  • Citroen Receives Two Greenfleet Awards

    This year Citroen has been prized with two key GreenFleet awards, which acknowledge the manufacturer’s outstanding quality of LCV products as well as its growing number of efficient, low emission city vehicles. The official ceremony took place in Birmingham and presented Citroen with two very significant awards: GreenFleet City Car Manufacturer of the Year Award and GreenFleet LCV Manufacturer of the Year Award. Additionally, the carmaker was also praised in the GreenFleet Fleet Car Manufacturer of the Year category.

    This double triumph is a repercussion of Citroen’s prolonged development of design innovations and remarkable engineering improvements. What is more, with its expanding range of ultra-low emission city cars, the company is placed among the most adequate and the best efficiently operating automobile manufacturers worldwide.

    Currently Citroen offers a great number of cars (51 in total) with ultra-low, 0-100g/km CO2 emissions. These models vary between city cars, coupes, lower medium hatchbacks, upper medium saloons/estates, small people carriers, cabrios, full size 5/7seat people carriers, premium upper medium hatchbacks and super-minis. Part of the ultra-low emissions range is the New C1 with its 19 model variants all of which are under 100g/km CO2 emissions. The recently-launched C4 Cactus is another ultra-low-emission vehicle. Its engine options are comprised of three cylinder PureTech petrol engines, as well as new Euro 6 Blue HDi diesel engines, for emissions as low as 82g/km and a combined cycle fuel economy of up to 91.1mpg.

    Finally, the van line-up boasts economy improvements and class-leading payload capacity. The fuel economy figures of the newly released Relay range, for instance, have been refined by up to 15% – with combined cycle fuel economy around 37.7-42.8mpg, which is quite exceptional. New Relay CO2 emissions are estimated at less than 200g/km for the average 3.5 tonne model.

  • 2014 Citroen C1 Makes Goodwood Debut

    2014-citroen-c1-THUMCitroen is currently refreshing its 2014 C1 model, which was revealed at the Geneva Motor Show. The firs version of the car was revealed in 2005 and since then tthe best-seller has notched up more than 780,000 sales. This new city car is available in 3- door and 5-door versions. What is more, it is also available in a new open-top body style called Airscape. Although a small car it has a strong personality, which delivers an upbeat response to urban mobility requirements. The new C1 reflects all that new Citroen design philosophy is about.

    The C1 features more attractive 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. Its unique styling and irresistible looks is what makes in an immediate eye-catcher.

    Furthermore, the vehicle offers more comfort in everyday 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 great suspension comfort.

    The car has been equipped with more useful technology. For instance, Citroen has added convenient features such as the 7’’ touchscreen, and Mirror Screen technology to copy and run smartphone apps from the touchscreen, as well as hands-free entry and drive, with a reversing camera, and with hill-start assist.

    C1 also offers optimised running costs. The firs reason for this is the weight, which is just 840 kg. The second factor is the new-generation petrol engines, that are regarded best in class for fuel consumption of 3.8l/100 km and CO2 emissions (88 g/100km).

    2014 Citroën C1 is currently making an UK debut at 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

  • Citroen C1 Swiss & Me Concept Car To Debut In Geneva

    Citroen-C1-Swiss-Me-Concept-Car-THUMBIn the beginning of the week Citroen introduced the new 2014 C1 which was described as the “A Perfect Car for City Driving”. It was also announced that the model will be unveiled in Geneva. Now, the brand is also disclosing that it will reveal also at the show a C1 based Swiss & Me concept.

    The concept vehicle illustrates personalization possibilities for the car and also comes to pay homage to the city of Geneva, being “dressed” in the colors of the national flag of Switzerland. In fact, the Citroen C1 Swiss & Me Concept includes a Swiss flag on its roof.

    The new model adopts a playful approach to the constraints of city driving. A bi-tone effect blends a red roof (featuring the Swiss flag), and a pearl white body. Splashes of red can be seen on the red wing mirrors, and they additionally complement the exterior styling of the C1 Swiss & Me concept.

    Furthermore, the car also highlights the on-road performance of the 2014 Citroen C1, thanks to its wing extensions, large wheels and a central tailpipe. More information is set to be disclosed around the official debut.
