The 3rd generation Citroen C3 first launched in 2016 and the facelift which was launched earlier this year is something special.
Small cars are not a favourite for many people, but this one is different. Not only does its engine perform well, the car looks absolutely great.
Remember, statistics show that good looks play a major role in getting people to buy your car.
Actually, many people don’t think performance but appearance when deciding on a car to buy.
So that unique new front-end identity design with small eyes (LED headlights) gets the job done. C3 is a small car with a huge impact and class. SunWheels was behind the wheels of a black one with a white roof, and you can’t go wrong with that colour. But the six-colour option including Onyx Black or Opal White will leave you spoiled for choice.
Driving this car you feel completely at peace behind the wheel as upgrades have suppressed the noise and offer the best comfort.
You also have the driver warning which helps to keep your driving abilities on check, a coffee break alert came handy as we made sure we put the C3 on a long test, and it did not let us down. If you have been driving for a bit too long, the car tells you: “Bro, you need a break.” The C3 also boasts features including ABS, EBA, EBD, ESP which are all highly recommended when it comes to your safety. Beauty without performance is like a beauty without brains. The C3 Shine engine with a powerful 81kW paired with a 6-speed automatic gearbox offers satisfactory performance when you ask for it.
The 16-inch alloy wheels also perform wonders in terms of stabilising the car. The one-step down sibling model C3 Feel engine comes with a feisty 60kW, 1,2 PureTech engine.
