  • Citroën Berlingo Van topped the sales charts for compact vans in the UK during the first half of 2023.
  • Citroën Berlingo Van is available with both electric and diesel powertrains, and in various configurations.
  • Citroën offers fully electric options across its entire commercial vehicle lineup, including Citroën My Ami Cargo, ë-Berlingo, ë-Dispatch, and ë-Relay.

 

According to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT), Citroën Berlingo Van has once again claimed the top spot as the best-selling small van in the UK.

 

Since the beginning of the year, a total of 9,916 Berlingo Vans have been registered in the UK.

CITROËN WINS SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVE PRIZE AT AUTO TRADER NEW CAR AWARDS 2023

  • Citroën has been awarded the Sustainability Initiative prize at the 7th annual Auto Trader New Car Awards.
  • The Sustainability Initiative category is judged by independent experts from the Carbon Literacy Project.
  • The judges praised Citroën’s commitment to sustainability, which includes educating its staff on sustainability and environmental issues and ensuring sustainability is incorporated into business decisions.

Citroën has been named the winner of the Sustainability Initiative category at the Auto Trader New Car Awards 2023. The judges commended Citroën’s active involvement in the Carbon Literacy Project, as well as the innovative Ami 100% Electric quadricycle and Oli concept vehicle.

The Oli concept vehicle, introduced by Citroën last year, is made from 100% recycled materials and features a 40kWh battery with a range of 248 miles (WLTP). Oli’s parts can be reused and recycled throughout its lifespan. The seats are constructed simply and use 80% fewer parts than usual. The body panels are made from an innovative corrugated honeycomb recycled cardboard reinforced with polyurethane resin, making them as strong as conventional panels but 50% lighter. The development of Oli focused on simplicity and reduced weight, resulting in a smaller battery and fewer resources required to travel the same distance.

The Citroën Ami 100% Electric is a modern mobility solution and a sustainable response to environmental challenges in cities. The Ami 100% Electric produces zero emissions and has a 5.5kWh battery that can be fully charged in just four hours, providing a range of up to 46 miles (WLTP). There is also the option of the My Ami Cargo, which has a payload of up to 140kg, a maximum load capacity of 400 litres, and a tight 7.20m turning circle, making it ideal for businesses in urban areas.

Erin Baker, Editorial Director at Auto Trader, said that creating repairable, reusable, and recyclable products is crucial for decarbonizing the automotive industry, and Citroën has demonstrated this with the Ami and Oli. The judges were impressed with Citroën’s commitment to sustainability, which includes educating staff on sustainability and environmental issues and ensuring this commitment is reflected in all business decisions.

Greg Taylor, Managing Director of Citroën UK, commented that the company’s commitment to sustainability has been recognized at the Auto Trader New Car Awards. Citroën believes that the future of efficient and sustainable urban mobility lies in doing things differently, as shown by the Oli and Ami 100% Electric.

In the Auto Trader Awards, 20 out of the 23 categories were determined by 220,000 UK car owners who shared their thoughts and opinions on the cars they own. However, the Sustainability Initiative award was judged by independent experts from the Carbon Literacy Project, an organization that promotes understanding and action on climate change.

CITROËN C4 AND Ë-C4 NAMED BEST CARS TO OWN IN THE UK ACCORDING TO DRIVER POWER SURVEY 2023

  • Citroën C4 and ë-C4 have won the ‘Car of the Year’ title in the Driver Power survey 2023.
  • Citroën C4 and ë-C4 have secured the top spot in the list of 75 most satisfying models to own in the UK.
  • The model has also been named the ‘Best Compact Family Car’ in this year’s survey.
  • Citroën ë-C4 can now be purchased with two all-electric powertrains that have a maximum WLTP range of 260 miles.

 

The Driver Power survey 2023, conducted and published by Auto Express, has crowned Citroën C4 as the most gratifying car to own in the UK. The C4 and ë-C4 have also been declared the ‘Best Compact Family Car’. Auto Express performs the survey each year, and this year more than 60,000 car owners provided their feedback on various aspects, including running costs, performance, and technology. Recognition in the Driver Power survey is valued by industry commentators and media worldwide as a fair and unbiased evaluation of car owners’ opinions.

 

Citroën C4 and ë-C4 outperformed their competitors according to the scores given by their respective owners. The car owners seemed satisfied with the good MPG or all-electric efficiency, running costs, safety features, and reliability. The quality of ride and handling left an excellent impression on the owners, irrespective of the chosen powertrain.

 

Both C4 and ë-C4 are beneficiaries of the Citroën Advanced Comfort® Program. Citroën Advanced Comfort® seats are constructed specifically with high-density foam in the core of the seat, providing additional support, along with an additional layer of 15mm memory foam just under the fabric. The Advanced Comfort® suspension system, which is exclusively available in Citroën cars, improves the absorption of imperfections in the road and ensures that passengers experience a comfortable ride, creating a real ‘flying carpet’ consistency. This experience is further enhanced by the serene soundless electric powertrain of ë-C4.

 

Steve Fowler, auto express editor-in-chief, commented on this achievement, stating that, “We’ve been greatly impressed by this sleek and stylish Citroën from the outset, and it’s clearly making a huge impression on its owners. It’s a remarkable win for the French firm, which has not only transformed its product range in recent years, but has also invested hugely in improvements to quality.”

 

Citroën C4 is available with a collection of efficient petrol and diesel engines, and the ë-C4 comes with two electric powertrains, one with a 50kW battery that promises a maximum of 222 miles of range (WLTP), and the other with a 54kW battery that ensures up to 260 miles of range (WLTP). Citroën ë-C4 supports 100kW rapid charging, implying that you can charge from 0-80% in only thirty minutes from a public rapid charger.

 

Citroën UK’s Managing Director, Greg Taylor, commented, “This is a wonderful accolade for everyone at Citroën UK, but much more importantly it’s fabulous news for present and future Citroën customers. An enormous amount of work has gone into our latest products to ensure they’re best in class in terms of quality and ownership experience. And now, the outstanding service delivered by our retailer partners means Citroën can proudly say that we are the maker of the most satisfying car to own in the UK right now.

CITROËN INTRODUCES NEW Ë-SERIES EDITIONS ACROSS Ë-C4, Ë-C4 X AND ELECTRIFIED C5 AIRCROSS MODELS

  • New ë-Series versions add distinctive style and enhanced levels of technology to Citroën’s electrified model range.
  • Ë-Series follows on from Citroën’s earlier ‘C-Series Edition’ trim level, which delivered value and generous specification across the passenger car range.
  • Body colour options enhanced with the availability of a black bi-tone roof and special alloy wheels across each model.
  • New ë-Series variants are available to order now, with first deliveries expected in July.

 

Citroën UK has announced a new ë-Series line-up, available across its electrified C-segment models. The new cross-range ë-Series trim offers more style and technology, plus the use of additional recycled materials. Much like the earlier ‘C-Series Edition’ that enhanced the value-for-money offering across Citroën’s passenger car range, the new ë-Series editions add fresh styling cues and more technology across ë-C4, ë-C4 X and electrified C5 Aircross models.

 

All three models share key design elements, such as a Perla Nera Black bi-tone roof and black alloy wheels, as well as exclusive ë-Series exterior badging.

 

Ë-SERIES: NEW SIGNATURE FOR THE ELECTRIFIED C-SEGMENT RANGE

 

  • Sitting at the top of the range for both ë-C4 and ë-C4 X, ë-Series versions of both vehicles come with the new My Citroën Drive Plus infotainment system and keyless start, as well as heated front seats and an upgraded Citroën HiFi system. Ë-Series variants will be available with the existing 100kw (136hp) – 50kWh powertrain with a WLTP range of up to 222 miles, as well as the new 115kw (156hp) – 54kWh version with a WLTP range of up to 260 miles.

  • Based on the existing ‘Shine’ trim level, C5 Aircross ë-Series editions will gain Highway Driver Assist, an opening panoramic glass sunroof, and heated front seats. Ë-Series models will be available with the 225 Plug-in Hybrid powertrain, as well as the new Hybrid 136, which combines a specially developed 136hp PureTech petrol engine with 48V battery technology, alongside a new electrified dual-clutch ë-DCS6 gearbox and a 21kW electric motor – reducing CO2 emissions by up to 15%/

Across all three models, the use of electrified powertrains helps add to the sense of on-board serenity and well-being, with a smooth ride and reduced noise.

 

A DYNAMIC AND CONTRASTING VISUAL IDENTITY

 

All three model silhouettes share the same exterior identity based on shared elements, creating a look that is prestigious, elegant, and dynamic.

 

The first of these elements is the Perla Nera Black roof that is standard on ë-Series trim editions. Already a familiar option on C4 and C5 Aircross, this bi-tone roof design is a new feature on the ë-C4 X range. The entire roof is painted black – which is particularly in keeping with the dark-tinted rear window – giving a fluid feel, and an appearance that makes the car look more dynamic. With this two-tone combination, ë-C4 X takes on the air of a coupé, but without losing the practicality of its spacious rear seat and large boot.

 

In addition, each silhouette benefits from full-black alloy wheels, with 18-inch ‘Aeroblade’ black alloy wheels on ë-C4 and ë-C4 X that are new and specific to these ë-Series models, while C5 Aircross Hybrid and Plug-in Hybrid ë-Series variants gain 19-inch ‘Art’ black alloy wheels. For added contrast, each vehicle is presented with tinted rear side windows, rear quarter windows and rear window.

 

The combination of the optional Pearl White body colour with the black roof is the signature look of this new ë-Series collection, although customers can also choose other colours available in the range.

 

Ë-Series versions also come with Citroën’s Dark Chrome colour pack, which is applied to the front bumper inserts and the Airbump® panels, giving each model a distinctive touch. This pack is exclusive to the ë-Series on ë-C4 and ë-C4 X (although already an option on C5 Aircross). Finally, all ë-Series variants come with an “ë-Series” monogram, a clever mix of glossy black, aluminium and white, positioned at the rear of the three vehicles.

 

A NEW LIGHT INTERIOR AMBIANCE FOR GREATER SERENITY

 

Comfort and well-being is a true differentiator for Citroën. Ë-Series versions of C5 Aircross take this commitment to heart by offering an exclusive light interior ambience. The choice of light and warm materials is intended to create a brighter interior harmony, offering a soothing atmosphere, while enhancing the sense of space inside the cabin. Ë-Series editions banish negative thoughts to help you relax in a cocoon of comfort.

 

This light colour is applied with a tone-on-tone contrast for an even more striking interior ambience. The light grey seats, backrests, and armrests are set off by the medium grey applied to the edge of the seat, contours, upper backrest and headrests, as well as the central and door armrests. The horizontal seat upholstery design, which extends into the door panels, helps to reinforce the perception of width on-board and gives great coherence to the passenger compartment.

 

An interior with a focus on detail adds value to the occupants. This is the case, for example, in the design of the seats, which feature the ‘bubble panels’ characteristic of Citroën style, providing the graphic signature of the seats and visually reinforcing the notion of comfort. The same goes for the band on the upper part of the seat, which features a herringbone pattern. To finish the look, ‘ë’ labels are added on the inside of the front seats, which act as the ë-Series signature.

 

For customers who want a more dynamic and darker interior, the C5 Aircross ë-Series trim is available with Alcantara® seats in the existing dark ambience.

 

All ë-C4 and ë-C4 X ë-Series versions feature the popular mid-grey Alcantara® ambience that has been well received on the ‘Shine Plus’ versions of these models.

 

A NEW WARM AND RESPONSIBLE ALCANTARA® UPHOLSTERY

 

Ë-Series versions choose quality materials such as Alcantara® for the seat, backrest and armrests. This fabric adds to the perceived quality and warmth of the interior. Soft to the touch, it also provides better support for occupants.

 

Specifically, on C5 Aircross ë-Series versions with the light grey interior ambience, the Alcantara® fabric is manufactured using an innovative process with 68% of its outer surface made of recycled fibres.
