Citroen C1 video review

Different generations of used Citroen C1

Citroen released the C1 in 2005 as a low-cost option that was closely related to the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107. It was offered with three or five doors, and went through two generations before being discontinued in the UK in 2022 so that the company could focus more on larger vehicles with electric and hybrid configurations.

Second Generation (2014 to 2022)

The basic design of the C1 remained the same with the new generation except that the air intakes became more noticeable and LED daytime running lights were installed in the bumper. Paddle shifters became available with the semi-automatic (EGS) transmission, and a new infotainment system was released.

The goal of the new generation was to bring forth unique styling that further differentiated the model from the Toyota and Peugeot equivalents. For the C1, the change meant narrower headlights and a larger front grille.

First Generation (2005 to 2014)

The C1 was released in 2005 and was created in partnership with Toyota and Peugeot, taking a top spot in the UK city car segment. A double-chevron chrome badge highlighted the short hood design and the grille sat on the bumper's lower end. Inside, the tachometer sat on the speedometer, giving the cabin a sporty appearance.

A facelift took place in 2009 to ensure that the C1 met Euro 5 emission standards. Five-door variants also introduced body-coloured door handles. New materials were added to the interior to improve the style. Another update in 2012 brought changes to the lower grille with more noticeable air intakes.

Used Citroen C1 FAQ's

Which is the most popular engine in the Citroen C1?

The 1.0-litre petrol engine is the most popular in the C1. It's extremely efficient with a rating up to 58.9mpg, and it produces 70bhp, which is more than enough for such a small car.

Which are the most popular trim levels?

There have been numerous trim levels over the years, including the Urban Ride, Shine, Flair and Furio. In the used market, the Flair tends to be the most popular with its leather steering wheel, reverse camera, 15-inch alloy wheels and electrically adjustable wing mirrors.

What optional extras should I look out for?

Customers should look out for a used C1 with the Active City Brake technology. This autonomous emergency braking system includes traffic sign recognition and lane departure warning to provide even more safety and peace of mind.

Is the Citroen C1 a good family car?

While the rear seats in C1 aren't going to be comfortable for tall adults on a long drive, it does make a decent car for families with small children. The rear seat can accommodate children easily, especially when choosing a five-door hatchback, and there's enough boot space for a few bags of groceries.

Is there a hybrid version of the Citroen C1?

Citroen didn't make the C1 in a hybrid configuration. The model was discontinued in 2022 so that the company could focus more on creating hybrid and electric vehicles, but the C1 wasn't one of the models that was going to be changed over. Instead, it has been offered in both petrol and diesel models.

Is the Citroen C1 available as an automatic?

Yes, it is possible to find used examples , but it's not as popular and can be difficult to find in the used market. Technically, it's classed as a semi-automatic, meaning you can change gears yourself manually using paddles on the steering wheel if you prefer.

Is there a four-wheel drive version available?

Citroen didn't make the C1 with a four-wheel drive configuration, which isn't unusual considering its small size. As with most cars from this segment, the only option is front-wheel drive, which is perfect for city navigation.
