Managing Director, Chris Graham, Citroën Ireland commented: “The new Citroën C3 is the most significant launch for Citroën in Ireland in the past six years, offering a stand-out new option for customers in the B-hatchback segment. We are very excited about the potential of the new C3, offering such a high level of technology and a host of stylish options at a competitive price, we expect it to attract many new customers to the Citroën showrooms. This one is a real show stopper, so I would encourage customers to contact their local dealership so they can be one of the first to test drive this impressive new C3.”
