1. CITROËN C3 ELLE: STYLISH AND ELEGANT

  • A MEETING BETWEEN TWO WORLDS OF STYLE

Loyal to the brand signature, "Inspired by You”, CITROËN C3 ELLE is aimed at customers looking for a contemporary car with personality, a bold design, comfort and today's technologies.

Directly inspired by working women and their lifestyles, CITROËN C3 ELLE is a fresh, colourful vehicle, full of vitality. This special series is the result of a meeting between the worlds of two French brands, guided by feminine elegance, optimism and the ambition to make everyday life easier. Modern and dynamic, C3 is the ideal car to experience urban living with style and vitality.

These values are shared with the ELLE brand, as part of the partnership linking it to Citroën. Another aspect of this cooperation is the ELLE Active Forum in France ("ELLE Women in Society"), whose aim is to showcase the role of women in the workplace. Linda Jackson, CEO of Citroën, was invited to the event last March.

  • FEMININE ELEGANCE

A practical, compact vehicle with five doors and of limited length (3.99m), CITROËN C3 ELLE maintains its generous curves and graphic signature. Its style and unique personality are underlined by real potential for personalisation with the "ELLE" Colour Pack.

On the outside, CITROËN C3 ELLE sports the two-tone body style preferred by 60% of C3 buyers. The Soft Sand roof of this special series is an exclusive feature. It is allied as standard with Polar White bodywork and Gloss Black door mirror housings. Four other body colours are available as an option: Perla Nera Black, Soft Sand, Platinium Grey and Arctic Steel, along with a second variant for the roof: Onyx Black.

Sitting squarely on its 17" CROSS diamond-cut alloy wheels (optional), CITROËN C3 ELLE also features touches of anodized Cherry Pink on the fog lamp trim, Airbump® surrounds and quarter light decals.

From a visual standpoint, CITROËN C3 ELLE also includes distinctive roof graphics with a central trim feature, and an aluminium badge on each front door with the name of its host, ELLE magazine.

The cabin of CITROËN C3 ELLE features an original ambience – also called ELLE – which further underlines the close fit between Colours and Materials on the inside and the outside. This is the work of Hélène Veilleux, Head of Colours and Materials for Citroën. Inspired by the world of interior furnishings and travel, the presentation meets high standards of quality and finish with a leather gear lever knob and steering wheel. The horizontal lines of the seats showcase the Curitiba Grey upholstery and Cherry Pink top-stitching. At the same time, the dashboard with its marl grey trim and wide anodized Cherry Pink surround add to the feeling of onboard comfort and space. The special front and rear mats feature Cherry Pink edging and an ELLE label.

2. CITROËN C3 ELLE: COMFORTABLE AND URBAN

  • THE CITROËN ADVANCED COMFORT PROGRAMME®

Citroën has given the C3 ELLE series a particularly relaxing ambience for all those who like to feel "at home" in C3. As soon as you get into the car, you feel very much at ease with the visual and physical comfort of the seats. CITROËN C3 ELLE is generous and welcoming with ingenious storage compartments including a 6.25 litre glovebox and 300 litres of boot space.

Based on the top-level SHINE trim, the special series CITROËN C3 ELLE ships as standard with a range of useful technologies designed to make the driver's life easier and to contribute to safer driving. Alongside the features found on the SHINE version, such as power folding door mirrors, Automatic air conditioning, Mirror Screen, Visibility Pack, Hill-start assist, Cruise control-speed limiter, Lane departure warning and Speed limit recognition with speed recommendation, this special series goes even further, in partnership with ELLE. It includes a reversing camera, to make light work of manoeuvres in the city, the CITROËN Connect Box with the SOS and assistance Pack, CITROËN Connect Nav with a 7” touchscreen and voice recognition to guide you through urban traffic, and the Safety 2 Pack including the Active Safety Brake, Driver attention alert, Collision risk alert and Automatic high beam switch. The ConnectedCAM Citroën™, a fully integrated and connected wide-angle HD camera connected, is ideal for capturing your best driving moments and sharing them live on social media.

  • EFFICIENT POWERTRAINS

For everyday comfort and driveability, C3 creates a cocoon effect that filters out the external world and cushions the occupants from the road. The CITROËN C3 ELLE special series features a range of new-generation efficient powertrains of advanced performance.

CITROËN C3 ELLE comes with a choice of two petrol engines: PureTech 82 and PureTech 110 S&S. The most powerful of the two can be mated to the new-generation 6-speed automatic gearbox (PureTech 110 S&S EAT6) for exceptional driveability and smooth, fast gear-changing. A BlueHDi diesel engine developing 100 bhp (BlueHDi 100 S&S Manual) is also available.

The CITROËN C3 ELLE special series is already available for order in France from €18,500. It is an original city car that is both stylish and comfortable, like the working women who read ELLE magazine.
