The brand new Citroen C3 will continue to focus on practicality and relief when it makes its debut this summer season, and sales will start in the autumn. We bought our first glimpse of the French automaker’s new Ford Fiesta and VW Polo rival once we visited the first test of the automaker’s new rally vehicle within the south of France. Now, our individual pictures exhibit how the extreme motorsport variant must translate right into a wonderful road vehicle.
Regardless of a heavy camouflage and the superfluous width and wings of the rally auto, a few key design cues of the new C3 are seen. It’s wider and cut down than the conventionally styled car it replaces, even though it’s roughly the same size, at slightly below four metres.
The front grille and headlamps feature an even more thrilling take on the slim line treatment already visible on the C4 Picasso and C4 Cactus, however the rear is extra traditional, with lights that appear somewhat shut in edict to those on the DS 3. We anticipate the C3 to get a version of the Cactus’s innovative Air bumps, yet it’s no longer clear if this might be on all variants.
The engine line-up will include the latest types of PSA’s 1.0 and 1.2-litre three-cylinder Citroen C3 engines, with the flash of those units likely to be equipped in few distinctive states of tune.
PSA’s BlueHDi 1.6 diesel engine will be the most efficient engine within the line-up, with at least two distinctive energy outputs and claimed CO2 emissions of less than 90g/km
At the top of the variety, there must be a ‘heat’ efficiency variation – the closest thing to a hot Citroen in view that the DS 3 was once launched back in 2010. It’s more likely to get a 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine, although its power output might be a way wanting the 197bhp within the Peugeot 208.
The C3 isn’t implicit to be one of the crucial seven plug-in hybrids and 4 electric models that PSA plans to launch before 2021. These more highly-priced powertrains are likely to be reserved for larger cars, probably delivering four-wheel drive on SUVs via electric motors on the rear wheels.
