CITROËN ON SHOW AT GENEVA
26 February 2006 - Citroën UK Ltd

With its fabulously funky two-seater concept car, C-AirPlay, a hybrid C4 HDi demonstration vehicle and a new powerful and torquey 2.2 HDi diesel engine for its C5 range, Citroën is showing a variety of concepts and demonstration vehicles alongside the Company’s real world model range at this year’s Geneva Motor Show

Making its debut at a major International Motor Show, the fresh and futuristic C-AirPlay city concept car features a bold, dynamic exterior look, as well as plenty of ultra-modern styling cues inside and out.

See-through ‘portholes’ in the lower sections of the doors are just the tip of the design iceberg. Inside the car, discreet, touch-sensitive controls for the gears and electric windows are moulded into the single-piece silicone front seat, whilst the eye-catching steering wheel incorporates two spherical driver information displays.

Citroën’s environmentally inspired C4 Hybride HDi is a test bed of advanced technology designed to reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions. It features a 1.6 HDi diesel engine coupled to an electric motor plus a particulate filter and Stop & Start technology. The result is a C4 that can stretch a gallon of fuel for a remarkable 84 miles whilst keeping CO2 emissions to just 90 g/km.

Alongside these, Citroën is also unveiling a new 173 bhp 2.2 HDi diesel engine that’s been developed between PSA Peugeot Citroën and Ford. Fitted to the C5 hatchback and estate models, this powerful engine will be mated to a six-speed gearbox and will offer plentiful low-down torque for excellent real world performance.
