What France has presented to the world - the country-producer "Citroen S3"

Recently, a well-known European manufacturer presented to the public its new city car called "C3 Citroen". The producing country (France) plans to conquer new markets, relying on the modern design of the novelty, its good technical characteristics and reasonable price. Also, according to the company, the hatchback changed the finishing materials to better ones. But whether it will be possible to achieve its goal, we will learn a little later, but for now we will take a closer look at the typewriter and find out what its producer country wants to win the world market .

Citroën C3: Design Review

If you look at the external appearance of the novelty, you can see that the main changes have been experienced by the front of the car. Front hatchback has a new shock bumper, inside it the manufacturer has provided a place for LED headlamps, which are called "running lights". Fogs are also present here - they are located just below. The grille of the radiator has also changed its design and has become more voluminous. And this is not all the innovations that the Citroën C3 country wants to conquer. Moldings on the side of the car are trimmed mainly with chrome, and from below you can see small light reflectors that signal to drivers about the appearance of a counter car in the dark.

Specifications

The country-manufacturer "Citroen C3" decided to make an emphasis on economy and environmental friendliness, completely replacing the 4-cylinder engine line with a three-cylinder engine. From now on, the basic motor is the 68-strong unit with a working volume of 1000 cubic centimeters. Such a motor really was economical - for 100 kilometers it consumes about 4.3 liters of gasoline. The average is 1.2-liter engine, peak power is 82 horsepower. With this unit, the novelty consumes slightly more (4.5 liters) of gasoline per 100 kilometers of run. The top-end engine with a capacity of 120 "horses" and a volume of 1500 "cubes" consumes no more than 6.5 liters of fuel per hundred. By the way, the last engine is not included in the list of 3-cylinder - it was borrowed from the 208th Peugeot and will be available both on the Russian and European markets. Also, the company has 3 diesel units, but they will not be delivered to Russia. All motors are aggregated either with a 4-step "automatic" or with a 5-speed manual gearbox. But not the fact that the first option will survive until next year. In the future, the company plans to replace it with a more progressive 5-inch automatic transmission.

Price policy

Country of production "Citroen C3" decided not to overestimate the value of its novelty. So, restyling variant of a hatchback will rise in price only for 15 000 rubles and will cost about 500 thousand. As for the most expensive equipment, it will cost customers 635 thousand rubles, but this is not the budget value. Approximately at the same price, a similar small car called Citroën C4 is proposed, whose manufacturing country also intends to conquer the entire world market.
