Citroën recently announced the opening of orders for its latest addition to the compact segment, the new Citroën C3 equipped with the PureTech 100 S&S engine. This model represents a significant step forward in the C3 range, marking the debut of advanced technologies and innovative features to improve both comfort and performance.
Innovation and Comfort Redefined
The new C3 stands out for the introduction of suspension with progressive hydraulic shock absorbers, now standard on all versions. This technology, combined with the completely redesigned Citroën Advanced Comfort seats, promises an exceptionally smooth and comfortable driving experience, ideal for city traffic and long journeys. The C Zen Lounge dashboard has been redesigned to offer a calmer and more organised environment, increasing serenity on board.
Optimized Design and Dimensions
Despite the introduction of new features, the C3 remains compact and practical for urban driving, with a length of 4.01 metres. Citroën has also increased the ground clearance, improving the vehicle's versatility without compromising its agility. The exterior design continues to reflect the modern and attractive aesthetic that has characterised previous generations of the C3.
Technical Details and Availability
Under the hood, the C3 houses the 1.2 PureTech 100 hp petrol engine, known for its efficiency and responsiveness. Available with a manual gearbox, this engine is an excellent choice for those looking for a balance between performance and optimal fuel consumption. The new C3 is offered at a starting price of 14,990 euros, making it an attractive option in the budget car segment. The first deliveries are scheduled for summer 2024, while a hybrid version will be launched later in the year.
Conclusion
With over 5.6 million units sold since it was first introduced in 2002, the Citroën C3 has continued to evolve, adapting to the needs of modern urban drivers. The new C3 PureTech 100 S&S is a testament to this evolution, offering cutting-edge technologies and significant improvements that promise to further strengthen its position in the market.
