PARIS – April 1, 2010: Citroen has announced a new Airdream+ range, thanks to the introduction of two environmentally sensitive and economically rewarding Airdream+ versions of C3 Picasso and C4 Hatchback. These two new models make up the range alongside the existing 99g/km New C3 Airdream+, which was launched at the start of the year.

With combined cycle fuel economy of between 62.8mpg and 74.3mpg, and CO2 emissions from just 99g to 119g/km, the Airdream+ range delivers low running costs and free first year VED.

Showcasing Citroën’s smart, ‘green’ technologies, Airdream+ models feature fuel-efficient HDi engines, ‘optimised’ gearbox technology and a focus on environmentally considerate engineering. They also come with an array of complimentary equipment, on top of the VTR+ specification on which they are based.

The Airdream+ range is powered by Citroën’s lauded HDi diesel technology - with New C3 and C4 models featuring the Company’s renowned Diesel Particulate Filter System (DPFS). An ‘optimised’ manual gearbox with a Gear Efficiency Indicator is specified on the New C3 Airdream+, and a fuel-saving Auto EGS gearbox features on the C4 Airdream+. A part-by-part focus on reducing overall weight, the use of 85% re-cyclable components and a number of ‘green’ materials during manufacture, also support the range’s ecological credentials.

Environmentally sensitive and economical to run, the Airdream+ range is also exceptionally well equipped, with all three Airdream+ models boasting additional equipment over and above the VTR+ specification - at no extra cost.

  • The New C3 Airdream+ gains rear parking sensors and a Connecting Box, which features Bluetooth® and a USB socket for portable music players.
  • The C3 Picasso Airdream+ also benefits from the Connecting Box, plus rear parking sensors, electric rear windows and electrically adjustable, heated and folding door mirrors.
  • The C4 Hatchback Airdream+ gains the Connecting Box and rear parking sensors, as well as automatic digital air conditioning (manual air conditioning is specified on the equivalent VTR+ model).
