The new Citroen C3

The new Citroen C3 won’t be on sale until early next year but the youthful styling and upmarket interior will make the car a strong competitor to the Ford Fiesta. The cabin on the new Citroen C3 will be much brighter and a optional zenith roof will be available.

this is a tinted glass extension to the windscreen that runs over the heads of the driver and front passenger and stops at the mid point of the car.

The Citroen C3 will have an engine start/stop system to save fuel and cut co2 emissions when stationary in traffic, all the current engine line up will be available for the new Citroen C3 and at launch there will be a 99/km 90 bhp 1.6 diesel which will be the first Citroen below 100g/km.

As with the present Citroen C3 the car will be available in five doors only, the interior has been updated with classier seat coverings and softer higher grade materials for the dashboard and door trims. Extras to be offered on the new Citroen C3 include USB, iPod and Bluetooth connectivity and an interlinked sat nav and entertainment system. Prices will start at around the £11,000 mark.
