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.

Citroen continues its partnership with the Westfield Shopping Centre with the public launch of the All-New Citroen C3 Supermini.

The New Citroën C3 has made its UK debut at Westfield Stratford City shopping centre in East London. 

The new Citroën pop-up stand – open to the public since the beginning of October 2016 – is a key part of Citroën’s 15-month partnership with Westfield Stratford, which aims to showcase the brand’s bold and spirited personality, including the very latest automotive technologies and the UK premiere for New C3 and ConnectedCAM Citroën™.

As part of a 15-month partnership with Westfield Stratford City, the New Citroën C3 and its innovative ConnectedCAM Citroën™ is being showcased – for the first time in the UK – at the London shopping centre.

New Citroën C3 is a fresh, bold and colourful 5-door supermini that delivers new levels of advanced comfort and personality to its sector. Adding to an extensive and coherent range of personalisation options, the Airbump® panels are a feature unique to Citroën, offering protection as well as style.

The stand will see the UK premiere of ConnectedCAM Citroën™, which is uniquely available on New Citroën C3. The on-board HD camera allows customers to take photos and videos, and to share on social media.

The Citroën stand design is a reflection of the brand’s ‘La Maison’ boutique showcase, as seen at the Paris Motor Show. Immediately recognisable, the stand highlights the marque’s strong personality and includes an area dedicated to comfort, inspired by the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme.

The display area will host a range of events and activities for customers, the first of which is dedicated entirely to New C3 until the New Year. Customers also have the opportunity to explore their favourite Citroën from any point in history using an interactive screen.

Citroën’s partnership with Westfield Stratford City was inaugurated by the brand’s takeover of the link bridge in September 2016. One of the largest display installations in the UK to date, the artwork on the bridge highlighted Citroën’s most important historic moments, popular models and new arrivals to the range.

“The Citroën stand is a fantastic opportunity for us to premiere New C3 in the UK and showcase the latest technological advancements, such as the revolutionary ConnectedCAM Citroën ™ and the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme. Our stand at Westfield Stratford City, which is part of our  15-month partnership, enables us to meet our customers and to allow them to explore our brand universe.”

Chris Cheetham, Marketing Director, Citroën UK

“Westfield is very proud to partner with global brand Citroën in the first of what will be a series of events, installations and UK-first customer experiences.”

Paul Buttigieg, Director of Shopping Centre Management, Westfield Europe

To further celebrate the 15-month residency at Westfield Stratford City, Citroën has supplied a C4 Cactus and a Berlingo Electric van, which have been specially modified to serve as in-centre fire vehicles, allowing an even quicker response time and enhanced access in the case of an emergency.  The Citroën Berlingo Electric combines the functionality of the Berlingo van – exceptional load volume from 3.3m³, load length of 1.8m and payload of up to 636kg – with a fully electric drive train. It’s amazingly affordable to run with average fuel costs of just 2-3p per mile.
