The current Citigo, in case you have forgotten or never knew, is VW-owned Skoda's version of the Volkswagen Up. The Up was electrified five years ago in the form of the entertainingly named e-Up. So why has it taken so long for the VW Group to give the Citigo the electric treatment? Probably the sums didn't work out. But now they clearly do. As they must for Seat, which has just launched an electric version of its own take on the Up that's badged as the Mii. So, what have we got here? An 82bhp electric motor driving the front wheels and powered by a 36.8kWh battery. It's the same arrangement that's fitted to VW and Seat's version of the car. The range, according to WLTP testing, is 161 miles, which is more than adequate for a car that is well suited to town driving.

Now let's talk money because this is what's going to make the Citigo e iV an easy sell for your local Skoda salesperson. which makes it the keenest priced pure electric car you can buy. ''Claimed miles is likely achievable with a restraint The SE-L is reasonable too at £19,315 (virtually the same price as Seat's version). As well as the fast charging facility the SE L comes with 16in alloy wheels, bodycoloured mirrors, ambient lighting and a comfort pack that includes heated seats and parking sensors. Like the petrol Citigo before it, the iV doesn't come with an infotainment system but has a simple bracket into which you can put your smartphone. Perfect: no infotainment system to go out of date.
