Not sure if it's a small CUV or just a raised hatchback, but leaked pics of this wonderfully weird Hatch/Cross thingy. IIRC, it's supposed to be slightly cheaper than the C4, IDK for sure


Stayed true to the concept, and although I'm not 100% on everything on the exterior, I adore the interior.

Citroen back doing what made them great over the years  - the unconventional and the bold.

Hurrah!

I like it except for those plastic thingies on the doors - seem rather pointless.

Without them the design looks much cleaner.




Overall, looks good. Reminds me of the quirky and legendary Mehari!  :wub:

My initial reaction was...ugly.  However, the more I look at it the more it seems to appeal...sort of like a puppy with an ugly face.

So, this thing is not even 2200lbs, which is no mean feat.  :clap:


The Fiat 500L is roughly the same size as this car but is literally over 1000lbs heavier!!!

I do agree it makes for a more interesting scenery on the road. I'm just not sure how successful they can get with this. Granted the new looks has improved their sales numbers, however "funky" has to have a relatively low barrier that can not be crossed.

Yeah, and they're filled with air. Supposed to really make things easy for parking damage.

For french style parking that would be a considerable asset.

Parisian parking is brutal. Drivers feel their way into their spots, stopping only when the other parked cars jostle.

The air pods can apparently be had in black, light grey, dark grey, and brown.
