Citroën C1 – a city kid with a smiling face and a big heart

That's the way it is now Citroën C1 available in two body styles: sedan (don't let the name fool you) and versions airscape, where it is the same version with a movable canvas roof. In length measure now 3.46 meters and offers four (as they say) real seats, and they managed to reduce the rally circle to 9.6 meters.

Trunk now accepts the minimum 196 liters of luggage, the bench seat folds in half, in which case the luggage space more than quadruples. There are eight body colors, two bicolor versions (more later) and three colors of sunroof. The latter measures 800×760 mm and is electrically movable, maneuvering it is also possible with her while driving regardless of speed.

The interior is much livelier compared to the outgoing model, and the central part of the center console and air vents can be dressed in red or white glossy tones. Passengers will certainly feel the improved front and rear suspension, at least those who have previously driven the predecessor. Sound insulation has also been improved, so driving is now much more comfortable.

A more colorful and advanced interior

On the dashboard, in addition to the round meter with a larger diameter in front of the driver, the eye most often stops at seven inches central touch screen, which, according to Citroën experts, has a very simple user interface.

Two engines and gearboxes and S&S

In the field of motorization, great emphasis was placed on the economy of the vehicle, which makes it stand out vehicle weight ready to drive a total of 840 kilograms, and all engines in the range boast CO2 emissions below 100 grams per km. The base engine is 1.0-liter three-cylinder, which develops 50 kW and hears the name VTi68. It is available in a version with manual and robotic gearbox and with or without a system start&stop. The latter prides itself on consumption 3.8 liters and only 88 grams of CO2 emissions per km. There is less choice with the more powerful of the two engines, namely the version puretech 82, where it is about 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine with 60 kW greatest strength, which on average consumes 4.3 liters fuel and releases into the atmosphere 99 grams of CO2 emissions.

There are also options three equipment packages: live, feel and airscape feel, but the basic one offers audio device, LED daytime running lights and ESC, but not the climate either, which comes into the equipment with another equipment package. Prices as said, they are not yet known, but they will be started at around 8,500 euros. But they will be finally known at the end of the month, when the sale of this naughty city vehicle officially goes on sale.

The front end is unexpectedly playful, but also serious thanks to the LED daytime running lights. It reminds of various models with a trident on the hood, and the lights of the fiat 500 L model.

As expected, the interior is very similar to that of the Toyota Aygo, there are only a few differences in the upholstery and the fact that the French also has the option of a robotic gearbox.

The playfulness continues inside as well, especially thanks to the colorful upholstery of the seats, the backrests of which are made from one piece. Unlike the Ayga, the C1 is only available as a three-door version.
