Citroën
The first SUV of the premium DS brand of the PSA group, the DS7 Crossback, will be a direct competitor to the Audi Q3 and Mercedes GLA sports utility vehicle. The DS brand says that it was inspired by the world of high fashion. All materials should be selected, processed and installed with the utmost care.
Do you like to travel and occasionally take a detour? Then the Citroën Spacetourer 4x4 Ë is perfect for you. It is a modern van designed for active families, which has a six-centimeter higher chassis and predicts an attractive production model.
Citroën will bring the Citroën C-aircross SUV concept to the Geneva Motor Show, which, following last year's Citroën Aircross concept, heralds the imminent arrival of a small SUV from this popular French brand. If last year's concept was based on the C4 Cactus model, this set of puckered "lips" is based on the new C3.
Italian architect Luca Agnelli is fascinated by the past, and his workshop specializes in custom-made bicycles. Among other things, he also makes them out of tanks, but most recently he made it out of a Citroën 2CV or spačka (1949-1990), as we affectionately called this popular Citroën model with two horses, which mobilized many Slovenians and was also produced in Cimos in Koper, or even earlier in Tomos. His mask was combined with the rear of the equally famous cargo tricycle Doniselli Duomo, and the 2CV Paris electric tricycle was created, which will delight all die-hard retro fans.
At this year's Paris Motor Show (October 1-16, 2016), in addition to the new generation of the C3 model, Citroën will also show the Citroën Cxperience concept vehicle, which announces the future design guidelines of this French brand. It is a sedan 4.85 meters long without a B-pillar (which creates a feeling of more spaciousness inside), with which they want to fill the gap in the class of larger vehicles, which is now filled with the C5 model, which is already ripe for replacement, and the DS5 model . Is Citroën resurrecting the CX?
The completely new generation of Citroën C3 brings to the segment of small city cars the cute and futuristic playfulness that we already met with the Citroën C4 Cactus. Thus, Citroën continues the successful story of the model, which has been produced in as many as 3.5 million units since 2002. And he announces an interesting model offensive, where he wants to win hearts mainly with a certain amount of boldness.
Citroën C4 Picasso and C4 Grand Picasso have a new look. The external change is not drastic, it is more than cosmetic corrections, but the easiest way to recognize the new generation is the chrome trim around the fog lights and the 3D effects of the rear lights, while a look inside reveals many technical innovations, especially in the area of safety.
The Citroën DS, or "frog" as we call it, is one of the most recognizable cars in the world. The popular Citroën car from the 60s is now just history, an old-timer, but thanks to French designer Jean-Louis Bui, we can imagine what the next generation of this famous model would look like if the car with a timeless design that was in 1955, when rolled off the assembly line for the first time, decades ahead of the competition, manufactured today.
If we said that the Citroën Cactus M concept was a kind of successor to the Citroën Mehari from 1968, the Citroën E-Mehari is a purebred modern version of the legendary model, which is more than just an updated version of its predecessor. This one probably has the most varied "clientele", since on the one hand it was a leisure vehicle, and on the other a "physicist" driven by farmers and soldiers. The modern derivative is a four-seater pleasure cabriolet with electric drive that exudes freshness and difference.
Just as a cactus cannot live in drought and heat, the Citroën Cactus M study cannot live in living water, as the car is waterproof. It is a lively concept that exudes the free spirit of the legendary Méhari model, considered one of the most cute and simple cars of this French brand, and it grew out of the C4 Cactus model and another Aircross study, which was presented at the Shanghai Motor Show in April.
This time, Citroën will obviously attack the sports utility vehicle market with its own know-how, as it did not rely on external "contractors" for the production of the Aircross. The concept sports utility vehicle, which impresses with its innovative exterior, has borrowed some "moves" from the C4 Cactus, and the interior, albeit minimalist, but technologically, is from another world. However, it is a hybrid vehicle that can drive up to 50 kilometers on electricity alone.
