My Citroën C3 Collection
Citroen C3 2002 ~ 2005
The Ciroen C3 was launched in Spring 2002 in a variety of engines and trims. Trim Choices were The LX, SX and Exclusive. Petrol Engine choice were a 1.4i 75 BHP in either a 5 speed manual or a 4 speed Automatic, 1.6i 16v 110BHP or a choice of 2 Diesel Engines a 1.4HDi 70BHP or a 1.4HDi 16v 92BHP. Late 2002 Citroen added a new entry model to the range Called The L. The L came with one engine choice which was the petrol 1.1i 60 BHP. The L was aimed for customers on a low budget with its low cost running costs whilst still having Power Steering, Remote Central Locking and Driver and Front Passenger Airbags as Standard. Early 2003 Citroen added as an option Citroen's New Semi Automatic Gearbox The SensoDrive to the 1.6i 16v 110BHP which lowerd co2 to 148 g/km where as the manual is 155 g/km and the Fuel consumption on a combined cycle 45.6mpg compare to the 43mpg in the manual version. March 2003 A new Special Edition was added, The C3 Desire, The Desire was situated between the LX and SX Range and was available with either the 1.4i 75 Petrol Engine or the 1.4HDi 70 Diesel Engine. The Desire looked like a LX but its equipment over the LX was a CD Player and Air Conditioning. Early 2004 came the C3 XTR with its stunning off road looks and a lovely glass sunroof fitted as Standard. Here in the UK the XTR was givin a choice of 2 engines. A New Petrol 1.4i 16v 90BHP with Citroen's SensoDrive Gearbox as standard and a Diesel 1.4HDi 16v 92BHP 5 speed manual. Also in 2004 the 1.4HDi 70BHP was available with the SensoDrive Gearbox as an option and a 1.1i 5 speed manual Petrol was introduced. Also the 1.4i 16v 90BHP SensoDrive was equipped with a New Stop & Start System which turns off the engine when at traffic lights or in a traffic jam and restarts when your foot is taken off th break pedel. This system cuts co2 and gives a better fuel consumption. Late 2004 The C3 Desire had a bit of an update to separate it looks from the LX. It now came with colour coded bumpers and a new interior pattern. The Engine choice was the same accept the 1.1i was also available in Desire Trim Also a Sporty VTR Version was added with the 1.6i 16v 110BHP engine. In 2005 the Diesel 1.4HDi 16v 92BHP was replaced with a new 1.6HDi 16v 92BHP. |

Citroen C3 2005 ~ 2010
Late 2005 Citroen gave the C3 a minor Facelift at the front, Brighter Reverse Lamps at the back and a Complete New Dashboard Layout and some new Interiors and also New Cruise Control with Speed Limiter on Exclusive Models.
The Line up from Launch was the L, Desire SX, Stop & Start, Exclusive, XTR and VTR. One of the Noticeable Changes apart from the car was its engine line up. Firstly the Previous 1.4i 75 Automatic SX was replaced with a 1.6i 16v 110 Automatic SX. Secondly The C3 Exclusive engine choice was cut to just the 1.6i 16v 110 SensoDrive and 1.6HDi 92 Manual , Whereas The VTR got the 1.6i 16v 110 Manual and the 1.6HDi 110 Manual. In 2007 Citroen Replaced The Desire with The Cool which came with new interior pattern and rear head rests. 2008 Citroen made some further changes to the line up, L, Cool, SX, VTR and XTR was Discontinued. The New Line Up consisted of the Vibe, Cachet, Rhythm, Exclusive and Exclusive. The Exclusive was basically the old SX Model with the added Alarm and Moduboard The 1.6i 16v 110 Manual and SensoDrive was discontinued with only the 1.6i 16v 110 being available with the 4 speed automatic, the 1.6HDi 110 was also discontinued. Citroen did how ever start producing the 1.4i 16v with a 5 speed manual, previously this engine could only be specified with the SensoDrive Gearbox. 2009 The last year of this C3 life Citroen gave Exclusive Models the Proper Exclusive Looks and features back and New Trims were added The VT and VTR (Not To Be Confused With The More Sporty VTR This Was A Basic Looking Model) This C3 Production finally came to an end January 2010. |

With a distinctive design, New C3 offers freshness, energy and personality that is unique to the supermini market. The striking new front-end gives a powerful impression of robustness, which continues along the body of the car, with fluid curves and muscular flanks lending vigour and power. New C3 features the two-tier front light signature synonymous with Citroën. Double chrome strips extend from the chevrons and go all the way across to the LED daytime running lights. The protective front bumper blends into the rest of the bodywork to enhance the sense of height and width at the front for a ‘go-anywhere’ look and feel. The fog lights even feature stylish coloured surrounds. In profile, the black windscreen pillars and floating roof accentuate the dynamic outline of New C3. The car’s protective character is evident in the balanced proportions between the body panels and the glazed areas. The horizontal styling features on the sides of the car continue the deliberately high bonnet line, producing a reassuring posture, and the wheel arches are fitted with extensions for a crossover appearance. At the rear, the generously sized, muscular wings give the car a dynamic appearance, an impression accentuated by the very short overhang. The Airbump® panels (air-filled bumps with a scratch-proof surface, as seen on C4 Cactus) are a Citroën signature feature, offering personality and style, as well as protecting the vehicle. The thermoplastic polyurethane material used in the Airbump® panels resists everyday degradation, protecting them from sunlight, water, scratches etc. Each panel positions a line of air-filled bumps at the bottom of the doors to protect the most vulnerable areas of the car in the urban environment. The Airbump® panels also have a white or red graphic motif, depending on the version. The unique, high-tech identity of New C3 continues at the back with 3D rear lights, low level protection to lend everyday robustness and an updated C3 badge – now, the figure 3 appears in black with a chrome surround. Aerodynamically, the roof is 4cm lower than the previous model with every surface designed to optimise airflow. Citroën’s designers drew inspiration from travel and home interior design to create an interior that aims to feel like an extension of the driver’s home. Offering a safe, contemporary and comfortable cabin, New C3’s interior design principles focus on delivering uncluttered space. New C3 is the first model of its type to offer such an extensive and coherent range of personalisation options and two-tone exterior colour schemes. With a total of nine body colours (Polar White, Perla Nera Black, Shark Grey, Arctic Steel, Ruby Red, Almond Green, Cobalt Blue, Power Orange and Soft Sand) and three roof colours (Opal White, Onyx Black and Sport Red), there are a total of 36 possible combinations, giving New C3 a fresh, modern look. The exterior offers a range of two-tone paint options, with the three roof colours accompanied by matching touches around the car (fog lights, door mirrors, rear quarter panels and on the Airbump Panels). The emphasis on well-being starts with the comfortable seats, the panoramic sunroof that fills the car with natural light, and the generous space and storage compartments throughout the cabin. The clutter-free interior delivers a sense of harmony, which is also expressed with the soft and bright textiles used throughout the interior. For physical comfort, there is 2cm more shoulder width than in the previous model and the shape and position of the front seats provides optimum forward visibility for the rear passengers. New C3 offers a hassle-free user experience, with easy, intuitive access to all main the vehicle functions. Under the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme, New C3 promises great everyday practicality, usability and spaciousness. The designers paid special attention to the car’s storage and stowage spaces. For example, there is an ingenious central cubby that maximises the free space at the front of the vehicle, along with large storage bins in the front doors and the largest glove box in the segment – all to deliver optimum functionality without compromising the simplicity of the interior. The New Citroën C3’s boot volume is also impressive at 300 litres. A pleasant driving experience calls for an intuitive, interactive and responsive interface between the car and the driver, which New C3 offers through its 7-inch touchscreen. Acting as a vehicle control panel, this provides quick and easy access to all of the vehicle’s main functions and makes for an uncluttered dashboard. Convenience continues with the car’s keyless entry and start system, which means the driver can lock or unlock and start the car without needing to take the key out of their pocket or bag. ConnectedCAM Citroën The ConnectedCAM Citroën™ is making its first appearance in New C3. It is a connected camera (wide 120° angle, full HD, 2 million pixels) with GPS and a 16GB internal memory. Positioned just behind the rear-view mirror, it records what the driver sees for two main purposes; 1. The driver can click a button to safely take photos as keepsakes or for instant sharing on social media. A longer press of the button captures video for up to 20 seconds, which can then be shared once the car is stationary. Stored content is directly accessible via the ConnectedCAM Citroën™ free app. 2. In the event of a vehicle collision, the video system switches on automatically. The video can run for up to 1½ minutes (30 seconds before and 60 after the incident). This footage can be useful as evidence following an accident. With the ConnectedCAM Citroën™, a driver can also locate their vehicle and store its position to ensure they can find it in unfamiliar or busy places. The PSA Group platform was optimised for this new model, to deliver an excellent external footprint/interior space ratio, and superb levels of comfort and efficiency. For comfort, an advanced suspension system was used, based on a proven architecture (pseudo Macpherson suspension with deformable struts). This effectively filters out road surface irregularities – a typical Citroën suspension characteristic. Soundproofing is impressive too, as is safety, with features such as a new ‘H’ crossbar under the seats, for the best possible impact protection. New C3 comes with a choice of latest-generation, highly efficient PureTech petrol and BlueHDi Diesel engines. There is a choice of three PureTech three-cylinder petrol engines, with manual transmission: PureTech 68, 82 and 110 (Stop & Start), and two manual Diesel powertrains: BlueHDi 75 (Stop & Start) and 100 (Stop & Start). For the ultimate in driveability and comfort, New C3 also adds the option of the brand’s EAT6 fully automatic gearbox. New C3 is packed with useful driving aids and safety technologies to enhance the journey and improve the driving experience. Driving Aids

2020 Restyle
Citroen C3 supermini receives a mild facelift for 2020 with additional personalisation options
The Citroen C3 supermini has been refreshed for 2020 with tweaked exterior styling, additional colour and alloy wheel options and an updated interior. It goes on sale in April, with first customer deliveries in June. Prices have not yet been announced, but we’d expect a small increase in starting price across the range. The revised C3 features a series of minor styling tweaks, while still maintaining the quirky looks of the original car. The restyled bonnet and front grille are more angular, chrome LED accents have been added to the lower section of the grille, and new LED headlights are now standard fit on every C3 model. The front and rear bumpers feature new black plastic cladding, as do the wheel arch extensions. Revised Citroen ‘Airbump’ rubbing strips feature on the lower front and rear doors, along with redesigned rear quarter panels at the back of the car. Citroen has added a number of new personalisation options for the updated C3, with the addition of new ‘Elixir Red’ and ‘Spring Blue’ paint colours. There are also four additional colour packs, alongside four new contrasting roof colours and a new 17-inch alloy wheel design in black and silver. The inside gets plusher Advanced Comfort seats taken from the C4 Cactus and a new ‘Techwood’ trim option, which adds faux-wood accents to the interior. The revised Citroen C3 will retain its engine and gearbox range from the current car, so there will be the same Puretech petrol and BlueHDI diesel choices. Similarly, the chassis of the C3 remains unchanged. Technology updates are limited to the addition of front parking sensors. Elsewhere, features such as the front-facing dashcam, sat nav, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity are all carried over for the 2020 model. |
