Citroen’s new Fiesta challenger is shaping up nicely – just ‘C’ for yourself! These are the first spy shots of the new C3, which will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
Aiming to take the supermini market by storm the new small car gets a curvy body that takes some of its inspiration, especially the headlights and trapezoidal grille, from the stylish DS3 – Citroen’s upmarket MINI rival, and a car that boasts the same all-new front-wheel drive platform.
However, look carefully at the top of the windscreen and you’ll see that the C3 boasts a very distinctive detail that’s sure to set it apart from the DS3 and any of its rivals. It boasts a glass roof, which stretches from the windscreen all the way over the rear passengers’ heads to the top of the tailgate!
Together with the dramatically curved roofline, the new family car is sure to stand out. Inside, expect a cabin that borrows its layout from the DS3 with a central swathe of contrasting plastic, recessed dials in the instrument binnacle and a neat centre console with digital displays for the climate control system.
Under the bonnet, expect a wide range of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines, along with stop-start and the option of a semi-automatic transmission in addition to a standard manual.
As well as the five-door version shown here there will also be a three-door model too, badged C2. We’ll learn more about the newcomer with official pictures of he model in two weeks time. For more details click here.
