Presentation

The C2 is a dynamic 3-door supermini with top-of the range equipment, modular design and high-level engines. Released in September 2003, it sold more than 150,000 units in Western Europe in 2004.
With its striking style and strong personality, the C2 is the embodiment of dynamic performance. Its design lines play on visual appeal and on the break created by the recessed side rear windows.

The C2 has new rear lights.
Inside, the supermini has benefited, like the C3, from a new dashboard which enhances the passenger compartment. Two new trims in leather and leather/fabric, available as options, also raise the tone of the onboard interior design.

Comfort et technology

Looking beyond styling, the C2 heralds an innovative concept in modular interior design and boot access. The rear independent sliding seats can be folded down easily in order to provide as much space as required at the rear. High standards of onboard comfort make the C2 a great car for everyday use.

Like the C3, the C2 boasts a range of equipment previously available only on vehicles from higher segments. The equipment includes cruise control with the new addition of a speed limiter and instrument cluster display of selected mode and speed; a height-and-reach adjustable steering wheel as standard; automatically operated front windscreen wiper and headlamps; electronic parking assistance; and, on some versions, electronic rearview mirrors that can now be folded with a HF remote control unit.

The C2 features an ingenious design concept through which the rear part of the vehicle can be adapted to the needs of the moment. The two rear seats can be independently controlled by a support strap, to slide or fold “portfolio style” without any effort on the part of the user.

This unique system provides the basis for a host of configurations. For example, the C2 can carry three adults while offering generous loading space.Practical and easy to handle, the rear seats can also be folded and removed from the rear of the vehicle.

The C2 combines driving pleasure with high levels of safety thanks to the latest in safety equipment, offered as standard, such as ABS, emergency braking assistance, four front and side airbags, hazard warning lights activated automatically by strong braking, and ESP (on the 1.4i and 1.6i 16V according to versions and markets).

Furthermore, the C2’s results in EuroNCAP consumer tests (4 stars and 29 points) have confirmed the qualities of the common platform shared with the C3 and C3 Pluriel in terms of passenger protection.

VTR and VTS, a sport story

The VTR and VTS versions convey a particularly sporty image, with their specially designed body parts*. Painted trim parts feature on the lower part of the front bumper and on the lower body. A spoiler positioned above the rear window completes the trim.


The bold character of the C2 VTS is expressed by special alloy wheels, a chrome exhaust pipe and the VTS logo.
The sportiest model in the range, the C2 VTS and its 1.6i 16V 125 bhp engine, has already sold more than 10,000 units worldwide. This high-performance supermini is made for customers seeking thrills and driving pleasure. At the same time, the car boasts high levels of comfort and safety for day-to-day use.

Inside, the C2 VTS creates a new sporty ambience with black seats, translucent interior handles, leather steering wheel and aluminium foot pedals.
The seat upholstery in fabric, velour or 3D mesh for the C2 VTR versions is available* in amber, blue, green or grey, with matching trim on the front door panels.

Stop & Start, an environment question

The C2, unveiled in Frankfurt and due for launch in early 2006 (according to market), will be fitted with the Stop & Start system that was introduced on the C3 in December 2004. The C2 Stop & Start embodies Citroën’s commitment to reducing CO2 emissions.
Offered with the 1.4i 16V 90 bhp version, these models contribute to quality of city life by reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by around 10% over an urban cycle. What is more, noise emissions are eliminated when the vehicles come to a halt.

The C2 Stop & Start combines two advanced technologies: the SensoDrive automated gearbox and an electronically controlled reversible alternator. With the Stop & Start system, the engine cuts out just before the vehicle comes to a standstill at a traffic light or in a traffic jams, for example. It is reactivated instantly and automatically as soon as the driver releases the brake pedal to move forward again.
