric cars.
