VERSATILITY

ROOM FOR INDIVIDUALS

The rst nice surprise when you get into a Citroën C3 Pluriel is just how spacious it is – a

true 4-seater, but that’s just the start. Is it to be the panoramic saloon today or the cabriolet?

Or perhaps the full on fresh air spider? Who cares, you can change your mind because the

Citroën C3 Pluriel is happy to change with you.

BE FREE, BE SAFE

Citroën C3 Pluriel is packed with active and passive safety features. Complementing its

responsive, sure-footed handling is ABS with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and

Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA). Then there’s accurate, speed sensitive power steering

and automatic hazard warning lights that activate when the car decelerates suddenly.

A reinforced body shell, protective roof arches and four airbags surround you should the

worst happen.

SENSATIONAL SENSODRIVE

It feels good to relax and let an automatic do the gear shifting… but then it’s great

to get involved and make ngertip gear selections with a manual. Well forget the

either/or, because with Citroën C3 Pluriel 1.6i 16V, there’s no dilemma. The

SensoDrive paddle shift, ve speed sequential gearbox brings both. So whether

you’re in the urban stop and start or out on the open road, you’ve always got the

perfect change – versatility in a box? Oh yes.

CITROËN

ENVIRONMENTAL

COMMITMENT

INTRODUCING A MORE

ECOLOGICAL CAR

The Citroën C-Cactus concept, a car

designed on ec

ological principles. It includes

a signicant proportion of recycled or

recyclable materials and, like the plant

it is named after, it is low on liquid

consumption. At the same time, Citroën

C-Cactus is designed to be no more

expensive than a mid-range family car.

This can be attributed to the use of new

materials and to a rational design process

using a smaller number of parts. Citroën

C-Cactus is an essential vehicle reecting a

new vision of the car, many of its thoughts

and themes will appear in modern Citroën

vehicles to come.

AIRDREAM - A BENCHMARK

When it comes to the environment we

wanted to show our genuine commitment

as well as our profound expertise, so we

have devised a benchmarking scheme

with the signature ‘Airdream’ reserved

exclusively for the cleanest vehicles in our

range. To qualify for the Airdream signature,

vehicles must meet three standards:

1. a) CO2 emissions of 120g/km or less

b) tted with DPFS with CO

below 158g/km.

2. Manufacturing quality of ISO14001.

3. 95% of recoverable materials.

GREEN EFFICIENCY. CITROËN HAS BEEN PIONEERING CLEANER, MORE

FUEL-EFFICIENT MOTORING, SUCH AS THE COMMON RAIL HDi ENGINES

NOW FITTED IN ALL NEW CITROËN DIESELS, LONG BEFORE ALL THE HYPE...

CITROËN HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT THE FOREFRONT OF GREENER TECHNOLOGY AND THE CITROËN C3 PLURIEL

IS NO EXCEPTION. TODAY, WE HAVE ONE OF THE UK’S WIDEST RANGES OF LOW EMISSION VEHICLES – THREE

OF WHICH ARE IN THE TOP FOUR FOR LOW CO2 AND FUEL-EFFICIENCY. WE ALSO PRODUCE THE UK’S MOST

ECONOMICAL LIGHT COMMERCIAL VEHICLE, THE CITROËN NEMO VAN.

...AND FOR BUSINESS USERS

CITROËN

C3 PLURIEL

CARE, FINANCE

& INSURANCE

HIGH-PRESSURE DIRECT

INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE

Our HDi diesel engines operate with the fuel under

extremely high pressure, enabling microscopically precise

injection control. With this level of management it’s possible

to inject at different times during the same engine stroke

allowing total control over the combustion process. This

has allowed our engineers to reduce carbon monoxide

emissions by 40%, unburned hydrocarbons by 50% and

engine particulates by 60%. Fuel consumption is 20%

lower than a prechamber diesel engine, resulting in an

equivalent reduction in CO2 emissions and thanks to the

torque available at low engine speed it could be argued that

driveability is now better than in petrol engined cars.

SENSODRIVE

A revolutionary alternative to conventional gearboxes,

Citroën’s innovative SensoDrive allows you to operate

in either ‘manual’ or ‘automatic’ modes. ‘Manual’ gear

shifts are made using the paddles by the steering wheel,

or the sequential lever. In ‘automatic’ mode the gearbox

will control gear changes for you, maximising your drive

comfort and optimising fuel consumption – to the order of

3 to 5% lower than a conventional manual gearbox, also

helped by a sixth gear.

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING

SYSTEM (ABS)

Computer-controlled braking assistance designed to

prevent the wheels from locking under extreme braking.

This enables the car to continue being steered and

therefore controlled during this braking incident. Citroën

C3 Pluriel’s ABS system is further enhanced with EBA and

EBD (see below).

EMERGENCY BRAKING

ASSISTANCE (EBA)

As drivers we nd it difcult to instinctively brake very hard,

but this is often what is needed in those rare emergency

situations. The EBA system recognises our ‘attempt’

to brake hard and in combination with the ABS and

EBD systems instantly applies the maximum stopping

power possible.

ELECTRONIC BRAKEFORCE

DISTRIBUTION (EBD)

A conventional ABS system cannot account for any of the

four wheels wanting to lock more quickly than the others

(for example, two of the wheels may be on snow and two

on tarmac). EBD reads the deceleration rate of each wheel

individually and applies the ABS principles accordingly.

ISOFIX

A standardised and more simple method for installing

child seats, each seat is ‘clicked’ into place via a three

point system. On Citroën C3 Pluriel, Isox is installed on

the two rear seats.

ON-BOARD TRIP COMPUTER

Citroën C3 Pluriel’s multi-function on-board trip computer

provides you with information at your ngertips. At the

touch of a button you can view a range of data like fuel

consumption, average speed and mileage possible at your

current fuel level.
