Launch of Citroen C-Elysee

Dr. Bijan Majidi, General Manger of Motorcity Holdings BSC commented: “The all New Citroën C-Elysée demonstrates Citroën’s expertise in technology and design by developing a modern and affordable European engineered and manufactured vehicle.

“The new VTi engine of the C-Elysée is designed for better performance, fuel efficiency and durability. This car has been tested over more than 4 million kilometres around the world, in all driving conditions, to ensure that it surpasses customer expectations. We invite the customers to test drive this new model to get a glimpse of what it can offer.” Then he added.

The Citroën C-Elysée design is attractive and well balanced. The front end immediately identifies the vehicle as a member of the Citroën family, with a large chrome signature emphasizing the enveloping, ribbed bonnet. The bodywork is both harmonious and eye-catching, conveying a robust sense of presence with a high waistline, wide tracks and strong curving wings. The Citroën C-Elysée is available in a choice of seven body colours, with chrome detailing depending on the level of trim.

Inside the car, the elegant design is also perceptible to passengers. The executive-style dashboard features a neat strip in front of the front passenger. All materials were selected to be attractive, robust and easy to maintain.

The Citroën C-Elysée is designed to stand the test of time and mileage. The extreme driving conditions were factored in from the design stage itself. As a result, the vehicle features, appropriate clearance and tyres, additional under-body protection and reinforced body part design.

Wide wheel base and specially designed new generation gearbox are combined with electric power steering that is both informative and precise at all vehicle speeds, to ensure strong road holding and safety for all passengers, even in the most difficult conditions. It’s also fitted with ABS, in addition to dual airbags.

The Citroën C-Elysée is equipped with the new 1.6 Litre VTi DOHC engine, delivering 115 HP of power, and is combined with a 4 speed automatic gearbox. The car truly illustrates brand’s expertise in terms of providing comfort to its occupants, ensuring real driving pleasure even in the most extreme conditions.

The Citroen C-Elysée delivers not only an impeccable ride but also an exceptional space. This is a vehicle of generous exterior dimensions: 4.43 m long, 1.7 m wide and 1.47 m tall. The 2.65 m wheelbase is the longest in its category.

The design of C-Elysée is optimised in terms of space and dimensions. The interior roominess is worthy of saloons in the next category up, with best-in-class space in the back seats. The leg room available to passengers at the rear is remarkable in terms of both width and length (knee room of 120 mm). The spacious design of the cabin has no impact on boot space. With a capacity of 506 litres VDA, the boot is one of the biggest in its class. With these features, the Citroën C-Elysée is fully suited to its role as the main family car.

The Citroën C-Elysée is available with a range of modern, intuitive comfort equipment.
