The New Citroen C2 Is In A Class Of Its Own

Replacing the Citroen Saxo the Citroen C2 is designed to fill the need for a sporty and practical 'super-mini'.

With the more expensive C3 satisfying the high end of the super-mini market the C2 has been specifically designed to be a cheaper and more affordable version that is just right for newer drivers or people who do not require the higher levels of power that the C3 has.

With 6 different engine configurations you can buy a C2 to fully fit your needs, from the 1.1 L TU1, the 1.4 L DV4 HDi diesel right to the 1.6 L TU5 VTW. Each delivers exceptional power, making the most of the cars compact size to give you power when you need it most.

With fuel economy ranging from 48.8 miles to the gallon right up to 64.2 miles the C2 has exceptional efficiency, allowing you to drive for longer for less. Combined with CO2 emissions from just 138 g/km to 119 g/km you can ensure that it is also an environmentally minded design, something that is becoming more and more important in today's society.

The C2 also comes with all the safety and security features you would come to expect of such a high quality vehicle. With ABS, EBD and EBA as standard across the range the car will assist you every single time you break, and with advanced stability and turning technologies it will help you to drive smoothly and safely no matter the weather.

With driver and passenger airbags, and a whole host of other safety features, the Citroen C2 has been designed with safety as the top priority. Awarded with a Euro NCAP four star rating for both adults and children you can rest assured it is a safe and reliable family car.

Yet so many car companies are sacrificing design quality, aesthetics and in some cases even safety, for cheaper and cheaper vehicles. While this might be acceptable for some, Citroen prides itself in always creating beautiful looking cars that are expertly designed, yet while still managing to remain competitive in price.

The Citroen C2 colour range is focused around the company's main colour scheme; red, black or silver. Every model in the range chooses from metallic or pearlescent colours; Sport Red metallic, pearlescent Wicked Red, Arctic Steel metallic, Manitoba Grey metallic or Obsidian Black pearlescent. There is even a choice of trim, although the choices are somewhat restricted depending on which model you are purchasing.

In addition the interior is sculpted for comfort, and to maximise space. As such the C2 is surprisingly large on the inside, and with fully adjustable seats and steering wheel you can ensure that you are driving in the most comfortable position for you.

All of these colours, along with its style and design help distinguish the C2 as almost a work of art and design, rather than 'just another family car'. Designed to replicate the Citroen Saxo's features on a newer model, the C2 has ended up far surpassing its original idea. Citroen have created a beautiful and well known and respected car in its own right.

To take advantage of the government's scrappage scheme if you have an old car you will be able to buy a new Citroen from dealerships throughout the UK and Citroen Northern Ireland dealerships to make huge savings.
