CITROENC1 3 doors 2012 - 2014

　　Like its siblings, the Peugeot 107 and Toyota Aygo, Citroen improved the C1 for the second time during its first generation with mild exterior and interior updates.

　　When PSA (Peugeot-Citroen) and Toyota joined forces to develop their city-segment representatives and build it in the Czech Republic, they aimed for fuel-efficiency and easy-to-park vehicles. Citroen introduced the first generation in 2005, and it was supposed to replace it in 2012. Due to the world financial crisis, the two big partners decided to postpone introducing a new generation and offered just a facelifted version for the 2012 model.

　　On the outside, the most visible change for the C1 was the introduction of the LED daytime running lights incorporated into the front bumper. For those, the carmaker had to change the front bumper completely and included side black areas where the optional fog-lights were included. Like the original model, the 3-door C1 featured pop-out rear windows for better interior ventilation.

　　Inside, the C1 offered room for four occupants, if the rear ones were smaller children. The carmaker didn't even try to install three head-rests in the back. It was clearly a 2+2 vehicle. Citroen offered the tachometer in the instrument panel options list, but it changed the CD-player and the center stack's top with an open storage compartment. Previously, the C1 featured a box with a lid on it.

　　Under the hood, the revised engine range deleted the diesel engine and kept only the 1.0-liter, naturally aspirated gasoline unit. Citroen paired it with a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automated version.
