Citroen further accelerates its policy of developing sales in overseas markets and consolidates its status as a global brand. At the heart of its sales offensive is China, which represents the biggest market for Citroen with more than one in four of the brand's sales. It is also the success of the products, such as the C-Elysee and the C4 L, demonstrating that Citroen has been able to win recognition by providing responses that are concrete, tailored and modern, meeting the expectations of these new customers.
It is on these solid foundations and to extend its cover of this market that Citroen unveils the C3-XR, its new model to be launched in China at the end of the year. The vehicle is being presented at a symbolic location, C_42 on the Champs-Elysees, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Franco-Chinese diplomatic relations and emphasise the French origins of this SUV.
Very close to the concept car presented at Beijing in April 2014, the C3-XR is a pure product of the Citroen centre of style, which applied all of its know-how and creativity in the conception of this SUV, with its immediately identifiable design projecting robustness, elegance and dynamism. The Citroen C3-XR also benefits from the latest innovations, making for easier use through its technological equipment (keyless entry and starting, reversing camera, grip control, etc) and its connectivity via the Citroen telematic services.
On sale in December, C3-XR will be produced at Wuhan and will be available from launch with the THP 160 S&S engine coupled with the latest generation EAT6 automatic gearbox.
