It is available as both three and five-door versions as a hatchback, and as a new open-top body style, Airscape.
Eight body colours are offered including four metallic options, along with three wheel designs and three interior upholstery finishes. The fabric roof will be available in three colours for the Airscape models (Black, Grey and Sunrise Red).
The New C1 range is powered by two latest-generation petrol engines: a VTi 68, available with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed clutch less Efficient Tronic Gearbox (ETG). There is also the addition of Citroen's latest 3-cylinder PureTech 82 engine with a 5-speed manual transmission.
Three trims levels are: Touch, Feel and Flair.
The car has a really cheerful personality and attractive styling as we discovered when we drove it at its international launch in Amsterdam last week. The car we drove then was the agile and nippy Airscape 5-door FEEL Edition PureTech 82hp with manual transmission in white with the Sunrise Red fabric roof. It got admiring glances as we drove through the city streets. The red colour was continued on the side mirrors and B-Pillars, as well as along the dash and the sides of the seats. The C1 can seat four adults in comfort and has a 196 litre boot.
Ride comfort and handling have been improved compared to its predecessor. There's also more useful technology including a 7-inch Touch Drive interface and Mirror Screen technology that allows the driver to run selected smartphone apps from the touch screen.
