The 2014 Geneva Motor Show will see the première of the new Citroën C1 – a fresh take on a popular model that has sold more than 760,000 examples worldwide since its launch in 2005. The latest version of Citroën’s city car is available in both three and five-door versions, as well as a new open-top body style called Airscape. A car with a strong personality, delivering an upbeat response to urban mobility requirements, the new Citroën C1 reflects the bold renewal of Citroën’s C-line. The new Citroën C1 features:
- more design; with dynamic lines and a cheerful front-end gaze, characterised by its headlights, the C1 is an immediate head-turner. Bi-tone versions and brightly coloured interiors underline the playful character and joie de vivre. The New C1 is unmistakably a member of the new Citroën family
- greater comfort, for everyday driving. Agile and nippy, the New C1 marries compact exterior dimensions (just 3.46m), with easy handling and a turning circle of 4.80m. Ride comfort is further improved, thanks to the C1’s exceptional suspension comfort and impeccable road handling
- more useful technology, including the 7” Touch Driver Interface and Mirror Screen technology, to copy and run smartphone apps from the touchscreen. The New Citroën C1 can also be fitted with keyless entry and start, as well as a reversing camera and hill-start assist
- optimised running costs – weighing just 840kg and available with new-generation petrol engines, the New Citroën C1 ranks among the best in class for fuel consumption
The new Citroën C1 is available in three and five-door versions, as a hatchback or a soft-top vehicle with Airscape. The dynamic, lively styling is underlined by the visual continuity between the windscreen and side windows, with black windscreen pillars and, depending on trim level, chrome-finish weather strips. The front end features the key characteristics of the new brand models, with the new Citroën C1’s two-part headlamps and round inserts creating a smiling front end. Meanwhile, the C1’s vertical daytime running LED lights create a signature that emphasises the car’s cheerful design and strong character. Lighting effects continue at the rear, with a glass tailgate and square lights creating a 3D effect. An eye-catching and appealing addition to the new breed of Citroën models, the New Citroën C1 combines strong personality with compact, condensed volumes and wider tracks at both the front and rear. The New Citroën C1 is available in eight exterior colours (Caldéra Black, Gallium Grey, Carlinite Grey, Olive Brown, Lipizan White, Smalt Blue, Scarlet Red and Sunrise Red) and can also be personalised with bi-tone colour options. Two special launch versions are available with different body and roof colours – Olive Brown roof and Lipizan White body. The soft-top version, Airscape, is also bi-toned. Contrasting with the body colour, the soft top is available in a choice of three colours: Sunrise Red, Black or Grey. For a touch of urban chic, 14’’ or 15’’ wheel covers and 15’’ diamond-tipped alloy wheels are also available. The interior of the New Citroën C1 is bright and airy with a colourful ambience. Designed with clean, structured lines, the dashboard features bright colours on the multimedia panel, air vent trim and gear lever base. The door panels also include body-coloured inserts.
