2019 Skoda Citigo E: The electric twin of the Volkswagen e-Up! will arrive with 300 km of autonomy
Skoda has announced that it will launch a fully electric version of Citigo, the most compact car in its range, with a range of 300 kilometres.
The Czech manufacturer Skoda has announced that it will launch a fully electric version of the Citigo, the most compact car in its range. The electric urbanite will have the mission of lowering the average emissions of the vehicles sold by the brand, which have increased in recent times due to changes in the preferences of the consumer, who are now interested in larger vehicles and SUV style.
Skoda is aware that the sales boom for the SUV segment is translating into an increase in the CO2 emissions of its range, so the entrance of the Citigo E electric car in its catalog would help to reduce them drastically. The new Skoda Citigo E - which will be officially called - will be launched towards the end of 2019 and will be based on the Volkswagen e-Up!
Skoda plans to launch five electric cars before 2025, all powered by batteries and without any CO2 emission. These five units are part of the Volkswagen Group's electrification strategy, which includes the launch of 80 new 100% electric cars along the 12 brands that make up the VAG group over the next seven years.
The new Skoda Citigo E will be an electric car designed for the city, but with a remarkable autonomy of up to 300 kilometers, according to Alain Favey, head of sales and marketing of Skoda told AutoExpress magazine. So, although it has not been made explicit, the Volkswagen e-Up! could receive an update of its battery that carries its current range of 160 kilometers to grow up to 300 km from its 'brother of the east'.
Although from the Citigo E the next electric cars of the brand will be based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group, the same that gives life to the VW ID family, Skoda surprised at the Geneva Motor Show with an alternative solution in the form of a hybrid SUV to gasoline, gas and electricity. The hypothetical exit to production of the Skoda Vision X, a medium SUV capable of using CNG in its 1.5-liter unit and traveling up to 2 kilometers in electric mode, could solve the emissions problems that the SUV category brings with its scarce 89 grams of CO2 per km traveled.
