New Citroen C1 revealed
The latest version of Citroen’s city car is available in both three and five-door versions, as well as a new open-top body style called Airscape. The front end features the key characteristics of the new brand models, with the Citroen C1’s two-part headlamps and round inserts creating a smiling front end.
The 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-inch or 15-inch wheel covers and 15-inch diamond-tipped alloy wheels are also available.
The interior of the 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.
The C1 is designed to carry up to four adults in comfort, with generous space in the front and rear. Both three and five-door versions maintain compact dimensions: 3.46m long / 1.62m wide /1.45m tall. One of the most compact city cars on the market, the versatile Citroen C1’s neat dimensions make it nimble and easy to manœuvre with an optimum turning radius of 4.80m and electric power steering for easy handling.
There are storage compartments throughout the cabin with cup holders and a glovebox able to hold a one-litre bottle and with a lid for greater peace of mind. The functional 196-litre boot is easy to access, with the parcel shelf folding away when the tailgate is opened. With the rear seats folded, boot capacity increases to 750 litres.
Compared with the previous-generation model, the Citroen C1 features a rear axle that is 4kg lighter, new suspension springs, new shock absorbers and a new large-diameter anti-roll bar. These changes improve both suspension comfort and road handling. New electric power steering delivers a precise and enjoyable drive with smooth, satisfying and sharp steering both in the city and on the open road.
The Citroen C1 features intuitive, easy-to-use technologies. It is available with a 7-inch Touch Drive Interface, grouping together all media functions (radio, telephone, video player, on-board computer). Mirror Screen technology offers advanced connectivity. This function allows the motorist to copy smartphone content onto the 7’’ Touch Drive Interface for easy display and control. To do this, a data exchange app must be installed on the smartphone, before being plugged into the car’s USB port, compatibility permitting.
Once installed, the motorist can take full advantage of the complete range of smartphone apps from the Touch Drive Interface: navigation, telephone, address book, music, web radio… and any other useful driving-compatible apps. A range of on-board technology makes driving easier such as a reversing camera, which projects images onto the Touch Drive Interface, simplifying manoeuvres, such as parking in tight spaces.
It also features hands-free entry and drive. This function lets the driver enter and start the car without taking out the electronic key – convenient technology typically seen on more premium models. Hill-start assist is also standard. This feature holds the car steady for two seconds for an easy re-start on slopes with a gradient of over 3%.
The new Citroen C1 is available with a choice of two latest-generation petrol engines. With the e-VTi 68 Airdream engine mated to a 5-speed gearbox and featuring Stop&Start technology with a special aerodynamics pack, the New Citroën C1 is on par with the best in class for fuel consumption.
The VTi 68 engine is available with the clutchless ETG (Efficient Tronic Gearbox). This 5-speed gearbox features a creep function and optimised pedal mapping, adjusting power effectively for smoother start-ups and enhanced driveability.
The other engine is the new VTi 82 from the PureTech engine family. Built in France, this 1.2 litre 3-cylinder 82bhp petrol engine uses innovative technologies for fuel consumption of 65mpg and just 99g/km CO2 emissions, combined with driveability and nimble performance – torque of 118 Nm and 0-60mph acceleration in 11 seconds.
