Citroen celebrates 10,000 new C3 sales in the U.K.

The new Citroen C3 has just achieved an impressive 10,000 sales in the first six months since its official launch in the U.K., officially making it Citroen's top-selling model in the country once again. In all markets combined, almost 160,000 sales have now been recorded for this new model. The appeal of this latest Citroen is confirmed by the number of influential awards already received for the car (over 25 globally) and an overall client rating of 4.7 out of five stars on Citroen Advisor.

This exceptional performance confirms the outstanding appeal of the new C3, along with impressive U.K. results such as over 60 percent of sales in the top-end Flair trim, over 95 percent of sales with a two-tone (body/roof) paint finish, and over 64 percent of cars sold with Airbump panels. With the debut of ConnectedCAM Citroen - the world's first built-in dashcam - the new C3 allows the driver and front passenger to safely take photos or videos that can be instantly shared via social media using a free app.

The high-performance powertrain options are efficient and economical with PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines, and the latest generation EAT6 fully automatic gearbox is available as part of the range. The new C3 delivers high levels of passenger comfort and a highly customisable character, offering 36 different exterior colour combinations.
