Citroën C2


Variable-assistance electric power steering

While maintaining easy handling in the city, the C2 is equipped with an electric power steering system that varies power continuously as a function of vehicle speed and guarantees a high level of driving pleasure on all types of road and at any speed. An electronic unit provides smooth and gradual control of the level of assistance. The power steering combined with the small turning circle (9.60 m between kerbs with 14-inch wheels), offers a level of driving pleasure that is truly exceptional for urban use.

Occupant protection

Complementing the new platform, the C2 features a wide range of safety equipment including reinforcing bars in the doors, a steering column that retracts over 50 mm, four front and side airbags plus two curtain airbags (depending on the version).





COMPACT EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS AND A SPACIOUS INTERIOR

The exterior dimensions of the C2 position it squarely in the middle of the compact 3-door vehicle segment. Measuring 3.66 m in length and 1.66 m in width, the C2 is a tall car that stands 1.46 m high. As a result, it combines all the requirements of compact design with a bright and airy interior and the excellent interior space of the C3 at the front.
At the rear, the sliding seats make it possible to adapt passenger space and boot volume to the needs of the moment. Rounding out the range of features provided for comfort and driving pleasure, the C2 includes a function that automatically locks the doors and boot when the car is moving, as well as – depending on the versions – electronic parking assistance and power-folding rearview mirrors.
