In this review, we are going to take a closer look at the Citroen C3. We will examine the details about the Citroen C3 under three main categories such as The Features of the Citroen C3, The Fuel Consumption of the Citroen C3 and Basic Characteristics of Citroen C3. These categories prepared for explaining the vehicle from any perspective. Before beginning the review, I would like to share some general information about the history of the Citroen C3. The C3 is a Subcompact car manufactured by French automaker Citroen since 2002. The car is one of the important models of Citroen in the Subcompact class with its three generations of history. After the project, which was developed to replace the Citroen Saxo model, it remained in production for many years, achieving greater success than Citroen expected. It still continues to be produced. The car also has a premium variant in the form of DS3.
The Features of the Citroen C3
In this part of the review, we are going to focus on the features of the Citroen C3. We can start with the exterior design of the Citroen C3. Looking at the exterior design of the car, we can say that the design features of the Citroen C3 have changed radically over time and tend to grow. The design of the current generation is more similar to the design of a Crossover SUV than a standard Subcompact car. Built on the PSA PF1 Platform, the car attracts attention with its unusual design details. Especially the Air Bump section on the door, the unusual daytime LEDs at the front and the headlight design can be examples. At the same time, the bright and dynamic colour palette options make the C3 an extremely stylish and attractive car. Now, we are moving on to the interior design of the Citroen C3. When we look at the interior design of the car, a very dynamic and spacious interior design welcomes us. The first detail that catches the eye in general was the use of a rectangular shape with soft edges in many regions. These shapes seem to add a very modern and aesthetic feel to the cabinet. A multimedia screen with a very large and simple design in the middle provides active information flow. In addition, although the colour palette in the cabin varies, dark and light tones are generally used. The design of the steering wheel is very sporty and comfortable to use. Overall, the C3 has all the details a driver could want.
The Fuel Consumption of the Citroen C3
Now, we are going to focus on the fuel consumption of the Citroen C3. We usually work on popular engine types and making analyses on them by checking details for an efficient fuel consumption analysis. While choosing the right car, you need specific and simple information. That is why we are using this distinction method to make things easier for you. We use two main categories to make a useful distinction such as The Most Economical One and The Most Powerful One. Citroen C3 has got two standard engine varieties such as 1.2 and 1.6 HDi. We are going to analyse two of them as the most economical and the most powerful one. However, the 1.6 HDi is the most powerful and economical engine of the C3. So, let's take a detailed look at the 1.6 HDi engine. It has got a four cylindered engine structure with a 1560 cm3 size. It is using a Diesel feed fuel system so we can say that it is a Diesel type engine. It can produce 102 HP and 3500 RPM Torque. According to the official factory data, 1.6 HDi has got a 4,0lt/100km (which refers to 71 MPG in the UK) mpg performance in Urban usage. However, this fuel consumption rate decreasing to 3,0lt/100km (which refers to 94 MPG in the UK) in Extra Urban usage such as Highways or Long-Distance Trip. When we combine these mpg data, we get a 3,0lt/100km (which refers to 94 MPG in the UK) average mpg performance.
