The Citroën C1 is a city car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën since June 2005.[1] The C1 was developed as part of the B-Zero project by PSA Peugeot Citroën in a joint venture with Toyota.

The Peugeot 107 is mostly identical to the C1, other than the front bumper and front and rear lights, while the Toyota Aygo is slightly more differentiated.

All of them are built at the facilities of the TPCA joint venture (Toyota Peugeot Citroën Automobile) in the city of Kolín, Czech Republic. The project was presented for the first time at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. The cars are four-seater, three-door or five-door hatchbacks.

The C1 is powered by a 1.0 L three cylinder engine, which has a fuel economy of 61.4 mpg (UK gallons EU method; 4.6 L/100 km EU method; ca 43.4 mpg US with US method) or a 1.4 L four cylinder diesel engine which has a fuel economy of 68.9 mpg (UK gallons EU method; 4.1 L/100 km EU method; ca 48.8 mpg US with US method).

The body was designed by Donato Coco in a one-box configuration. On both the five door C1 and 107, though not the Aygo, the rear tail light cluster extends from the edge of the rear doors to the rear window, without a visually expressed "C-pillar".

According to the German magazine Der Spiegel, the C1 is the production car with the second-best fuel economy both among petrol engines (after the Toyota Prius)[2] and among diesel engines (after the Smart ForTwo).[3]

In January 2010, PSA Peugeot Citroën announced that it was recalling "under 100,000 units" of the C1 and Peugeot 107, following the worldwide recall by Toyota for a faulty sticking accelerator pedal – which the Aygo is affected by. Under certain circumstances, the pedal can stick in a partially depressed position, or return slowly to the off position.[4]

Designer Franco Sbarro created a modified C1 named the GT-C1, a design concept that follows the same theme of his previous Xsara Picasso Cup Concept. The extreme bodywork feature very wide wheels and gullwing doors alongside a modified 1.6L engine from the C2 VTS and C4 WRC-derived brakes.[5]

In Portugal and Greece, a commercial van version called the Entreprise is offered, equipped with the 1.4L diesel engine and available only in the three-door body, for urban use. Its 107 sibling also offers an identical version.[6]

Trim levels were also refreshed – basic Vibe models became 'VT', and Rhythm became 'VTR'. Seat fabrics and ventilation control graphics were also changed, and all models received new wheel trims.

However, it featured air conditioning, a CD player and electric front windows. The Splash model was available in Electra Blue or Lipizan White. Electra Blue came with white door mirrors, whilst the Lipizan White came with glossy black door mirrors.
