CITROEN has introduced two new diesel supermini models to take advantage of what it sees as a burgeoning sector. The C2 1.4 HDi Design at £9,395 and C3 1.4 HDi L at £10,345 will increase the firm’s offering in a part of the market that grew by 10% last year.

They are both powered by a 70bhp 1.4-litre HDi common rail diesel engine, which gives in excess of 65mpg on the combined cycle, with CO2 figures of only 107g/km and 109g/km.
