Citroën C3

The Citroën C3 is a supermini car made by Citroën. Launched in 2003 as one of two replacements for the Citroën Saxo (the other being the smaller Citroën C2 of 2004), the car seems to be a turning point for Citroën as it introduces an innovative image to the company. It was designed by Jean Pierre Ploué, previously known for authoring the Renault Twingo design, and head of the Citroën design team since 1999.

The C3 family received in July 2003 a new member in the form of the highly-adaptable C3 Pluriel, which can be configured as a convertible, a pick-up or a closed car. In some ways the C3 Pluriel is a successor to the utilitarian Citroën Méhari of the 1970s.
