  • Citroen C3-XR Crossover Unveiled at C_42 on the Champs Elysées

    Citroen-C3-XR-THUMBCitroen C3-XR compact SUV was unveiled today at C_42 on the Champs Elysées. The crossover is robust, elegant and dynamic. It will be launched in China in December, which will extend company’s cover of this market. In fact, nowadays the Chinese market represents more than one in four sales for the brand. The fast sales growth for the brand in this country is supported by a rapidly expanding network of 470 dealers. Models such as C-Elysée and C4 L are an example of the good recognition by the customers there.

    C3-XR is an embodiment of Citroen’s contemporary approach based on the values: strong design, remarkable comfort and technology choices. The symbolic location, at which the crossover was presented, was chosen to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Franco-Chinese diplomatic relations and emphasise the French origins of this SUV.

    The model is based on the Citroen C-XR Concept that was unveiled at Beijing Motor Show in April this year. The comfort is of the highest standard, due to the benchmark levels of interior space, the roomy and welcoming driving position, and the ride comfort.

    In addition, C3-XR also benefits from the latest innovations that the French company offers. For example the technological equipment features keyless entry and start, reversing camera, grip control and Citroen’s telematic services.

    Citroen C3-XR will be powered from launch by the THP 160 S&S engine coupled with the latest generation EAT6 automatic gearbox. It will be produced at Wuhan, China, with sales starting in December.

  • Citroen C-XR Concept Previews Future Production SUV

    Citroen-C-XR-Concept-THUMBCitroen C-XR Concept is a contemporary SUV that made a world premiere at this year’s Beijing Motor Show. It is a preview of the first crossover developed jointly between Citroen and the DongFeng Motor Group. The vehicle is intended for production in China and offers compact styling with an assertive look combined with elegance and strength. It is also promised to deliver great fuel efficiency.

    CX-R concept has wide chrome-finished grille that links the chevrons to the headlamps. In addition, at the front are featured LED daytime running lights that enhance the front light signature as well as front optics with double module and indicators. The C-shaped side signature links visually the roof bars and the chrome-finished waistline. At the rear, Citroen added 3D-effect rear lights. They were combined with a chrome-finished dual tailpipe.

    Furthermore, the concept vehicle runs on 17-inch wheels fitted with All Seasons tyres. The front and rear fairings and wheel arch embellishers, red side décor and wing-mirror housings, round-out the look. Another detail is that the vehicle features the longest wheelbase in the segment measured at 2.65m, thus delivering in-car spaciousness. The large glass panoramic roof contributes towards soft filtered light inside.

    Citroen C-XR Concept is fitted with Grip Control technology. This system manages optimal traction of the wheels on all types of ground. The concept is fitted with the THP 160 petrol engine that includes a Stop&Start function. The unit is coupled with the latest generation automatic gearbox. A key factor to the increased fuel and CO2 efficiency is the considerable weight savings.
