Where each one leads
Škoda Citigo
- New Škoda Citigo cars registered in Europe in 2022 average 4 g/km of CO₂ on the WLTP test, against 62 for the Volkswagen Up! in 2022.
Volkswagen Up!
Ahead on none of the like-for-like measures.
Too close to call: MOT pass rate against cars of the same age; dutch odometer readings judged illogical.
Only measures that do not depend on how many cars were sold: pass and failure rates against cars of the same age, ratings, fuel use and CO₂. How we compare
