Just found this german video on youtube - I assume we will hear more news soon.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEy91pNDIA

new bumpers and rear lights, more chrome
optional 90 PS TSI
new infotainment systems using with phone integration and -holder
multifunction steering wheel
as well as new colour options, dashes, etc.

If this is the same 999cc 3-cylinder as the Golf 1.0 TSI BMT then it should be possible to remap it to 130-140 PS. I think this could be quite fun to drive as a third car/city car.

Here's an article with pictures:

Video has been removed...

Sounds interesting though, I've always found them quite entertaining to drive and would be more fun with extra power driving

The infotainment upgrades climate control and a turbo certainly makes it appealing to me

Waits to see how much of this update gets to the Citigo and Mii, looks good though.

Yeah, looks really nice. We had planned to buy one later this year as a family run around, so will probably hold on for the new version. The 1.0T looks like a good option.
