Exterior of the new hatchback Citroen C1 2018-20219

The appearance of the second generation Citroen C1 2019-2020 is peculiar and not immediately familiar. The front of the hatchback received the most changes, instead of large and open optics, the designers divided it into two separate ones, like the Nissan Juke. The main optics are round with highlighted lenses, while the second part of the optics is made in the form of eyelashes and gives the new Citroen C1 2018 a more evil style. In it, the designers have implemented dimensions and direction indicators. For two options, halogen lamps served as the basis; unfortunately, LED optics are not provided by the manufacturer.

Center front Citroen C1 2019-2020, like the optics, is divided into two parts. The upper part is occupied by a pseudo-grille with a characteristic logo of the company, the lower part is reserved for the radiator grill, which is also the main one for cooling the engine. In addition to cooling, this grille has a panel for license plates and several sensors for security systems. In addition, the designers decided to highlight the side bumper of the Citroen C1 2018 by installing LED running lights in small vertical recesses.

The hood of the city hatchback Citroen C1 2018-2019 is small, as it should be for this kind of cars. To give more anger to a small car, two sharp lines were set on the sides from the optics to the front struts. The hatchback windshield is normal, but the upper part has a small wrapped part, although it falls short of the panoramic glass. As for the heated windshield, only in the top configuration of the Citroen C1 2018 partial heating is available in the area of ​​the wiper parking.

Side part city ​​hatchback Citroen C1 2018-2019 depends on the configuration, the buyer is offered to choose between a 3-oh or 5-door option.

Another nuance of the rear doors of the Citroen C1 2018-2019 is the complete absence of any power windows, the reason is in the door frame itself and its dimensions. Since the window lifter cannot be installed due to the size of the rear door of the Citroen C1 2018, the designers made the usual window, similar to those that are installed on large SUVs or crossovers. As they say, it is both convenient and practical, in fact it is much better than dull glass at all.
