Citroen has
announced the introduction of its most CO2 efficient
conventionally powered model to date - the new C3 e-HDi 70 Airdream EGS
VTR+. With emissions of just 87g/km and combined cycle economy of
83.1mpg, this new version of the C3 supermini is now Citroën’s most fuel
and CO2 efficient diesel powered car, ranking it amongst the
very best in its class. |
First displayed at the 2011
Frankfurt Motor Show in
September, the highly specified
e-HDi 70 Airdream EGS VTR+ is
available to order from this
month with an OTR MRRP of
£15,290, complete with the C3’s
renowned panoramic Zenith
windscreen.
The new model uses Citroën’s innovative
e-HDi micro-hybrid Stop & Start technology, combined with a refined and
efficient 68hp HDi diesel engine, to deliver fuel economy of up to
88.3mpg in extra urban driving.
Jules Tilstone, Citroën UK’s Marketing
Director, commented: “Citroën is committed to driving down the cost of
motoring and this new model is a perfect example of that. With
impressive fuel economy, low CO2 emissions, a BIK rate at
just 13%, free VED and the benefit of no London Congestion Charge, this
stylish model is a financially and environmentally attractive addition
to the Citroën range.”
Jules continued: “Underlining the
brand’s firm environmental commitment, a full 50% of Citroën cars sold
this year emit under 130g/km of CO2 and there has been a
five-gram decrease in average CO2 emissions for the European
range as a whole.”
