New Citroen C3
The all-new Citroen C3 is finally here. The brand's second
model to sport the new makeover, after the C4 Cactus, has received the
signature airbump protection panels, slim lights flanking the grille, main
headlights positioned right underneath, DS3-inspired taillights and rear end
and a slightly curved roof.
Citroen offers its new supermini in 36
possible color combos, with nine body shades and three colors for the roof,
joined by four interior themes, including the Urban Red, which adds a red dash
panel finish and red stitching.
Compared to the larger C4 Cactus, the
cabin features conventional dials, a lower-mounted touchscreen display and
face-level air vents. A 3D satellite navigation system with real-time traffic
info, rearview camera, the brand's SOS service with live assistance, blind spot
warning, hill start assist and driver fatigue warning are some of the optional
features that equip the new C3.
The list of gadgets also includes what
Citroen refers to as ConnectedCam, a system that uses a wide-angle camera, GPS
and Web connection to send images, at a single click, to social media networks,
but this can also be used to make 20-sec videos when the vehicle is stationary.
The engine lineup comprises of the
PureTech 68 Ps, 82 Ps and 110 Ps three-cylinder petrol
units and the BlueHDi 75 Ps and 100 Ps diesels. Depending on
the selected grade, customers will get to choose between a manual and a
six-speed automatic transmission.
