Škoda Citigo Sport launched

Škoda has added a Sport variant to its Citigo city car range.

Based on the existing SE trim grade, the new arrival manages to look the part thanks to the fitment of 15” alloy wheels, front and rear spoilers, a rear diffuser and numerous body stripes.

The interior features sports seats, unique black and red upholstery and a three-spoke leather steering wheel. Also part of the standard specification is the ‘Personal Infotainment Device’ which incorporates an audio system, satellite navigation and Bluetooth connectivity. All are controlled via a dashboard-mounted 5” touchscreen.

But don’t expect any extra performance, because power comes from an unaltered 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine that produces 59 bhp (44 kW / 60 PS). The Citigo Sport does come with lowered, stiffer suspension though, which should allow more enthusiastic drivers to make the most of that modest output.

On sale now, the Citigo Sport costs £1,510 more than the equivalent SE models. That means the three-door carries a price tag of £10,290, while the five-door version is £10,640. Buyers have a choice of white, red or black paintwork.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
