THE NEW ŠKODA CITIGO G-TEC

Fuel saving tipsThink green, drive green

Packed with smart technology for both people and environment

The ŠKODA CITIGO G-TEC is a perfect combination of attractive, smart design, surprisingly spacious interior, and environmentally oriented technology.

Energy recovery

Energy recovery turns kinetic energy back into usable electricity. During engine braking, the alternator supplies the electricity to appliances and charges the battery. This saves fuel, which would be otherwise used on these tasks.

The nature will love the CITIGO. So will your wallet.

The more you drive, the greener you are. While looking the same as other CITIGO, this car is equipped with automatic switching between the two fuel systems. With CNG, it promises low fuel consumption (4.5 m3/100km), as well as low emissions
(82 g/km) and... yes, low running costs.

The same. The different.

The first sight will not reveal you are looking at the most efficient CITIGO. The CNG-powered version is as compact, spacious, and agile as its petrol siblings. What makes the difference is hidden under CITIGO‘s attractive body: two CNG tanks, engine modifications, Start-Stop system, regenerative braking, and special tyres.

Extremely frugal

Did you know that the consumption of CNG vehicles in m3/100 km is nearly the same as the consumption in litres of petrol? The CITIGO G-TEC consumes mere 4.5 m3 CNG/100 km and produces 82 g/km of CO2 emissions (approximately 20 % less than a petrol engine).

Engine

Modern engine of the CITIGO G-TEC achieves low fuel consumption and emissions while retaining the driving dynamics. The 1-litre 3-cylinder runs primarily on CNG. Its operation and range is enhanced by 10-litre petrol fuel tank.

Low rolling resistance tyres

Low rolling resistance tyres help to lower both fuel consumption and emissions. Lower rolling resistance is achieved by using special rubber compound and higher recommended pressure. These properties also help to prolong the tyre life. Changing the tyres less often not only saves money, but it’s also environmentally friendly.

Start-Stop system

When the vehicle is stationary, the engine runs uselessly, while still consuming fuel and emitting pollutants. That’s why the Start-Stop system automatically switches the engine off after stopping the vehicle, reducing the overall fuel consumption of the engine.

Fuel saving tips

All ŠKODA vehicles are designed to be supremely efficient and achieve low greenhouse-gas emissions, thanks to utilizing state of the art technologies. But real world fuel consumption is still in the hands of You, the driver. Improper driving style may increase both fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by tens per cent. That’s why we’d like to offer you with ten tips to help you fully use your car’s potential.

Weight not only slows you down, it also costs you fuel. Take the unnecessary items out of the car, every kilogram counts. And watch for the aerodynamics, too. Try not to leave your windows open and take off the bike racks or roof boxes when not in use. Hiding in the slipstream behind cars or, preferably, trucks, can vastly reduce the aerodynamic drag and significantly reduce fuel consumption. Just watch out and don’t get too close!

Smoothness is mother of efficiency. Aggressive driving with lot of braking and acceleration leads to high fuel consumption. Clean, smooth inputs will not only save you money, they also make your journey more pleasant and comfortable. Only if it’s in perfect shape, can your car give its best. Make sure that your tyres are properly inflated, your oil and filters changed regularly and that your car is properly maintained by professionals at the authorized ŠKODA Service Partner.

Is the traffic coming to a stop in front of you? Is that green light down the road going to turn red? Lift your foot! Coasting car uses no fuel and by slowing down early enough, you may even find in position to accelerate again before you come to a full stop, saving yet more fuel. Traffic jams do not only cost you time (and time is money). They increase fuel consumption, so they cost you money. Again. Using your ŠKODA Navigation systems with traffic information, you can avoid them and use your time and money on finer things in life.

Brakes turn energy into heat. If your car is equipped with energy recovery system, you can recoup at least part of this energy. And in any case, you’ll save the fuel that would otherwise be used to keep engine running at tickover. Running your engine on idle is unnecessary waste of fuel, so switch it off every time you stay stationary for a prolonged period of time. Or you can just order one of our Start-stop equipped cars and leave it to computer!

High engine speeds mean more resistance and more friction losses. Especially with modern turbocharged engines, which can achieve maximum torque in low rpms, it’s unnecessary to rev the engine too much. Or you can just listen to the gear recommendation system. Fast driving usually won’t save you more than a few minutes, but it may severely increase your fuel consumption. Even 10 or 20km/h may make a huge difference. Keeping under the speed limits will not only save you money, but also make your journey safer and less stressful.
