A sparkling new look for 2012

CITROÃ?N’S popular C1 has
a sparkling new look and even greater buyer appeal for 2012.

The brand’s entry-level
city car has already attracted over 620,000 customers worldwide since its
launch in 2005. Now, with new styling, enhanced levels of equipment and a more
frugal engine, the New C1 sets an even higher benchmark in the segment.

New features include CO2
emissions from just 99g/km, LED daytime running lights, a CD audio system with
Citroën’s integrated Connecting Box.

The New C1 will be
available in the Ireland from March 2012.

At just 3.44m long, the
New C1 remains the most compact model in the Citroën range. Available in both
3-door and 5-door guise from launch, the New C1 appeals as one of the most
economical and ecological city cars on the market, but it still has the ability
to transport four adults in comfort and boasts a plethora of storage
compartments in the dashboard, central console and door panels.

Boot volume can also be
adjusted thanks to folding rear seats and ranges from 139 litres to over 700
litres. The New C1’s compact dimensions make it the ideal travelling companion,
offering an agile and responsive ride, perfectly tailored for urban and city
driving. A turning circle of just 9.63 metres makes the New C1 incredibly easy
to manoeuvre in city traffic.

Agile and frugal, the
New Citroën C1 is powered by a three-cylinder petrol engine developing 68hp.
Equipped with a manual gearbox, the New Citroën C1 1.0i boasts improved fuel
economy of up to 4.3 l/100km (65.7mpg) over a combined cycle. Emissions are
also improved to just 99g/km of CO2, making it the first Citroën petrol model
to emit less than 100g/km of CO2 and qualifying New C1 for Tax Band A.

The New Citroën C1 gains
even more appeal and personality through its new front end and shorter bonnet.

The headlights keep
their rounded shape, while the front bumper has been entirely redesigned to
house fog lights and LED daytime running lights, which are still a rarity in
the segment. The vertical design LED light signature – which is specific to
Citroën and can also be seen on DS3 and C4 AIRCROSS – strengthens the character
of the new model.

At the rear, the New C1
retains its innovative glass tailgate and features the brand’s new chevrons and
badging.

New C1 also gains new

‘Notus’ design 14

? wheels on the entry-level VT and is available with

‘Rift’
14

? alloy wheels, as an option, on higher specification VTR models.
