Citroën C3 PLURIEL INSPIRED VERSATILITY

FIVE-INTO-ONE VERSATILITY. UNDILUTED FUN, AMAZING PRACTICALITY, EFFORTLESS STYLE, REASSURING SAFETY, INGENIOUS VERSATILITY... IT’S THE UNIQUE FORMULA FOR THE CITROËN C3 PLURIEL THAT CREATES FIVE CARS IN ONE. AND THE CLOSER YOU LOOK, THE MORE IT ADDS UP.

ROOM FOR INDIVIDUALS The first 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.

Citroën C3 PLURIEL INSPIRED VERSATILITY

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 fingertip 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, five 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.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT

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.

INTRODUCING A MORE ECOLOGICAL CAr The Citroën C-Cactus concept, a car designed on ecological principles. It includes a significant 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 reflecting 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) fitted with DPFS with CO2 below 158g/km. 2. Manufacturing quality of ISO14001. 3. 95% of recoverable materials.

Citroën C3 PLURIEL GLOSSARY

HIGH-PRESSURE DIRECT INJECTION DIESEL ENGINE

ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS)

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.

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).

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.

14

EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSISTANCE (EBA) As drivers we find it difficult 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, Isofix 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 fingertips. 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.
