Generously Compact
The new C3 is one of the most compact models in the segment at just 3.94 m long, 1.73 m wide and 1.52 m high, and also offers one of the most generous cabin environments in its class for both occupant space and load volume.
The intelligent design of the car’s internal architecture utilises the best of Citroën creativity to generate the maximum amount of useable space. For example, the recessed lower dashboard frees legroom for the front passenger, which means they can sit further forward, creating more legroom for back seat passengers. The slim design of the front seat backs creates an additional three cm of legroom in the rear and the semi-raised front seating position also creates space under the seats for rear passenger’s feet.
The 300-litre boot, with its optimised design, is the biggest in the segment and offers easy loading – thanks to the lowered boot sill (only 22.7 cm from the floor of the boot to the top of the sill), and the increased width of the boot aperture (104 cm). For secure stowage, the boot also has four lashing rings and can be equipped with a removable load net. To increase rear load space, the 60:40 split-folding rear seats can be folded down with one hand in a single effortless movement using levers accessed from either the boot or the back seats. With the rear seats down it is possible to load boxes up to 1029 x 1189 x 689 mm in size.
Providing convenient storage throughout the cabin, the new C3 is fitted with front and rear door cubby holes and compartments in the central fascia.
