The new 2012 Skoda Citigo subcompact

ŠKODA is continuing its growth offensive by introducing its seventh model line. Citigo is the name of ŠKODA's new small vehicle. The brand's new model made its debut in its domestic market, the Czech Republic, in 2011, with other European countries following at the beginning of summer 2012.

With this 3.56-metre-long vehicle, the Czech-based car maker is extending its product portfolio and entering the small vehicle segment (A00). Offering maximum utilisation of space and four seats for passengers, the Citigo will be launched as a three-door, with a five-door version to come in 2012.

Škoda’s top-of-the-range model has won numerous comparison tests and awards, and not merely by merit of its well-known exceptional value for money. Its prestige is proven by its Golden Steering Wheel award and the title of "Best Midsize Car" in Germany and Austria.

In the Czech Republic, it was the undisputed winner of "Car of the Year 2009". The new Superb is also a leader in terms of safety, technology and performance. The short stopping distance and top marks in the Euro NCAP crash test underline the Superb's high-tech nature.

The Škoda Yeti has been making deep footprints in the market since its debut last year and, in doing so, has added strength and breadth to Škoda Auto's model portfolio.

While it represents the likeable, unaggressive side of the compact SUV segment, the Yeti is also equipped to tackle the sort of tough conditions that leave others floundering. Thanks to its generous ground clearance, it is able to cope with difficult terrain, yet on the road it dazzles with its dynamics, which more than equal those of conventional family cars.

The Octavia name has been associated with Škoda for many years. While the current model’s forerunners rank among the most successful in the company’s history, it was the modern-day Octavia that triggered the brand’s unprecedented success in the car world.

The current, second-generation is easily identifiable thanks to the elegant and dynamic look of both the five-door liftback and the spacious estate. The environmental GreenLine and Green tec versions are making their debut at the Paris Motorshow. This thrifty version, coupled with the 1.6 TDI CR engine, ensures that Škoda’s best-selling model guarantees maximum economy coupled with much lower fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The Fabia, Fabia Combi and Roomster facelift has been accompanied by technical enhancements in the interior and, perhaps more importantly, under the bonnet which have left the virtues of both these advanced cars intact. With luggage capacity of between 505 and 1,485 litres, the Fabia Combi continues to provide the sort of boot space that exceeds the norm in this class.

With the Fabia, Škoda Auto has established a rock-solid foundation for its five-car portfolio. This neat little car exemplifies Škoda’s attention to detail, no matter how small the component; its eye for simple, clever solutions; and its talent for innovation.
