THE NEW LOW CO2 CITROËN VISIODRIVE

The new C3 is a smart, sophisticated, low CO₂ and unique 5-door supermini, designed for the modern family, and is expected to be on sale from 15^th January 2010.

It boasts contemporary and dynamic styling, a sleek profile, refined quality throughout and a massive panoramic ‘Zenith’ windscreen. Citroen believe this car sets a new benchmark in the B-segment - and is a bold reinvention of its popular predecessor, which sold more than 2 million units worldwide.

With a focus on four main areas - STYLE, QUALITY, SPACE and EFFICIENT PERFORMANCE - Citroën’s design team have created one of the most appealing and rewarding models to own in its class.

Just one of the stand-out design features of this new car is the vast and flowing glass windscreen. The new C3 also offers one of the most spacious cabin environments and a class-leading 300-litres of boot space. New C3’s intelligent architecture maximizes the use of space and provides generous amounts of room for all occupants and ensures exceptional driver and passenger comfort .
On the road, new C3 combines refined performance with a smooth ride and nimble handling. The designers’ focus on the control of weight and optimising aerodynamics means the new C3 is one of Citroën’s most CO₂-efficient models. A Special Edition Airdream+ with just 99g/km of CO₂ will be available to order from launch.

To further promote money-saving greener driving, most versions feature a Gear Efficiency Indicator (GEI), which alerts the driver at the optimum moment to change gear - helping them to minimise fuel consumption.
