History Citroen C3 / Citroen Si3

In the fall of 2001, at the Motor Show in Frankfurt am Main Citroen presented a completely new generation of cars called C3. This generation came to replace the outdated Saxo family and represents the French manufacturer in such a popular car sector as class B.

The appearance of the serial car was preceded by the concept car Citroen C3 Lumiere, presented at the Paris Motor Show in 1998. C3 Lumiere possessed the body where there was no central rack, and the doors were sprinkled in opposite sides. No less originally opened and rear door folded in half. The roof was typed from seven translucent slats, which using an electric drive could be removed backwards. Creative created creators and to optics. An example of what rear lightswho came to almost the roof and part of Rear body racks. An unusual form also had an outer rearview mirrors.

When moving to the serial sample, all this was lost due to the high cost, impracticality and complexity of implementation in mass production. But some nuances of the taki played to C3 by inheritance. For example, proportions are a very high height (1520 mm) for a length of 3850 mm. This allowed the designers to make a high landing, as a result, quite a lot of space at the knee level.

Separately, you should mention the design of the windshield. It is multi-layered, and one of the layers has the property to refract and reflect the sun's rays, which reduces the temperature on the surface of the front panel to 300 and protects the air in the cabin from excessive overheating on hot days. The hatch in the roof refers to the category of options. It consists of two panels and sliding curtains between them.

The line of power units is represented by two four-cylinder turbodiesels with the direct fuel injection of the new generation. These engines are the joint development of PSA companies (Peugeot + Citroen) and Ford. They have the same volume of 1.4 liters, but differ in the number of valves per cylinder and the design of turbocharger. From here I. different power - 70 or 92 hp Power units Distinguishes economical fuel consumption (3l / 100 km), good dynamics, silent operation and complete compliance with environmental requirements.

Gamma gasoline engines by three aggregates: 1.1 l / 61 hp, 1.4 l / 75 hp, 1.6 l / 110 hp At the very beginning of production, C3 was produced only with mechanical box Transmissions, but soon the ranks replenished and the automatic version. True, this gearbox is combined with only one engine - 1.4-liter gasoline.

Front brakes - disk, rear - drums. Front suspension: Independent type McPherson on triangular lower levers, spring with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers. Transverse stabilizer. Rear suspension: semi-dependent, spring, with hydraulic telescopic shock absorbers.

Do not forget the creators and security. Citroen C3 is equipped with ABS, Brake Assist and brake force distribution system. Six pieces Six pieces: Two frontal, and the navigator pillow can be blocked, two side, built-in front seats, and two inflatable curtains. In addition, the front seats seat belts are adjustable in height and have pyrotechnic pretensioners with triggering force limiters, and the steering column is equipped with a Body Block system, that is, it has the ability to deviate by 50 mm in the event of a collision and thereby protect the chest driver.

The steering mechanism received an electric amplifier. The gain ratio varies depending on the speed of movement. When moving at high speeds, the force on the steering wheel increases, and at low speeds, on the contrary, decreases.

Exterior C3 is characterized by originality. The car looks stylish and modern, it is instantly recognizable on the arcuate front and rear racks, which are moving one to another, inheriting the style from the legendary 2cv. In the same vein, the designers approached and the interior decoration. Speedometer, tachometer and control lamps are assembled into one compact block, and at the same time each of the devices simply amazes the originality of the solution. The tachometer, for example, is made in the form of a semicircular scale over a digital speedometer, and the engine turnover is shown by a small red arrow that moves along this scale.

In 2004, Citroen presented the "charged" version of the C3 hatchback, which received the name Citroen C3 VTR. This model It differs from a basic more powerful engine and dynamic, aggressive design.

The exterior got painted in the body of the body side moldings integrated into front bumper Tinnient headlights, light alloy wheel disks 16 inches size and chrome-plated nozzle on the exhaust pipe.

In the interior there appeared dark gray inserts in the interior decoration and a new steering wheel.

Under the hood C3 VTR install 110-strong 1.6-liter gas engine. Which is aggregated with a mechanical five-speed gearbox.

Also in 2004, the C3 XTR version was presented at the Vienna Motor Show, which is designed for lovers of outdoor activities. She got enlarged wheel arches, wide black grille and black bumpers, 15-inch alloy wheels, fog lights and enlarged ground clearance.

From other differences of new items, a panoramic glass roof can be noted, which can be moved with the help of electric drives, as well as special roof rollings, with which you can carry mountain bikes or surfboards.

The C3 XTR salon is also spacious, as in C3, while there are more places for various trifles. The trunk volume of 279 liters due to the folded seats of the rear row can be increased to 1155 liters, and it provides a space separator system, in case, if you need to put apart from each other.

The interior decoration is performed in two colors, and all seats are covered with a special moisture-resistant material from which it is easy to remove contaminants. On the dashboard A button for locking the rear doors is provided. In the basic configuration C3 XTR, it has: electric side mirrors, a CD player, "seeming" headlights, electric windows and an on-board computer.

Security system includes: ABS, EBD (brake force distribution) and Emergency Braking Assistance, four airbags and automatic blocking Covers of the trunk and doors at the beginning of the movement.

C3 XTR is equipped with a gasoline 90-strong 1.4i 16V or 92-strong diesel 1.4HDI 16V.

The premiere of the updated C3 was held in the fall on the 2009 Frankfour Shop. Citroen C3 reached the Russian buyer only by the summer of 2010. Creating a new generation, engineers of the brand set themselves a difficult task - to collect together the best that it was already in the car, but at the same time make it even more perfect. Citroen C3 2010 is based on a completely new PSA front-wheel drive platform. Keeping tribute to fashion, Citroen C3 has grown in size (9 cm long - up to 3941 mm, 6 cm wide to 1728 mm, and almost 2 cm in height - up to 1538 mm, its base is 2466 mm). C3 2010 can turn around in a circle with a diameter of 10.2 meters. The coefficient of aerodynamic resistance Cd \u003d 0.30.

The novelty retains the main features of the previous C3, and the style of new models from Citroen, for example, the front part of the DS3 concept body and the design of the rear optics model C5. Despite the fact that the car remained rounded forms inherent in the previous model, it no longer seems small. Designer "things" - it is their interference that creates the feeling that C3 2010 has become much more. Clearly readable bombing lines seek forward, thereby creating the impression of dynamism and visually extending the car. Simple techniques of automotive design allowed maintaining a common visual concept, but at the same time were able to change the overall impression of the appearance of Citroen C3.

The front of the car looks very aggressive. Powerful aircabonik in combination with headlights made in the form of boomerangs, and a massive new emblem presses the facade of the car to the ground and bring in appearance Sports notes. Chrome details appeared on door handles, wiper, rearview mirrors and exhaust pipe. With all his assertive appearance, the car looks friendly, brightly and does not look like any of the classmates.

The main highlight in the C3 body design is panoramic windshield Zenith (option, its height is 135 cm, in conventional configuration It is proposed glass height of 92 cm). Smoothly flowing onto the roof of a compact car, it does not simply add a charm, but also carries a functional purpose. Panoramic windshield fills the cabin with extra light and visually it expands it. Over the heads of passengers, the glass is slightly darkened, protecting from the sun, then transparency is smoothly changing and the glass is absolutely transparent for viewing on the road.

Thanks to the increment in the dimensions and the elongated wheelbase, the 5-seater Citroen C3 cabin has become spacious. First of all, it is worth noting that the manufacturer fought literally for each cubic and square centimeter of the inner space of the new Citroen C3. The front panel was forced to raise a little, thereby increasing the place for the passenger's feet. But thanks this maneuver Ahead of the seated passenger can move on eight centimeters relative to the driver, while maintaining a comfortable landing and freeing additional place For rear seat. The form and location of the front seats also affected comfort in the second row. The thickness of the front seats is reduced by three centimeters, and they are raised. Such a solution made it possible to add space for knees and provide an opportunity if necessary to pull out the legs thanks to the resulting free space under the chair. Moreover, the procedures conducted in no way affect the quality of the chairs and the convenience of landing.

It is felt that when working on the interior, Citroen engineers attached maximum effort. Special praise deserves a steering wheel with a beveled lower part, thoughtful ergonomics of torpedoes, controls, decent quality of materials and finishing works. The steering wheel has special recesses under the palm pads, which allows you to make the capture strong enough, and is not overloaded with the control buttons that are removed on a separate unit. Driver chair and armchair front passenger Possess a mass of adjustments that can easily make it convenient.

The front panel Citroen C3 Visiodrive also looks very peculiar. Instead of the usual for the French brand of analog-digital (linear or arcuate) indicators before the drivers of the driver, an ergonomic group of 3 shooting dials. At hand, switch controls onboard information and entertainment systems. The machine is well equipped with a part of the media - USB connectors, compatibility with iPod, reading MP3, audio system with surround sound, MYWAY navigation system.

Citroen C3 trunk increased: with a complete landing at places, the trunk capacity is 287 liters, and the width is 104 cm. Almost 23 centimeters lowered the height of the luggage compartment threshold, as a result - more convenient loading. If desired, to increase the volume of the luggage compartment, you can apply transformation rear seats in proportion 2/3 or 1/3. This is done quite simple - one movement from the trunk or rear door. Then the amount of useful space increases almost to 1000 liters.

On the russian market C3 hatchback is supplied exclusively with gasoline engines developed in conjunction with BMW. It offers three engines: 1.4 liters (75 and 95 hp) and 1.6 liters (by 120 hp). The first two work in a pair with a 5-speed mechanic, and the most powerful in the ruler can be aggregated with a four-stage automatic machine. All engines meet the EURO V standard. By applying a new electric amplifier and an upgraded rear beam, the car has become more collected and sensitive in control.

Citroen C3 2010 is offered in three modifications: the simplest Dynamique, and two more advanced Tendance and Exclusive. The model will compete with such cars as Ford Fiesta., Volkswagen Polo., Renault Clio and Fiat Grande Punto.

In 2013, at the Geneva Motor Show, Citroen presented a restyled version of the second generation of compact hatchback C3. The updated Citroen C3 received a number of insignificant changes in the interior and exterior. Slightly updated in front, a little behind, improved the quality of the interior decoration and added new ruler Three-cylinder engines. But the update has been added to the car attractive, both externally and technically.

Main changes fell on the front of the car. The hatchback received a slightly modified bumper, which found a place for two LED strips of daytime running lights, located just above the fog. A falseradiator grille has been updated, which has become much greater and modern. In the back, the structure of the lanterns changed a little, new reflectors appeared on the bumper and the molding shape changed. Also for the car proposed a new body color - Ink Blue (ink blue).

In the sling of changes less - the updates received mainly finishing of the dashboard. The panel retained its layout, but the color range of its design has changed, and an additional backlight appeared on the dashboard, designed to improve the readability of the information.
