Rarely has Citroën had so many new models to unveil on a motor show stand as at this year’s Paris Motor show in France.
The new C3, which is currently being launched in Europe and has already received more than 50 000 orders, is a game-changer, offering new access to mobility with modern, attractive styling, great versatility and all the equipment expected in this segment. It is available as a petrol model, a hybrid that offers versatility and ease of use, and an electric version with a range of over 320 km (WLTP cycle).
The C3 Aircross, the most affordable and comfortable multi-energy compact SUV for up to seven people, is making its first public appearance. Completely reinvented, it adopts a new technical platform, a new robust and assertive SUV attitude, and with Citroën's new styling language measuring 4.39 m, it offers both ease of driving and generous on-board space. Available in petrol, 101 kW hybrid and electric (for the 5-seater) versions, it meets the varied needs of families and users looking for versatility and modernity.
The new C4 becomes more serene and stylish than ever. It combines the dynamism of a coupé-like saloon with subtle SUV styling cues. At the rear, the C4 has been reworked to offer a more fluid and balanced stance. Available in hybrid and electric versions, it offers simple and affordable solutions to facilitate the transition to electrification.
The new C4 X boasts an innovative and attractive silhouette for the European market. The new C4 X combines the elegance and fluidity of a fastback, the refinement of a spacious 4-door and the attitude of an SUV. It will be available with a choice of Hybrid and Electric.
The C5 Aircross Concept is a powerful, characteristic vision of Citroën's future SUV. The C5 Aircross Concept is based on the STLA Medium multi-energy platform, capable of integrating all powertrains to suit all use cases: combustion, hybrid or electric. The new model will be unveiled in 2025.
It's all-change for the Ami in 2025. Original, playful, cheeky and above all practical, the Ami is celebrating its 4th birthday and previews an all-new design. Its headlamps are raised to emphasise a new, more mature and structured front end, while at the same time expressing a very joyful personality. Its wings will be striped in a nod to its iconic ancestor, the 2 CV. Coming to roads near you in 2025.

The Tayron will launch with two equipment lines - Life and R-Line.
If you think Golf in South Africa, you think GTI or even the quicker Golf R. Volkswagen, however, has just introduced a new entry-level Golf consisting of four models slotting in below its twin performance siblings.
