Volkswagen Up versus the Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii

The Volkswagen Up, Skoda Citigo and Seat Mii are all fantastic city cars and great value for money. The new Volkswagen up! was recently honoured at the 2012 World Car of the Year at the New York International Auto Show and has won numerous accolades. It is available with two 1.0 litre three cylinder petrol engine options as well as a BlueMotion technology version. The Seat Mii is offered with a 1.0 litre petrol engine and emits just 97g/km co2 emissions and the Skoda Citigo is just as impressive emitting just 96g/km co2 emissions from its three cylinder petrol engine.

All three of these city cars offer the perfect accommodation for urban use. The Volkswagen up! is 3.54 metres long and 1.64 metres wide, it is one of the smallest four-seat cars and is still spacious inside, the Citigo has a spacious and bright cabin which can easily accommodate four adults, no matter how long the journey, it also has the largest boot in its class. At 3.55 metres in length the Seat Mii is the perfect size for modern day living.

The Volkswagen Up has three trim levels

Take up!, Move up! and High up! plus a special edition the up! black and up! white. Standard specification for the Take up! includes body-coloured bumpers, daytime running lights, front and side head/thorax airbags, the new RCD 215 CD radio with aux-in, rear ISOFIX points, and 14-inch steel wheels. The entry level Citigo S model features a comprehensive list of standard equipment, including Head/Thorax airbags, height adjustable steering wheel, power steering, daytime driving lights, preparation for portable infotainment device (PID), CD player with aux input and 14-inch steel wheels.
