New Citroen C3 snapped on the street

New Citroen C3 photographed on the street

Early debut seems to include early-release vehicles

WCF reader Marius was quick on the draw when he spotted a new Citroen C3 on the street in Deauville, France. The car's surprise release last week, prior to the expected Frankfurt Motor Show debut, seems to have been accompanied by a few vehicles leaving the factory, possibly for media evaluations. There's no telling how this C3 ended up on what appears to be a humble residential street, however.

Whatever the reason, the C3 is scheduled to go on sale in November, but Marius caught one on the street and undisguised. His photos show of the "Zenith" windshield and may answer a design question about the rear bumper. The vehicle shown has a body-color bumper; assuming this is a production vehicle, this answers the question as to if the rear bumper would be partially black, or sport full paint.

Thanks for the shots, Marius!

Are Citroen/Peugeot having financial problems?

They seem to be awfully fond of reworking the same silhouettes. The shape of the car is exactly like the old C3, and that's not a good thing...

C3 vs A3, there's no competition when they are over 10,000 euros difference in price, and I'm guessing you mean the A6 Avant in front, it's not an A3 lol

BabyMilo, you can not compare it to a C3. the A3 is in a higher class, like to the C4. I'd even have the C4 over that boring hatchback.

Back on topic, I still think the C3 looks good for a shopping trolley.

I think it looks good and has an impressively classy dashboard... Citroen is becoming a real quality manufacturer again rather than the budget market it had slipped to. Well Done.
