Citroen C3 2006 Kuwait Prices & Specs

The C3 is a curvaceous hatchback that competes in the hot compact segment dominated by Toyota. The standard C3 is available in five-door form only, while the funky C3 Pluriel is only available as a two-door. Designed to be roomy and versatile, it is utterly more futuristic than the usual offerings in this segment, and fairly well-equipped. The C3 cabin has plenty of cubbyholes and storage spaces, a big windshield and the 'Moduboard' foldable false floor for the luggage trunk. There are more unexpected features such as speed-sensitive windshield wipers, follow-me-home headlights and one-touch electric windows. Current engine choices are the 1.4-litre and the 1.6-litre four-cylinder motors. An upgraded 1.4-litre option came later. A manual is standard, with an optional auto on the 1.4-litre. The SensoDrive auto gearbox is offered on the upgraded 1.4-litre and the 1.6-litre with a fuel-saving feature called the Stop-Start system, which automatically turns the engine off when idling in traffic and turns it on again when you lift off the brake. The Pluriel comes with a different front end and a 1.6-litre auto only, and this unique car can be converted into a hatchback, a pick-up and a convertible by playing with roof configurations. The Pluriel was discontinued here by 2007. Standard front and side airbags, as are ABS brakes.
