Chronology
Predecessor	Scania OmniCity Scania OmniLink

The Scania Citywide is a series of integrally-constructed low-floor and low-entry buses introduced by Scania in 2011, replacing the Scania OmniCity and OmniLink, except in UK and Ireland, where Scania chose to rely on Alexander Dennis, Irizar and other local bodywork manufacturers instead. The series shares some front styling details with the Scania Touring coach, while most of the design is a simple facelift from the OmniCity and OmniLink.

The Scania Citywide LE (CK) is a longitudinally-engined low-entry city and intercity bus based on the Scania K-series chassis, introduced in 2011 to replace the Scania OmniLink. This bus is not entirely low floor, although it does contain a low entrance and low floor area at the front of the bus; it is intended for quieter intercity or suburban routes. It is available as a two- (CK UB4x2LB) or tri-axle (CK UB6x2*4LB) between 12.0 and 14.8 metres, and as an articulated bus (CK UA6x2/2LB) at 18.1 metres, known as the Scania Citywide LEA.

In 2013, Scania started testing the Citywide LE as a diesel-electric hybrid-powered bus, and in 2014 both the 12.0-metre two-axle and the 14.8-metre tri-axle were introduced in diesel-electric hybrid-powered versions.

For the Nordic markets, Scania released in 2014 an in-house competitor to the Citywide LE with the Finnish-built Scania OmniExpress 3.20 LE. An interesting design is that the Citywide LE Hybrid has a swooping roofline in the front and the rear it is a rear roof spoiler.
