Revised Citroën C3 now available to order
Refreshed Citroën C3 is now available to order in the UK, featuring RDE2-compliant petrol and diesel engines and the brand’s latest styling.
With more than 780,000 global sales since its launch in 2016, the third-generation Citroën C3 has undergone its mid-life facelift to include revised styling and the latest efficient engines.
Order books open today (Monday, 1 June) with first customer deliveries expected in August. Prices start from £16,280 (MRRP OTR).
