CITROEN C1 · photos, packages and modifications

When you consider about the mechanical techniques used in the Citroen C1, they are normally similar to the techniques of Toyota Aygo and the Peugeot 107. This model was able to give competition against the set of rivals because of the efficient updates to the design, price-tags and engine, as of 2012. All the manual-equipped models of this car have been designed along with the CO2 emissions under 100g/km and also to match the price with Volkswagen up. The driving experience with this car can be better towards the city environments and it has entertaining design as elegant one, both inside and the outside. Even though you are riding on the difficult streets, it would probably become as an easy one because of the soft ride and light controls.

In early 2012, there was a change with the refreshment of light that made C1sharpen up with the ageing style. Compared to other cars in the range of Citroen, Citroen C1 added with the front end as freshened up one and LE D daytime running lights, which made it to come forward. Even though the price and quirky interior of the car is treated as the most interesting one compared to other cars, it is necessary to make improvements with the quality of the material used.

The Citroen C1 model is designed in such a way to produce 67bhp, with the three-cylinder 1.0 liter petrol engine. When you consider about the engine, it is not even powerful and quick one, but it urges you to hold on to each of the gears because of the characterful engine by making thrum. Compared to other small cars, it makes driving on the rough streets as the best and comfortable one because of the nice suspension. It probably produces road noise and lots of wind on the motorway, in the case of high-speed refinement that is treated as an issue with this model.

Even though you can get ABS and ESP in all Citroen C1 models, the number of airbags that you get would depend on the money that you spend. The passenger and driver airbags are available in all the models and side airbags will be available in more expensive VTR+ trim levels. At the end of 2012, C1 re-tested by Euro NCAP along with its Toyota and Peugeot siblings, which resulted in the downgrading of them by three stars in the crash safety. Because of this reason, today most of the small Citroen models are designed in order to get back the class through the occupant protection, in order to conquer with the modern competition. There were no major problems arise with the C1 model and it was very reliable because of the co-development with Toyota it made.

The Citroen C1 is practically providing you the facilities depend on the trim level. If you select the car with trim level as VT version, then you would probably get the expandable boot space that is capable of 139 liter to 7551 liter and with folding rear bench seat. In the case of VTR+ trim level, you can get the split-folding rear bench option, which makes to seat a passenger in the rear even though other seat is folded down and hence you can get boot space to keep longer items. When you consider about the C1, it is perfect for rough streets and the baby Citroen is ideally one for parking and three-point turns with the impressive turning circles.
