With 2016 upon us, it's a good a time as any to start gathering intel on what the MY17 Citigo will have to offer
What I know so far - (we'll ignore the passenger control window switch on the drivers side and the parcel shelf string as many people already know about this and, the 2015 models have been rolling out with such features)
The current Citigo Monte Carlo (2016) will have Tinted rear lights as standard
The interior centre console will be red (Again the Citigo Monte Carlo only)
There is also rumours on the DRL's being where the current fog lights are (more detail is below and I believe this is confirmed for possibly the MY17 or the MY16)
What's to be expected for next year?

"Skoda Citigo
The smallest model will see its automatic air conditioning, the new system info and rain sensor. Citigo MY2017 will be announced after the traffic light LED daytime driving, which will be placed in the front headlights."
Source link (will need to be translated) - http://bit.ly/1Xo7Ek2 what the text from that link tells me is the following*
MY17 New (potential) Features -
Automatic air conditioning
So I'm gathering that this means Climate Control (this is already a feature on the MY15/16 E-Up! see here and navigate to interior - http://bit.ly/20ZxTPV)
A new PID
Going off of "New system info" I presume this to be a new PID? I could be wrong though and it might even be a new radio
Rain sensor
Self explanatory, basically this is auto wipe (if you want to really go into the nitty gritty nerdy stuff see here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_sensor)
Traffic light LED day time driving
Traffic light what now??! Going on from above, I assume this just means LED DRL's but, the real plot twist is "Innovative Citigo then know mainly by LED daytime running lights in the main headlamps. " (see source link and scroll to Citigo, will need to be translated - http://bit.ly/1PrOlmY) the reason I say that is because that is 2 different sites that both say the LED DRL's will be built into the "main headlamps/front headlights" and not the fog lights as many have led to believe, we'll just have to see what the future brings and which one it'll be
Update - 13/02/16
Pleather Seats
Had a thought today that since the Up! has had the option for Pleather seats since release, this is something that could be introduced to the Citigo next year, but there is no word on this at all for the moment
This is all I've got for now at least.. I'll likely update this here and there when more info becomes readily available
*This is my own opinion and the facts above aren't strictly true and mere assumptions as to what the MY17 Citigo could feature in the near future
