If you're in the market for a car that's stylish and affordable, then a used Citroen C1 is a great choice. The cost of buying a C1 is lower than most other cars, and its size and efficiency make it cheap to run, making it an ideal option for a young or new driver.
Through the years, there have been both petrol and diesel engines available, with a manual or automatic gearbox and standard front-wheel drive.
PetrolThe Citroen C1 excels in navigating congested city traffic, but it does sacrifice some interior room to accomplish that.
Interior spaceCitroen released the C1 in 2005 as a low-cost option that was closely related to the Toyota Aygo and Peugeot 107. It was offered with three or five doors, and went through two generations before being discontinued in the UK in 2022 so that the company could focus more on larger vehicles with electric and hybrid configurations.
The basic design of the C1 remained the same with the new generation except that the air intakes became more noticeable and LED daytime running lights were installed in the bumper. Paddle shifters became available with the semi-automatic (EGS) transmission, and a new infotainment system was released.
The goal of the new generation was to bring forth unique styling that further differentiated the model from the Toyota and Peugeot equivalents. For the C1, the change meant narrower headlights and a larger front grille.

The 1.0-litre petrol engine is the most popular in the C1. It's extremely efficient with a rating up to 58.9mpg, and it produces 70bhp, which is more than enough for such a small car.
There have been numerous trim levels over the years, including the Urban Ride, Shine, Flair and Furio. In the used market, the Flair tends to be the most popular with its leather steering wheel, reverse camera, 15-inch alloy wheels and electrically adjustable wing mirrors.
Customers should look out for a used C1 with the Active City Brake technology. This autonomous emergency braking system includes traffic sign recognition and lane departure warning to provide even more safety and peace of mind.
While the rear seats in C1 aren't going to be comfortable for tall adults on a long drive, it does make a decent car for families with small children. The rear seat can accommodate children easily, especially when choosing a five-door hatchback, and there's enough boot space for a few bags of groceries.
Citroen didn't make the C1 in a hybrid configuration. The model was discontinued in 2022 so that the company could focus more on creating hybrid and electric vehicles, but the C1 wasn't one of the models that was going to be changed over. Instead, it has been offered in both petrol and diesel models.
Yes, it is possible to find used examples , but it's not as popular and can be difficult to find in the used market. Technically, it's classed as a semi-automatic, meaning you can change gears yourself manually using paddles on the steering wheel if you prefer.
Citroen didn't make the C1 with a four-wheel drive configuration, which isn't unusual considering its small size. As with most cars from this segment, the only option is front-wheel drive, which is perfect for city navigation.
