The Citroën C3 is a compact vehicle launched in 2002 replacing the Citroën Saxo. The C3 was produced as a 5-door hatchback even though its first generation included a two-door convertible variant called the Pluriel. For the third gen, the C3 was also available as a two-door hatchback but was marketed as a premium variant under the name DS3. The Citroën C3 has been available in a wide range of petrol and diesel engines sending power to the front wheels through manual or automatic gearboxes.
