New Citroen C3 revealed: Citroen renews its best-selling C3 model

Citroen is renewing its best-selling C3 model, which has already sold more than 3.6 million examples since it was originally launched in 2002. It is set to shake-up the market with its highly customisable character and the very latest automotive technologies, including a world premiere for ConnectedCAM Citroen, an in-car HD camera that allows drivers to share their road trip photos and videos directly with friends and family.

The new C3 is audacious and full of personality by design, to ensure each owner can create a bespoke look that suits their individual style. The exterior has a two-tone paint option, with a choice of three roof colours and complimentary touches of colour around the car (fog lights, door mirrors, rear quarter panels and on the Airbump panels).

With a total of nine body colours (Polar White, Perla Nera Black, Shark Grey, Arctic Steel, Ruby Red, Almond Green, Cobalt Blue, Power Orange and Soft Sand) and three roof colours (Opal White, Onyx Black and Sport Red), there are a total of 36 possible combinations, giving the new C3 a fresh, modern look.

Inside, customers have a choice of four different interiors that all deliver a spacious, yet intimate feel, thanks to the shape of the seats and an uncluttered dashboard. Comfortable seats, a panoramic glass sunroof that fills the cabin with light, a 7.0-inch touchscreen that groups together all of the key vehicle functions and a keyless entry and start system, all combine to emphasise a feeling of reassurance, comfort and calm. 

The new C3 comes with a choice of latest generation, highly efficient PureTech petrol and BlueHDi turbodiesel engines. There is a choice of three PureTech three-cylinder petrol engines, with manual transmission: PureTech 68, 82 and 110 (Stop & Start), and two manual diesel powertrains: BlueHDi 75 (Stop & Start) and 100 (Stop & Start). For the ultimate in driveability and comfort, buyers have the option of the brand's EAT6 fully automatic gearbox.
