Skoda Australia has ruled out the tiny Citigo for Australia, with local head Michael Irmer saying that the numbers don't stack up for the VW Up-derived sub-light hatchback.

However after Volkswagen's decision to discontinue the slow-selling Up in this country, the Citigo's chances for local distribution have also evaporated.

Though Skoda's recent launch of the $18,990 Rapid small car cements its status as the Volkswagen Group's budget brand in Australia, Irmer confirmed that the company has no plans to expand into the ultra-price-competitive sub-light market.
