The SensoDrive gearbox more
widely available
The
market launch of the C2 is an opportunity to extend the use of the
SensoDrive gearbox to the 1.4i engine, alongside the 1.6i 16V engine.
The SensoDrive is a robotised manual gearbox with two modes of use:
manual and automatic. The driver can choose either automatic, by a
button on the central console, or manual, using the paddles behind the
wheel or the manual gear lever.
Running gear, brakes, ABS, ESP…
The
running gear is similar to that of the C3, but it has been adapted to
the new characteristics of the C2, including weight and aerodynamics.
The C2 also offers a high level of active safety equipment including
ABS with electronic brakeforce assistance, emergency braking
assistance, automatic illumination of hazard warning lights, ESP and
traction control. The driver can therefore undertake long journeys with
complete peace of mind. The wheel size ranges between 14 and 16 inches,
depending on the engine and the level of trim.
