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 toCitroën and can also be seen on DS3 and C4 AIRCROSS – strengthens the character of the new model. At the rear, 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 and is available with ‘Rift’ 14” alloy wheels, as standard, on top of the range models.

ATTRACTIVE COLOURS & MATERIALS

The playful New Citroën C1 comes in a special launch colour that already adorns the C3 and DS3: Botticelli blue, a fresh-looking body colour included in the 2012 catalogue. The range of body colours also includes Scarlet red, Electra blue, Lipizzan white, Caldera black and two grey tones – one light, Gallium grey, and one dark, Carlinite grey.Citroën has also finished the grille with a chrome strip available from the mid-range trim level. The New Citroën C1 is as attractive inside as it is from the exterior. The leather steering wheel for EGS models has been redesigned, while manual gearbox versions get a new-look gearstick. Most models are available with stylish new ‘Orsai’ upholstery and entry-level models come with Mistral ‘Nokimat’ cloth. A Leather/Alcantara® option is now available, adding a high-end touch to the New C1 interior.

NEW ‘CRÉATIVE TECHNOLOGIE’ EQUIPMENT

The New Citroën C1 comes with a range of ‘Créative Technologie’ features. Technological treats, just for the driver, include steering-mounted paddle controls for the Electronic Gearbox System – a first for the C1. For even greater travelling comfort, the radio offering has been enhanced by a new facia matching the styling of the dashboard. Featuring a time display, the all-new CD audio system comes with a Connecting Box (optional from the second trim level and standard on top of the range models), which is able to read all MP3 formats and is equipped with a Bluetooth® function. It is accompanied by USB and jack hook-ups at the base of the central console.

ENHANCED WELL-BEING & SAFETY

The New C1 is a versatile performer. Complementing its existing on-road abilities, the model features new power steering settings and shock absorbers for more agility and ride comfort at low speeds. The new model will be available with a range of technologies for safer urban driving, including ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution, Isofix anchorage points and ESP.

The New Citroën C1 will make its official debut at the Brussels Motor Show on Tuesday 10 January (Press Day). The general public will be able to view the new model from 12 – 22 January on Citroën’s stand in Hall 6.
