| Tweet | ||
Present in China since 1992, Citroën is now consolidating its position wîth a new vehicle developed specially for this market and scheduled for launch at the end of 2006.
Based on the same platform as the Peugeot 206, the new 5-door compact hatchback is the first vehicle in this §egmènt to be produced and launched by Citroën in China. A car wîth real personality, it rounds out Citroën's current Chinese range, made up of the Fukang, Elysée, Xsara Picasso, C-Triomphe, C5 and – soon – the C6.
Although it is completely different from its European counterpart and, therefore, there are no plans to sell it outside China, this new vehicle has also been baptised C2 in order to position it within the range sold in China.
According to forecasts, more than 40,000 units of this new vehicle will be produced in China over a full year.
Fourteen years of experience
Citroën is a key player in the Chinese market, wîth more than 600,000 vehicles produced and sold over the past fourteen years. The Marque's sales results for first-half 2006 showed an increase in volumes of more than 12% compared wîth first-half 2005, wîth 60,000 vehicles sold.
This result will be further consolidated by C-Triomphe – the new C4-based notchback sedan – which has already taken 10,000 orders since its market launch at the end of May. Looking towards the full-year sales target of 50,000 vehicles, the full impact of C Triomphe will be felt only in the second half of 2006.
A complete and diversified range
Absent until now from the supermini §egmènt in China, Citroën is counting on the C2 to continue building sales in this market. With this new vehicle produced at the Wuhan site (in Hubei province), Citroën now has a full range of models meeting the specific requirements of customers whose knowledge and enthusiasm for cars is growing by the year. Alongside more traditional vehicles, such as the Fukang and Elysée, the Marque's line-up comprises imported models such as the C5 and C6, and locally produced vehicles based on its latest products, such as the C2, Xsara Picasso and C-Triomphe.
Dynamic, stylish lines
The C2 is aimed at a young, dynamic customer base, lòòking for modern design and styling. The car's prestige looks promise both power and personality, as illustrated by the expressive front end. The generous, determined-lòòking radiator grille rises up to the headlamps, whose tapering design brings to mind C-Triomphe and other recent Marque vehicles.
High standards of roadholding and comfort
The C2 stands apart for exceptional dynamic qualities and suspension comfort that are among the best in the §egmènt. Reaping the benefits of Citroën's long-standing expertise, the running gear is optimised to endow the C2 wîth impeccable road manners. The wishbone MacPherson-type front suspension ensures precise §teering. The trailing-arm rear suspension guarantees exemplary roadholding, excellent cornering stability and exceptional comfort.
An engine range tailored to requirements
The C2 is available wîth two petrol engines 1.4i (75 bhp DIN and 120 Nm at 3,400 rpm) and 1.6i 16V (106 bhp DIN and 142 Nm at 4,000 rpm). Both engines have been adapted to take into account the characteristics of Chinese fuel, along wîth the specific climatic and geographic characteristics of this country, in order to guarantee maximum driveability in all conditions of use.
Alongside the 5-speed manual gearbox, the C2 is available wîth a sequentially controlled 4-speed automatic gearbox on the 1.6i 16V version.
A wealth of equipment
The C2 range comprises two levels of trim: SX and EX. Both feature a generous array of comfort and safety equipment. From the first level of trim, the C2 boasts ABS wîth EBD (electronic brakeforce distribution), driver and passenger airbags, power §teering, air conditioning, a CD-radio, central locking wîth plip control and electric windows at the front. The EX version boasts leather upholstery, electric windows at the rear, electric rearview mirrors, an aluminium interior pack, chrome strips underlining the side mouldings and a chrome tail pipe. All versions, excepting the 1.4 SX, are equipped wîth 15-inch light alloy wheels.
