A new Citroen C1
A funky city car that's fun to drive and affordable
You can't help but notice this slick little city car. As well as smart French styling and compact size, it's economical to run and surprisingly nifty to drive.
Citroen C1
It’s no wonder the C1 is so popular with young drivers – it’s compact, smart and funky and easy on the pocket!
If you’re after a classy little car that doesn’t compromise on driveability, the Citroen C1 could be the one for you. The best news? You can secure a new Citroen C1 with a £500 deposit and we’ll pay towards your first year’s insurance. You can use this to buy insurance from a provider of your choice (of course, we’d love it if you chose our black box insurance, but we don’t tie you in!)
Reasons to love the Citroen C1
An upbeat sprightly drive
Available in 1litre, or the livelier 1.2 litre engine, the Citroen C1 is an enjoyable drive that loves nothing better than a spin around town. The light steering makes it a breeze to navigate city streets and parking in tight spaces a doddle.
Chic and cheerful
There’s no denying the Citroen C1 is a smart little car. The styling, inside and out, is fresh and fun and there’s plenty of choice in colour options. The C1 feels surprisingly roomy up front but it does lack some space in the rear seat and boot; your mates may get a bit fidgety on longer journeys!
There’s a smart connecting box Bluetooth and USB set up on some models, a nice 7-inch colour touchscreen on the mid-range Feel model and alloys, and reversing camera on the top price Flair model. All models can have keyless entry and keyless start.
Strong on safety
Euro NCAP gave this car a solid four out of five stars for safety with an 80% occupancy rating for adults and child protection.
There’s also hill-start assistance so you’ll avoid any awkward reverse hill slippage. The security kit includes an immobiliser and central locking.
Economical and environmental
The stop/start technology helps to keep CO2 emissions down to only 88/km and this gives you a decent fuel economy of 74.3mpg.
You’ll need to get this car serviced every 15,500 miles or 12 months (whichever comes first), but servicing costs are reasonable and shouldn’t break the bank.
Happily, Insurance costs are also low, falling into group 6 for the 1.0 litre car or group 12 for the 1.2 litre.
