Small but significant changes, guarantees Citroën. Meet the new C-Elysée here.
Citroën has just unveiled the veil of its new C-Elysée today, a three-volume saloon that since its launch in 2012 has known how to make a difference in the French brand, both commercially – more than 400,000 units sold – and in terms of competition – 3 Constructors' World Champion titles in the FIA WTCC Championship. Therefore, it is with great expectation that Citroën presents this new evolution of the C-Elysée.Renovated design
p>Originally designed to enhance its 3-volume image, the C-Elysée now adopts a new completely redesigned front section . The new bumper, more integrated into the brand's design language, offers it greater strength and amplitude, together with the LED headlamps, the new grille and the chrome chevrons. In the rear section, the C-Elysée features 3D-effect headlamps, characteristic of the Citroën signature. The two new tones for the bodywork – Lazuli blue and Acierque gray (in the pictures) – replace Teles blue and Aluminum grey.

Also highlighted are the 7-inch touchscreen, the instrument panel (with a new graphics) and, in the most equipped versions of the range, a new matrix in shades of white that gathers driving information.Comfort, habitability and technologies
If these were already the strengths of the Citroën C-Elysée, they're better off with this new update. With a luggage capacity of 506 litres, this saloon maintains one of the highest values in the segment, without prejudice to the compact appearance on the outside.
