The second generation Citroen C1 has welcomed a few updates for
2018. The most important one is the 1.0-liter three-cylinder VTi engine,
developed by Toyota, which is now rated at 72 PS, up 4 PS, and meets
the Euro 6.2 emissions requirements. The unit can be mated with a manual or an
automatic gearbox. The city car is available in up to 32 different
color combinations and gets new upholstery options inside.
It also benefits from new technology features such
as MirrorLink, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay for the 7-inch touchscreen
infotainment system, reversing camera, speed limit recognition and keyless
entry&go. Active Lane Departure Warning, Active City Brake and Hill Start
Assist are available as well.
Looking to cater to young customers, the 2018
Citroen C1 can also be had in two new special editions, called Urban Ride and
ELLE. Both of them are already available for order in France, from € 14,450
(US$ 17,803) and € 14,950 (US$ 18,419) and add more equipment and
special features.
The Citroen C1 Urban Ride gets Caldera Black side
mirror casings, tinted windows, 15-inch alloy wheels and a choice of five
exterior colors, including the new Calvi Blue. Furthermore, it’s based on the
Shine grade, it’s available for the 5-door version of the Hatchback and
Airscape, and has special color touches inside, square blue cloth upholstery,
glossy black elements, plus dashboard decal and floor mats with the ‘Urban Ride’
initials.
The Citroen C1 ELLE celebrates
the brand’s collaboration with the famous female magazine. It’s based upon the
Shine trim level, comes as a 5-door hatchback, has three two-tone color
combination options, Caldera Black side mirrors, ‘ELLE’ special badging and
sits on 15-inch alloy wheels.
More visual updates are found inside, including the
Cherry Pink stitching for the Wave Light Grey upholstery, plus Anodized
Pink-finished parts and Glossy Black look for different elements. The dashboard
panel on the passenger side has a special decal and there are also special
floor mats with the ‘ELLE’ tag on them.
Powering both special editions is the aforementioned
petrol unit, which works together with a manual or an automatic transmission,
depending on the selected model.
