Citroën has opened orders for its new B-segment hatchback, starting from €23,400
for both entry petrol and electric models. Pre-orders are now open for 251-
registration at dealerships nationwide.
Externally. At the front, the taller, more vertical face incorporates a large new oval
‘chevron’ logo sitting centrally and reinforced on each side by gloss black horizontal
grilles. New design of front and rear lights, plus new signature taillight clusters
C3 Dimensions
On the outside, the C3 is 19mm longer and 103mm higher than the outgoing model,
the 2024 C3 is 4.01m in length, 1755mm in width, with a height of 1.57m, with
ground clearance increased from 135mm on the previous C3 to 197mm.
Inside, there is more legroom, headroom, and elbow room for added comfort.
Seating is raised by 76mm compared to the current version. boot space increases by
10 litres to reach 310 litres.
The new C3 adopts progressive hydraulic cushion suspension. The suspension will
arrive as standard on all C3 versions and provide occupants with famed Citroen
comfort. Citroën Advanced Comfort seats of the new C3 also provide gains in terms
of ergonomics and postural comfort. Their design has been upgraded for the new
2024 C3 to be more enveloping and provide better lateral support. They use an
additional 10mm of foam to offer a feeling of softness and comfort from the first
contact, ensuring good support regardless of the distance travelled.
The front of the cabin is designed to be simple, warm, and ergonomic to reduce
mental load and provide a feeling of serenity. This is achieved via a very minimalist
horizontal dashboard to enhance the impression of width. Light and airy, it frees up
space for the driver and passenger.
New Citroën Head-Up Display
The absence of a traditional instrument cluster is a real novelty for the upper level of
the dashboard. The new C3 uses, for the first time, a new Citroën Head-Up Display,
reflecting vehicle information on a glossy black surface located between the top of
the dashboard and the bottom of the windshield. This ensures no duplication of
information, as traditionally seen between a head-up display and an instrument
cluster, allowing the driver to easily access all key information needed without
taking their eyes off the road.
