ANNEX 1: REMINDER OF NEW C3’S EVOLUTIONS

1. A UNIQUE PERSONALITY

A versatile city car, the third-generation Citroën #C3 has many advantages that have been able to win over 750,000 customers worldwide since its launch in late 2016. C3 is about a unique attitude, a different graphic signature, a unique shape on a market that is highly stereotyped.

A NEW FRONT END

This new very straight front end inspired by the CXPERIENCE concept car reinforces its personality. The new signature, reflecting the Citroën identity, changes here to accentuate the perception of the height of the bonnet. First of all, the chevrons and the chrome strip extend to the LED daytime running lights (depending on the version) and highlight the width of the car. Secondly, the new headlights with a high-tech look and equipped with LEDs on all versions  have also been redesigned. Furthermore, a touch of colour and freshness is provided by the inserts surrounding the fog lights on the lower part.

A STRONG IDENTITY

• A high, horizontal front end that gives New #C3 a completely confident look for a compact size measuring 3.99m long.
• Redesigned side Airbumps^® (depending on version). A true graphic signature (3 embossed bubble panels at the bottom of the door with a coloured surround depending on the Colour Pack), they protect the bodywork while enhancing the style of the vehicle.
• Large diameter wheels (640 mm depending on the version). New #C3 offers the largest wheels on the market.
• Wing extenders and rocker panel (depending on the finish). The wide wheel arches highlight the wings. The feeling of protection is reinforced by the large self-coloured bumpers.
• New rear quarter panel motifs (shape reminiscent of the design of the Airbump^® bubble panels) underline the graphic consistency of the car and establish its profile.

2. ENHANCED CUSTOMISATION OFFER

97 CUSTOMISATION POSSIBILITIES

More than ever in tune with the times and “Inspired by You", the potential for #C3 customisation increases from 36 to 97 combinations. Everyone can therefore choose a car that suits them.

New #C3 is reinforcing its position as the most customisable saloon in its segment thanks to its:

• 7 body colours: including 2 bright new colours - Elixir Red and Spring Blue - in addition to the colours that are already known (Perla Nera Black, Steel Grey, Platinum Grey, Sand, Banquise White).
• 4 Colour Packs: or coloured inserts including fog lamp and Airbump^® trims The colour Anodised Emerald colour is added to the Black, White and Red.
• 4 roof colours: including 1 new Emerald Blue colour (in addition to Opal White, Onyx Black, Aden Red). Roof colours in accordance with the colour of the wing mirrors and the quarter panel trim.
• 3 roof trims: with the introduction of new graphic themes (Red, Techwood, Emerald) in the form of stickers on the roof capsule and the quarter panel trim.

New Citroën #C3 also has new 16"* and 17"*wheel rims (depending on version) that enhance its character in profile. Two-tone black 16'' HELLIX diamond wheels are available as an option, in addition to the 16'' MATRIX diamond wheels, or 17'' VECTOR diamond alloy wheels.

NEW COLOUR SCHEMES ON BOARD

New C3’s interior has been upgraded and immerses occupants in a real cosy bubble, with its carefully designed dashboard and its Colours and Materials treatment matching the doors or seats for a coherent whole.

New #C3 is available in 2 new optional interior colour schemes.

• Emerald colour scheme: a dynamic world colour scheme playing on the contrast between dark colours and Emerald coloured touches. A technical textile (3D mesh) adorns the upholstery and black TEP covers the dashboard panel. The dashboard surround and coloured fabric strips give an unprecedented and high-quality visual continuity.

• Techwood colour scheme: upscale colour scheme provided by the combination of the elegant "light wood” look of the dashboard and the light-coloured trim on the upper part of the seats.

3. COMFORT AND MODERNITY ON BOARD

A true living space, able to accommodate up to 5 people, the interior of the New #C3 has changed for ever-greater on-board well-being and capitalises on its Citroën Advanced Comfort^® strengths.

COMFORT: BEST IN CLASS SUSPENSIONS

The new saloon is a benchmark in its segment in terms of suspension comfort and acoustic treatment. A synthesis offering a uniquely hushed atmosphere and a typical Citroën signature at the wheel which completely isolates from the world outside.

NEW ADVANCED COMFORT SEATS

To bring comfort into a new dimension, New C3's wide and generous seats have been carefully crafted.

These generous (height-adjustable driver’s seat) provide enhanced comfort both visually and in terms of posture with padding with a graphic effect and lumbar support.

• - Surface-thickened welcoming foam under the fabric (the foam changes from 2 mm to 15 mm) for unrivalled softness.
• Lumbar support at the heart of the seat at the best level for better driving comfort.

In addition, New #C3, listening to its customers, now has an armrest on the driver's side (NEW, available on optional colour schemes).

ON-BOARD PRACTICALITY

Its roominess makes #C3 a benchmark in its segment. The feeling of immediate space is enhanced by the clean lines of the dashboard, the design of the seats, and the particular care taken in the treatment of colours, volumes and materials. Rear-seat legroom is the best in class.

It has smart storage compartments. The clever central storage area that allows a maximum of space at the front of the vehicle is supplemented by a large glove compartment (6.25L).

Finally, #C3 has a generous boot capacity of 300 litres.
