Citroen announces prices and specs for online C-Series cars
Citroen has announced pricing and specification for its new C-Series trim level aimed directly at online buyers.
The new trim is available on three of the brand’s best-selling products - the C3 hatchback, C3 Aircross compact SUV and the C5 Aircross SUV - as part of a new “fair pricing” strategy that simplifies its price structure.
