Citroën C2




INGENIOUS AND PRACTICAL

MODULAR DESIGN BECOMES CHILD’S PLAY

The C2 features an ingenious design concept through which the rear part of the vehicle can be adapted to the needs of the moment. The two independent rear seats, controlled by a support strap, slide or fold “portfolio style” without any effort on the part of the user. The rear seats pivot and fold up against the back of the front seat at the press of a button. This unique system provides the basis for a wide range of configurations, enabling the C2 to carry three adults in the car while ensuring generous load space. Practical and easy to use, the rear seats can also be folded and removed from the boot.

A TWO-PART TAILGATE TO MAKE THE BOOT ACCESSIBLE IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES

The C2 makes everyday life simpler. The original design of the two-part tailgate was designed to ensure easy and convenient access to the boot:

• The upper tailgate, which is smaller, can be opened easily in a tight space. In situations frequently encountered in the city (car parked near a wall or bumper to bumper, for example), this design makes it possible to open and access the boot. This feature, identical to that of the C3 Pluriel, is new in this segment. The upper tailgate of the C2 is more than just a rear window that is designed to open. Opening the window also draws out the parcel shelf to offer complete access to boot space. The electrically controlled opening mechanism can be activated with a fingertip. The tailgate is light enough to be opened and closed easily.



• Opening the lower tailgate makes it possible to place heavy objects, to provide support for loading or to sit down (loads of up to 100 kg). Closing the tailgate makes it possible to use the entire height of the boot and thus to gain significantly greater loading space than with a conventional tailgate. It also features a neat closed stowage compartment with a capacity of 5 litres, which can be used to hold personal belongings or a vehicle tool kit. This compartment is accessible in both the open and closed position of the lower tailgate.
