Citroen FAQs

Citroen is a particularly good car brand if you’re living in, or close to a metropolitan area thanks to their agile handling and short wheelbase platforms that make them user-friendly in and around cities. 

The Citroen C3 was the eleventh best-selling car in Europe in 2022, making it one of the most popular compact vehicles on sale on the continent, and the fourth best-selling car in its home market of France.

Citroen became part of the PSA Group back in 1976 when it joined up with domestic rival Peugeot, and had its headquarters based in Paris. In 2021, the PSA Group merged with Stellantis, and has its headquarters based in the village of Poissy, France.

Most of Citroen’s lineup, however, is not designed to be a luxury vehicle, instead, they’re designed to be charismatic, easy and comfortable to drive and perfect for trips around town, giving buyers a healthy amount of variety within the range.

Citroen is considered a special car brand thanks to a number of factors, namely its lengthy pedigree of manufacturing vehicles since 1919, unique and, at times, timeless designs for its road cars, innovative features like hydraulic suspension systems way back in the 1970’s with the DS, and its hugely successful World Rally Championship results. 

One of the most famous Citroen vehicles is the 2CV, has become a collectors’ item, while the C6 that became the chosen mode of transport for the French President.
