2015 The new Citroen C1 Features - Review and Efficient Engines

At the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, Citroen is premiering the new Citroen C1, a fresh take on a best-seller that has notched up more than 760,000 sales since its launch in 2005. This new city car is available in 3- door and 5-door versions and also in a new open-top body style called Airscape. A car with a strong personality, delivering an upbeat response to urban mobility requirements, the new Citroen C1 reflects the renewal of Citroen.

The new Citroen C1 features: more design, with dynamic lines and a cheerful front end with a cheeky gaze created by the headlamps. Two-tone versions and brightly coloured interiors underline the car's character and joy for living. It is clearly a member of the new family of Citroen vehicles. With its unique styling and irresistible looks, it is an immediate eye-catcher; more comfort, for day-to-day driving. An agile car designed to nip in and out of traffic, it allies compact exterior dimensions (just 3.46m), with easy handling and a turning circle of 4.80m. It also delivers exceptional suspension comfort and impeccable road manners; more useful technology, to make life easier, with convenient features such as the 7" touchscreen, and Mirror Screen technology to copy and run smartphone apps from the touchscreen. The new Citroen C1 can also be fitted with hands-free entry and drive, with a reversing camera, and with hill-start assist, for increased peace of mind; optimised running costs: weighing just 840 kg, and shipping with new-generation petrol engines, the new Citroen C1 ranks among the best in class for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The new Citroen C1 ships 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 Citroen C1 is on a par with the best for fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The new Citroen C1 is also available with the new VTi 82 from the PureTech engine family. Built in France, this 1.2 litre 3-cylinder petrol engine developing 82 bhp uses innovative, efficient and economical technologies, for fuel consumption of 4.3l/100 km and CO2 emissions of 99g/km, allied with driveability and nimble performance. With torque of 118 Nm and 0-100 kph acceleration in 11 seconds, this engine contributes to the ability of the new Citroen C1 to head for the open road.
