ŠKODA CITIGOe iV: around the city with zero emissions
09/09/2019
Skoda
By launching the CITIGOe
iV, ŠKODA
is entering a new era 124 years after the company was founded. The four-seater city car
is powered exclusively by a 61-kW electric motor, making it the first all-electric production
model in the company's history. This also means the city speedster runs without generating
any emissions. Boasting a compact body and a dynamic electric motor, the CITIGOe
iV
is ideal for use in modern cities. Production of the ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV is to begin this year
in Bratislava, Slovakia.
Compact, nimble, eco-friendly: the ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV marks the beginning of a new, all-electric,
and therefore zero-emisson age. The city car is perfect for modern metropolises - particularly
as an electric car. At 3,597 mm long and 1,645 mm wide, it offers space for up to four people. The
boot has a minimum capacity of 250 l, which can reach up to 923 l with the backrests folded down.
When the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the all-electric ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV has a range
of up to 260 km in everyday driving situations*- which is more than sufficient for everyday trips
in urban environments. The CITIGOe
iV's electric motor delivers 61 kW and powers the front wheels.
The maximum torque of 212 Nm is available straight away, as is typical for electric motors. The short
burst from 60 to 100 km/h therefore takes just 7.3 seconds. The CITIGOe
iV can accelerate from
0 to 100 km/h in 12.3 seconds and it has a top speed of 130 km/h.
Quick charging using optional CCS
The 60-Ah lithium-ion battery in the ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV has a capacity of 36.8 kWh and is compactly
integrated into the chassis floor. The battery can be charged from 0 to 80 per cent in one hour using
a CCS (Combined Charging System) charging cable connected to a 40-kW DC fast charger. CCS
and the Mode-3 charging cable for a wall box come as standard in the ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV Style
and as an option for the Ambition variant. Using a 7.2-kWh AC wall box, the battery is charged from
0 to 80 per cent in 4 hours 15 minutes. Alternatively, it can be charged conveniently overnight
in 12 hours 43 minutes using a standard 2.3-kWh household plug socket. ŠKODA AUTO also offers
a guarantee on the batteries for 8 years or 160,000 km
Easily identifiable by the body-coloured ŠKODA grille
The body-coloured ŠKODA grille on the front of the CITIGOe
iV is the most striking feature that
distinguishes it from CITIGO models with a combustion engine. The electric city speedster, exclusively
available as a five-door, is also the only model to come with body-coloured air inlets in its front
bumper. The wing mirror housings featuring integrated indicators can be black or body-coloured.
The CITIGOe
iV is fitted with 14-inch steel wheels including wheel trims or 16-inch alloys. There
is a choice of four standard and three metallic colours for the body. In addition, the CITIGOe
iV bears
'ŠKODA' in block lettering at the rear as well as iV badges.
Redesigned instrument panel and specific mobile online services
In the interior, the black instrument panel has been redesigned for the ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV. In the Style
trim level, the area above it comes in silver and features ambient lighting. Standard equipment always
includes electric front windows, Climatronic, remote central locking, the Swing radio and the
Move&Fun smartphone docking station. Using this, a mobile phone can be used as an additional
display for vehicle data, as a media player or as a navigation system. Via specific mobile online
services, the associated Move&Fun app enables the energy flow to be displayed and provides remote
access, for example. This allows the owner to switch on and adjust the air conditioning.
Optional packages boost comfort and safety
ŠKODA offers various packages as options for the CITIGOe
iV. The Utility package consists of a net
for securing items in the boot, a waste bin and a holder for multimedia devices. The Comfort package
available for the Ambition and Style trim levels contains heated front seats, four additional speakers
and parking sensors at the rear. And the Winter package comprises heating for the front seats,
a heated front windscreen as well as rain and light sensors including a Coming/Leaving Home
function. Front, side and curtain airbags for the front passengers take care of passive safety in the
ŠKODA CITIGOe
iV. Lane Assist also comes as standard.
