Six months since launch and the Citroen C3 has hit 10,000 sales already.

New Citroën C3 has just passed an important milestone, having achieved an impressive 10,000 sales in the first six months since its official launch in the UK. 

New C3 is officially Citroën’s top-selling model in the UK once again. The new B-segment supermini was released for sale in Britain on Tuesday 3 January 2017.

In its first six months, New Citroën C3 has already sold 10,000 units in the UK, making it Citroën’s top-selling model in the country. In all markets combined, almost 160,000 sales have now been recorded for this new model. 

The appeal of this latest Citroën is confirmed by the number of influential awards already received for the car (over 25 globally) and an overall client rating of 4.7 stars (out of 5) on Citroën Advisor.

This exceptional performance confirms the outstanding appeal of New C3, along with impressive UK results such as;

• Over 60% of sales in the top-end Flair trim (with ConnectedCAM Citroën™ as standard)
• Over 95% of sales with a two-tone (body/roof) paint finish
• Over 64% of cars sold with Airbump® panels

The striking supermini was named ‘Best Urbanite’ in BBC TopGear magazine’s ‘Best Cars in the World’ edition even before the car’s official launch. New Citroën C3 was also ‘Commended’ last month in the Auto Express New Car Awards 2017. The car was recognised for its ‘fashionable’ looks and ‘calming’ interior, making it perfect for city life.

With the debut of ConnectedCAM Citroën™ – the world’s first built-in dashcam – New C3 allows the driver and front passenger to safely take photos or videos that can be instantly shared via social media using a free app. It also operates as a conventional dashcam in the event of an on-road incident.

The high-performance powertrain options are efficient and economical with PureTech petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines, and the latest generation EAT6 fully automatic gearbox available as part of the range.

New C3 delivers class-leading passenger comfort and a highly customisable character, offering 36 different exterior colour combinations. With a distinctive design, the large panoramic sunroof floods the spacious cabin with natural light while the comfortable seats, inspired by the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme, promote well-being and emphasise a feeling of reassurance, comfort and calm.

BBC TopGear Magazine awards the All-New Citroen C3 Supermini the Best Urbanite of the year.

New Citroën C3 has been awarded the title ‘Best Urbanite’ in BBC TopGear Magazine’s latest ‘Best Cars in the World’ issue, which is on sale now. The BBC TopGear judges were impressed by the model’s ‘fashionable’ looks and ‘calming’ interior that makes it perfect for city life.

New Citroën C3 has been honoured with the ‘Best Urbanite’ award in BBC TopGear Magazine’s ‘Best Cars in the World’ issue.

Commended for its striking appearance and personalisation options, New Citroën C3 won over the BBC TopGear Magazine judges thanks to its levels of comfort, advanced technologies and its ability to ‘pirouette’ in and out of tight urban spaces.

The fun, French supermini premieres the world’s first fully integrated HD dashcam, which is located just behind the rear-view mirror. 

ConnectedCAM Citroën™ enables the driver to safely take pictures, record videos and to share them instantly on social media channels, or to use the automatic video function to provide evidence in the event of an accident.

New Citroën C3 is the latest model to benefit from the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme. The visibly comfortable seats, the amount of light from the panoramic glass sunroof, the 7-inch touchscreen – which groups together all of the key vehicle functions – and the keyless entry and start system, all combine to emphasise a feeling of reassurance, comfort and well-being.

As well as offering an extensive and coherent range of personalisation options, and two-tone exterior colour schemes, the Airbump® panels are an instantly recognisable option.

New Citroën C3 is also fitted with a choice of efficient powertrains, offering both award-winning PureTech petrol engines and exceptionally economical BlueHDi diesel engines.

“The city is where we’re seen. So we want a car that dresses us well, and has some sense of place. This little Citroën is right for town. It’s modern – modish, even, in its details – but because of its simplicity and balanced proportions, it’s probably timeless too.” Paul Horrell, BBC Top Gear Magazine.

Chris Cheetham, Citroën UK’s Marketing Director, said: “We’re very proud that New Citroën C3 has been recognised with such a prestigious award. New C3 stands out in a competitive market as a visually striking model that combines comfort and practicality, making it the ideal choice for anyone living or working in the city.”
