Colin-on-Cars – New Citroen C3 launched

Citroën has launched two variants of the new C3 for the South African market, this third generation now featuring the distinctive Airbump side bolsters first seen on the Cactus.

Six exterior colours will make C3 stand out and it can be jazzed up further by choosing from Onyx Black or Opal White contrasting roof colours.

The small city car has a number of revisions, notably noise-cancelling upgrades inside the cabin and advanced Comfort seats.

Safety features include anti-lock braking, EBA, EBD, TCS and ESP, while Speed Limit Recognition and Recommendation reads speed limit signs and communicates them via the driver’s display, while the Cruise Control also monitors speed limits and recommends speed changes accordingly.

Under the hood of the C3 Feel, is a 60 kW, 1.2 PureTech engine, while the C3 Shineis a step up with 81 kW and a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Above and beyond the Feel, it also come with 16-inch Alloy Wheels, Auto Wipers, Rear Parking Sensors and the added twist of bi-tone body colour options.

In addition it has a 7-inch Touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple Carplay and Auto Dim Rear-view Mirrors.
