Citroen is extending its C1 city car range with the introduction of a new C1 Furio, offering young drivers an affordable, sporty looking car.

The C1 Furio will go on sale in the UK from 1 August, with prices starting from £10,855 on the road.

Available as a three-door hatchback, the new model was designed to appeal to younger drivers wanting a sporty look, but without them having to pay a premium for a more powerful engine. Two powertrain options are available with a manual gearbox: a three-cylinder VTi 68 or the £11,205 PureTech 82.

Based on the existing ‘Feel’ trim level, the Furio benefits from the addition of black 15-inch ‘Planet’ alloy wheels, bold exterior graphics, plus Sunrise Red door mirrors and wheel centre caps to provide an eye-catching contrast to the Lipizzan White or Carlinite Grey metallic body colour paint options. A rear diffuser and centred exhaust outlet complete the revised exterior.

Inside, it benefits from the addition of ‘Wave’ grey cloth upholstery and a rev counter.

The new C1 Furio joins Citroen’s long line of motor sport inspired small cars, including the 1990s Saxo Furio, plus cars like the AX Sport and C2 ‘by Loeb’.
