Bigger, more assertive
After reaching 200,000 sales within two years of its release in 2017 and following succeeding the C3 Picasso, Citroën’s urban SUV opened wide the door to a segment which gradually replaced that of the minivan in the French.

Citroën would have decided to give space at the level of the wheel arches, which enlarges and strengthens the ex-small SUV.
