Detailed analysis of the Citroën C3 BlueHDi 75 S&S Feel · 75 CV (2016-2018)
General description
The 2017 Citroën C3 is not just another car in the crowded supermini segment; it's a statement of intent. It was born to break the mold, betting on an overwhelming personality and a ride comfort that evokes the brand's heritage. With its efficient 75-horsepower BlueHDi engine, it was presented as a logical and, at the same time, deeply emotional alternative for those looking to stand out and enjoy every journey.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the word that defines the C3 is well-being. The suspensions, tuned to prioritize comfort, filter out road imperfections with a smoothness that isolates you from external stress. It's not a car with sporty reactions, but a faithful companion for daily life. Its 75 hp diesel engine, although modest in numbers, feels willing at low revs thanks to its good torque, ideal for the city and quiet highway trips, where its extremely low consumption becomes its greatest virtue. Driving it is a relaxing experience, a rolling sanctuary.
Design and aesthetics
This is where the C3 wins hearts. Its aesthetic is bold, optimistic, and unique. The two-tier light signature, its rounded shapes, and above all, the unmistakable side 'Airbumps', give it an unmistakable character that sets it apart instantly. It's not just a means of transport, it's a style accessory, a car that seems to smile and promises to protect you with its friendly and robust design. It's a breath of fresh air in a world of cloned designs.
Technology and features
In its Feel trim, the C3 offered technology focused on the useful and the ingenious. Beyond a decent infotainment system for its time, its masterstroke was the ConnectedCAM. This camera integrated into the rearview mirror allowed capturing photos and videos of the trip with a single touch, a brilliant idea that connected the driving experience with the world of social media. Additionally, it featured essential driving aids and a Stop&Start system that emphasized its urban and efficient vocation.
Competition
At its launch, the C3 faced giants like the Renault Clio, the SEAT Ibiza, or its cousin, the Peugeot 208. While most of its competitors fought to offer the most dynamic feel or the last tenth in performance, the Citroën played a different and brave card: that of absolute comfort and design with soul. It positioned itself as the choice for those who valued a serene journey and a car they could identify with more than a purely sporty drive.
Conclusion
The Citroën C3 BlueHDi 75 is proof that sensibility is not at odds with emotion. It's a smart buy for its incredible efficiency and practicality, but it's a passionate choice for its charismatic design and the sense of refuge it conveys. It's a car that takes care of you, consumes little, and brings a smile to your face every time you see it. A loyal companion that shows that daily mobility can and should have a soul.
