Citroën has completely renewed its best-selling C3 model, which sold more than 3.6 million units since it was originally launched in 2002. The new model is set to shake up the supermini market with its highly customisable character and the latest automotive technologies, including a world premiere for ConnectedCAM Citroën, an on-board HD camera that allows drivers to share their road-trip photos and videos directly with friends and family.
The 2016 C3 is everything expected of a modern Citroën – colourful, stylish, brimming with new technologies, supremely comfortable and with a bold, fun-loving personality. The car is highly customisable, too, allowing each owner to create a bespoke look that suits his/her individual style.
The exterior has a two-tone paint option, with a choice of three roof colours and complementary touches of colour around the car (foglights, door mirrors, rear quarter panels and on the Airbump panels). Inside the cabin, customers have a choice of four different interiors that all deliver a spacious yet intimate feel, thanks to an uncluttered dashboard and the shape of the seats.
Citroen’s Advanced Comfort programme influenced the creation of the all-new C3. Comfortable seats, a panoramic glass sunroof that fills the cabin with light, colours and fabrics inspired by travel and home interior design, a 7-inch touchscreen that groups together all of the key vehicle functions and a keyless entry and start system – all these combine to emphasise a feeling of reassurance, comfort and calm.
ConnectedCAM Citroën uses a fully integrated camera, located behind the rear view mirror, to capture images and video that can instantly be shared on social media channels, or saved/submitted as evidence in the event of an accident.
Other options that improve the driving experience include an advanced driver assistance package with voice-controlled 3D navigation, a reversing camera, lane departure warning and blind-spot monitoring.
Finally, the efficient, high-performance powertrain options continue the technological theme with PureTech petrol and BlueHDi turbo-diesel engines, along with the latest-generation EAT6 fully automatic gearbox. 
The design of the new C3 was inspired by the C4 Cactus.
