Citroën C2

AN UNCOMPROMISING TOURER

With the same platform as the C3 and C3 Pluriel, in a 2.31 m wheelbase version, the C2 boasts excellent road handling.

DRIVING COMFORT: C2 AND C3 ARE ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH

Like the C3, the C2 offers a range of comfort equipment usually reserved for segments further up the market, for example:

• a steering wheel adjustable for height and reach,
• a height-adjustable driver’s seat,
• an onboard computer,
• cruise control,
• automatic illumination of lights,
• automatic activation of wipers,
• excess speed warning.

A PLATFORM ADAPTED TO THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE C2

A range comprising three petrol engines and one diesel

The range comprises three petrol engines and one diesel HDi engine.
• The entry-level 1.1i engine develops 44.1 kW (61 bhp) at 5,500 rpm with torque of 94 Nm at 3,200 rpm.
• The 1.4i engine develops 54 kW (75 bhp) at 5,400 rpm with torque of 118 Nm at 3,300 rpm.
• The 1.6i 16V unit is the most powerful engine in the range, developing 80 kW (110 bhp) at 5,750 rpm with maximum torque of 147 Nm at 4,000 rpm.
• The diesel offering comprises the 1.4 HDi engine developing 50 kW (70 bhp) at 4,000 rpm for torque of 150 Nm at 1,750 rpm. Particularly quiet and economical, this second-generation HDi common-rail engine also offers an excellent level of performance for an engine of this capacity.

The market launch of the C2 is an opportunity to extend the use of the SensoDrive gearbox to the 1.4i engine, alongside the 1.6i 16V engine. The SensoDrive is a robotised manual gearbox with two modes of use: manual and automatic. The driver can choose either automatic, by a button on the central console, or manual, using the paddles behind the wheel or the manual gear lever.

Running gear, brakes, ABS, ESP…

The running gear is similar to that of the C3, but it has been adapted to the new characteristics of the C2, including weight and aerodynamics. The C2 also offers a high level of active safety equipment including ABS with electronic brakeforce assistance, emergency braking assistance, automatic illumination of hazard warning lights, ESP and traction control. The driver can therefore undertake long journeys with complete peace of mind. The wheel size ranges between 14 and 16 inches, depending on the engine and the level of trim.
