Citroen Motors Ireland has just announced the arrival of the freshly restyled C1 to the Irish market. Available in two specifications, both powered by the same 1.0-litre 68hp petrol engine, the C1 is available now from €10,150 for the entry level three-door VT version rising to €12,000 for the range topping VTR in five-door guise. To celebrate the new car's launch Citroen is offering the three-door VT for €8,995, a saving of €1,155.
With standard equipment on the VTR model including daytime-running LEDs, rear head restraints, front lateral airbags, body colour door mirrors and door handles as standard Citroen is hoping the C1 will appeal to a wide range of drivers. With an engine that can return 4.3 litres/100km and CO2 emissions of 99g/km it would seem to have a lot going for it.
Available options on the C1 include tinted rear windows, front fog lights, 14-inch 'Rift' alloy wheels and a Connecting Box incorporating Bluetooth connectivity and a USB socket. Finance is also available on the C1 with an interest rate of 4.9% provided by Citroen Financial Services.
