Citroën C-Elysée & Citroën C4 L

The Citroën C-Elysée & Citroën C4 L are two new Citroens aimed at budget compact saloon buyers in emerging markets.

Citroen C1 gets insurance ‘Black Box’ as standard. Orwellian control arrives.

Citroen say the ‘Black Box’ fitting is so they can offer free insurance to buyers, with anyone from 19-75 getting a year’s free insurance with every C1 as long as they have at least two years no claims bonus.
