The cars all gain keyless entry, a start button, cruise control with a speed limiter and an auto-dimming interior rearview mirror.

The C3 is the entry-point B-segment crossover hatch and is powered by naturally aspirated and turbocharged 1.2l petrol engines mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. Interior amenities include a 10″ touchscreen infotainment system, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Safety is looked after by six airbags and an electronic stability programme.
