The Skoda Citigo-E iV, the brand's first electric car, is spotted on the street ahead of its unveiling

Fully electric vehicles are gradually arriving at every brand, and the ones that make up the Volkswagen Group were not going to be an exception. We have already witnessed how Audi launched the e-tron onto the market, how Volkswagen is about to unveil the ID.3, and how SEAT is in the midst of developing the el-Born, but now it is Skoda’s turn. The Czech brand has circulated a teaser of its first fully electric vehicle, which will be based on the Citigo, but before its official presentation, on Twitter the E iV variant has already been spotted cruising the public roads with confidence.

It is true that, although we have been able to observe the electric city car from Skoda in great detail, neither its performance nor its range has yet been made public. However, considering the scale of the Citigo-E iV, we can assume it will be a vehicle with a capacity designed to cover journeys in urban environments and short-distance trips.

A futuristic look with a touch of the present

The most cutting-edge brands have accustomed us to electric vehicles with very angular or eccentric designs, in which there is a clear desire to show us what the car of tomorrow will bring. However, Skoda has managed to strike a perfect balance in developing the Citigo-E iV, since it combines the carefree character typical of a model in its segment with features that show that behind this facade lies the latest technology from the Czech firm.

A front end that is completely closed off, except for an air intake integrated into the bumper, guarantees that we are looking at a fully electric vehicle. At the same time, we also find alloy wheels with a specific design, which will most likely be available only for this version of the Citigo, but it is at the rear, with the absence of an exhaust outlet, where the Czech city car once again confirms its new mechanical layout.

Performance figures that have not yet been confirmed

For now Skoda has kept a deafening silence regarding the performance of its new Citigo-E iV, but considering how much the Czech model shares with the Volkswagen Up!, it would not be far-fetched to assume that there will be synergies with the electric version of the German city car.

If so, we would be looking at a Skoda Citigo capable of delivering 82 CV drawn directly from an electric motor. This power would be combined with a top speed of 130 km/h and a total range of 160 kilometres, more than enough capacity to cover our daily urban journeys. However, it will be on the 23rd of this month that the brand presents the Citigo-E iV along with all its novelties and performance details.
