Here are the first pictures of the new small crossover that Citroen can be considered as the cousin of the 2008 Peugeot since it normally takes the platform and the classic spirit of wiser than our C4 Cactus design.
Introduced in April as a concept car at the show from Beijing, here is the final version that will be unveiled in December at the Guangzhou auto show. The look is classic, not bad but not great shine without the dynamism of the concept version. The back and truncated statement gives a little oomph to the drawing which seems to hesitate between the C4 Aircross, the 2008 DS and WR. We also suprised by the appearance of the glass rear doors that appear to have been retouched to "hastily" by placing a single cache.
Resposant normally on the same platform as the Peugeot 2008, but in a slightly extended release (XR-Emp C3: 2.65 m versus Emp 2008: 2.54 m), this new crossover Citroen measure a total length of 4.26 m ie 30 cm shorter than the new DS WR.
While it was thought that this SUV is powered by two versions of the L4 1.6L THP, we discover that this vehicle will eventually motorized entry-level, the 1.8 L L4 strong around 110-115 hp and the L4 1.6 L THP 163 hp. No version 200 hp seems currently provided by the manufacturer.
Not intended for our markets, the C3-XR will be built in China by joint venture PSA / Dongfeng. Introduced in early December 2014, the Ciotroën C3-XR will arrive in dealerships in China early in the year 2015 with the new vintage.
