Imagine a city where the streets are awash with a million colours and as many choices. Where graffiti is seen as art deco. Where traffic hums optimistically, and waiting at a red light is never frustrating or boring. A city constantly on the move. A city that lives, breathes and feels as though it belongs to you. It was made for you. Imagine a city like that. Then put your foot down in a Volkswagen Citi.
Bright and charismatic, heads will turn wherever you go. A lower front grille that follows the lines of the main grille, adds a dynamic element to the front of the Citi, enhancing its vibrant look and adding an air of sportiness. The back of the Citi looks just as good as the front, characterised by a large circular brake light, a gleaming rectangular reverse light, and an integrated indicator light. Every Citi comes with a substantial amount of street cred, new badging and sporty wheel rims.
The cool and comfortable interior includes a modern dashboard with cup holders and a trendy interior trim available in five different colours. So make yourself comfortable, because you’re in for the ride of your life.
Go where you want to go, be where you want to be. The Citi was built to let you ride the way you like. Lightning quick steering and off-the-wall handling combine with a 5-speed manual gearbox to ensure only the smoothest cornering and acceleration. All Citis boast fuel injected engines and can take you from 0 to 60km/h in under 5 seconds - perfect for whether you need to get downtown or out of town. The powerful CitiRox 1.4i and 1.6i come standard with twin exhausts, sport suspension, sport seats, and the ability to accelerate from 0 - 100km/h in just 11.3 and 9.7 seconds respectively. They also have just as much flash inside as on the road – silver finishes on the dash, dials and pedals. The steering-wheel is just as racy with an aluminium trim finish and soft-grip touch, its T-shape providing an unobstructed view of the gauges. This Citi certainly rocks!
Or choose to see and be seen in the CitiSport 1.4i and 1.6i – with sport suspension and a front loading CD/ MP3 player as standard. This is the Citi for people who want their car to reflect something of who they are – unique, stylish and full of flair. The CitiSport 1.6i also proudly sports 15” alloy wheels. Get into the CitiStorm 1.4i with 14” alloy wheels and colourful styling. Low on fuel consumption, you can cruise into the sunset, looking good and feeling light. Want even more choice? Why not mix it up in the TenaCiti 1.4i. It’s the most affordable car across the range – with as much urban panache as any in the range and more than enough tenacious energy for even the most adventurous urbanite. With remote central locking and alarm available as an optional feature on the TenaCiti and CitiStorm, and standard on the rest of the range, your Citi will remain where you left it.
Rigorous off-road testing ensures this icon stays where it belongs – on the road. Rust-proof, water resistant and able to last in the sun, there’s a lot of life drilled into every Citi. A built in steel safety cell and crumple zones keep its body sturdy, whilst negative roll radius and skid prevention keep you balanced when you’re braking hard. Coupled with three-point seatbelts, collapsible steering-wheel, driver airbag and immobiliser, you’ll feel safe no matter where you are in the city.
Own one, and you own them all. The Citi is your time, your space, and your freedom. The question is: what do you want to do with it?
