Citroën C1 Owner's Manual

About The C1

Alongside the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107/108 the Citroën C1 is assembled in the same plant in the Czech Republic.

All 3 models are basically the same car and occupy the city car segment of the auto market.

These owner’s manuals are guides that will help you understand how to care for and drive your C1.

Cars that are classed as city cars are typically very basic models designed for very short journeys, being lightweight and fitted with small engines make them cheap to run.

During the first generation of the C1’s life (starting in 2005) it was offered with the choice of a 1 or 1.4-liter engine.

With the introduction of the second-generation model in 2014 that choice was reduced to just a 1-liter.

Buyers can now choose the transmission type, either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic that powers just the front wheels.

They can also choose from a wide range of trims with varying levels of luxury and features such as:

  • ELLE
  • Feel
  • Flair
  • Furio
  • JCC+
  • Origins
  • Sense
  • Shine
  • Touch
  • Urban Ride

Safety ratings for the car have been relatively good for such a small model, Euro NCAP has repeatedly awarded the Citroën C1 4 out of 5 stars during crash tests.

Sales in the recent decade are only roughly half of what the car used to achieve but with much more options on the market now including the adoption of crossover SUVs it has managed to retain its place in the market well.

2022 Discontinuation

Although the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 108 will continue into their next generation this model will not.

Instead, Citroen will instead focus its effort on the newer Ami line – a city car unlike most others on the market.
