Vehicles exhibited

"Citroën C-Airdream" is a near-future 2+2 coupé concept car that was announced at the 2002 Paris Motor Show. The slick, large coupé body, attained by a quest for aerodynamics, achieved a Cd of 0.28(Cd. A=0.58m2). In addition, in most of the parts concerning vehicle control, the latest technology of drive-by-wires is implemented. The steering system, including the steering, throttle, brake, and gear shift, is integrated on the steering wheel.
For power steering, a variable ratio is adopted. For the suspension, "HydractiveIII," Citroën's original hydraulic suspension, is installed, and a V6 3-liter engine is mounted.

"Citroën C2" is the latest 3-door compact car that just made its debut this September at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show. In the compact car market in Europe, the 3-door model makes up 56% or more of the market share, and "C2" is expected to make a significant contribution to the further growth of Citroën. Though the body is compact with the full length being 3.66 m, it has a space large enough for four adults to move around comfortably. Its individuality is heightened by side windows having asymmetrical lines suggestive of dynamic driving performance, as well as by the interior having daring colors. The rear seat is easy to fold, and the right and left of the seat can slide separately: these characteristics make it possible to arrange the seat in a number of different ways. The rear hatch that opens and closes vertically enhances the usability of the boot.

"Citroën C3 Pluriel" is a unique model that is made possible only by Citroën: it is protean and capable of transforming its shape into a saloon, panoramic saloon, cabriolet, spider, and spider pickup by the arrangement of the removable roof. It made its debut in 2002 at the Paris Motor Show. In 2003 at the Geneva Motor Show, it was crowned with the "Cabriolet of the year 2003" Award. In addition to the new generation platform, the basic mechanism, including the suspension, power train, and electric power steering, is shared with "C3." Sales of it in Japan are scheduled for 2004, and a 1.6-liter engine and SensoDrive will be introduced. In the Citroën stand at the Tokyo Motor Show, demonstrations of the various roof arrangements will be performed.

"Citroën C3" is the latest compact car that has been developed by combining Citroën's technology and personality together with the esprit of France.

Its features include the aesthetically pleasing arch of the roofline, and the distinctive round, voluminous styling; the bright and spacious interior fully equipped with sophisticated accessories; high practicality and safety considered to the maximum, all of which are possible only in French cars. "C3" won the "2003 RJC Car of the Year Import" award, and it has earned an excellent reputation from various quarters. For the Japanese specifications, 1.4-liter and 1.6-litter engines are available. For this motor show, "C3 1.6" installed with a semiautomatic "SensoDrive" is being exhibited, and it is equipped with the optional leather seats and the large electric glass sunroof.

Furthermore, as a world premiere, the one and only "Citroën C3 Hermès" is being exhibited.
