How the City Car Got an Upgrade

When you look back at the history of city cars it isn’t difficult to spot the trend. People wanted small, nippy, cars like the Peugeot 107 or Citroen C1 for getting around. They were quick, compact, and got the job done. However, in recent years, the city car has undergone a makeover. Now people want to invest in larger, trendier alternatives. So what sort of models are in the market now? 

Hyundai i10 

The Hyundai i10 ticks so many boxes for what’s to be expected from the modern city car. It’s spacious, offering you plenty of space in the boot for luggage and shopping, but without being bulky. Both its interior and exterior are slick, making for a comfortable and stylish ride. Are you overwhelmed and don’t know which model to go for? Personal car leasing can help you find the car that’s right for you.

Suzuki Ignis 

The Suzuki Ignis has been described as one of the more quirky city cars. It’s certainly a more compact car than some of the other makes you’ll find on this list. However, you’ll still have plenty of space so that you and your passengers can be comfortable. One of its main appeals is its fuel-efficiency. In a time where environmental-friendly cars are of increasing importance, this shouldn’t be overlooked. 

Renault Twingo

The Renault Twingo partnered with Mercedes and Smart to make this vehicle happen. The results make for a great city car. The interior can be customised in three different styles, so you personalise your car to suit your tastes. It is a high-seated vehicle, so it makes manoeuvring traffic a breeze. Despite its size, you’ll be pleased to know it’s easy to park in those tight spots. This Twingo model makes for an easy urban driving experience.

Audi A1

You’ll notice that well-known names are dropping new models of their historically reliable and efficient classics. The Audi A1 is a perfect example of this. When you hear Audi, you think of luxury and reliability. The company is bringing what its best-known for this second-generation model. The price tag comes with some great benefits – from its quiet engine to an overall smooth driving experience. 

Toyota Aygo

Another car brand that’s giving new lease of life to its classic model that’s been on the roads for years. The Toyota Aygo helped create the modern city car thanks to its lightweight construction. Its new and improved exterior has given the car a contemporary look. Plus, the safety features have improved tenfold. This Toyota makes for a fun drive, so sit back and enjoy the ride.

From small and compact to larger and luxurious: the city car has shifted to make for a smoother driving experience for everyone. Which model would you like to drive?
