The Citroen name is synonymous with comfort, ingenuity and style. Many of today’s common features in cars, such as disc brakes, front-wheel-drive and diesel engines, were popularised by the brand.
Models such as the delightfully charming 2CV, first introduced in 1948, have become icons of French culture and maintain a community of committed daily drivers to this day.
After a century in the industry, they manage to continue putting fresh ideas forward, especially in the design department. Whether you loved or hated some of their more avant-garde designs over the years, there’s no denying that the manufacturer manages to produce extremely comfortable cars - so comfortable in fact, that they get referred to as ‘living rooms on wheels.’
If you’re after a unique, chic and conveniently cosy car for yourself, there are plenty of head-turning Citroens available at Vertu.

Why Choose a New Citroen?
- Style – Unlike their fairly uniform competitors, Citroen go bold with their designs and even their colour options, allowing drivers the option of a unique, quirky and eye-catching car with no sacrifice of modern amenities or reliability.
- Comfort – globally renowned for their prioritisation of comfort, Citroen ensure that drivers and passengers are equally content, with seats designed to absorb vibrations, cushiony suspension, as well as cabin layouts that simplify the driving experience.
- Storage and space – for practicality and storage solutions, Citroen remain undefeated – cup holders and cubbyholes line their cars, providing ample space for families to stay entertained and organised on their journeys.
- Budget-friendly options – Compared to other models of similar sizes, Citroen tend to offer a cheaper, comfier, no-nonsense alternative that is often more unique and more appealing to families.
Popular Citroen Models in the UK
Citroen Ami
Citroen have had some standout designs over the years, from the DS to the Picasso, they have always pushed boundaries - their newest head turner is undoubtedly the Citroen Ami.
Really, it’s not a car at all - it is technically a two-seater, light electric quadricycle, and while it’s not intended for use on motorways, it certainly suits zipping around the inner city.
The Ami is so genuinely fun, you can’t help but smile when you see one, and its tiny size makes it an entertaining drive, as well as a breeze to park.
Despite its scale, the concave dashboard provides useful stowage space, and its huge door bins are sizable enough for handbags, backpacks and laptops.

Citroen Berlingo
The Citroen Berlingo is unmatched for practicality, versatility and comfort - there are two lengths available, with the option of five or seven seats.
The Berlingo offers a hard-wearing interior alongside its ample boot space, with 775-litres of storage, expanding to 3,500-litres with seats folded. For the larger version, it is an already impressive 1,050-litres, expanding to an unbelievable 4,000-litres.
The boot is square with no obstructive lip at the entrance, and the opening matches the width of the boot floor, making loading up cargo refreshingly easy, whether that’s suitcases, buggies, wheelchairs or anything in between.
There’s the choice between petrol, diesel or the E-Berlingo, which is available in two trim levels, and boasts a range of up to 212-miles (WLTP) with the 50kWh battery.

Citroen C3
The Citroen C3 combines SUV-inspired design with plenty of fun touches. It is confident, practical and eye-catching, with a geometric face and square angles that give it a more timeless look than its predecessors.
The two-tone paintwork, alongside the short overhangs and lined wheel arches, makes the car a charming and resilient character.
The increase in size from previous versions allows for more headroom, legroom and even elbowroom, giving you more space to stretch out in its ‘Advanced Comfort’ seats.
Cheaper than its rivals, the Citroen E-C3 is the perfect electric city car for those prioritising space. It is also visually identical to the petrol version, so if you like the looks of the petrol, you’ll like the electric too.

Citroen C3 Aircross
The Citroen C3 Aircross manages to fit up to seven seats in a hatchback-sized package, at a very reasonable price. You also get the same upright, boxy silhouette as the C3 with its rugged-looking front grille and SUV style.
Five-seater models have the rear bench pushed back, giving impressive rear legroom, on par with other much larger and much more expensive SUVs.
For those needing to install child seats, the extra legroom and ISOFIX points make it a lot easier than in other models.
The C3 Aircross is ideal if you are charmed by the regular Citroen C3 but need more room and that added practicality in the rear seats.
Like the other models, you also get the delightfully soft suspension, meaning all passengers, big or small, get a comfortable ride.

Citroen C4
Still a hatchback, not quite an SUV - the Citroen C4 is a fascinating fusion that maintains the boxy front end, undeniably French stylings and stands out proudly from the crowd with the new Citroen roundel on its nose.
Citroen aren’t attempting another ‘sporty hot hatch’ like others, they are prioritising comfort first, as they always have done. Despite this, the C4 still looks sleek and smart.
The C4 beats out similarly sized hatchbacks in the price department, offering a very comfortable cruise with their ‘Progressive Hydraulic Cushion’ suspension, providing a stable but very soft ride.
Physical button lovers will also be overjoyed to know that the essential controls are right within reach from their luxuriously comfy seats, as Citroen have also prioritised simplicity and ease.

Citroen C5 Aircross
Citroen describe the C5 Aircross as the ‘ultimate comfort experience,’ with a premium-feeling cabin, efficient engines and better battery options.
The new LED headlights, daytime running lights and protruding taillights give it a confident and modern look, and square-topped wheel arches add some unique styling.
Overall, the car maintains a quirky, undeniably Citroen appearance, without compromising on rationality and practicality.
Boot space is up to 651-litres, or 1,985-litres with the rear seats folded down. They also fold down in a useful 40:20:40 split, allowing you to seat one or two rear passengers and keep long cargo, such as a Christmas tree or flat-pack furniture, between or beside them.
It is designed to suit everyday driving as well as longer journeys, with DC rapid charging supported in the electric Citroen E-C5 Aircross for added convenience while on the road. Although with a range of up to 322-miles (WLTP), there may not be as many stops as expected.

Citroen SpaceTourer
Topping the list for practicality is the Citroen SpaceTourer, offering an unbelievable capacity of up to nine passengers, with generous legroom for all.
The SpaceTourer, described as an ‘electric rolling lounge,’ also boasts acoustic insulation and excellent visibility for passengers, creating a relaxing environment and reducing the stress of long journeys.
For the driver, a 10-inch instrument cluster comes as standard, along with wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and natural voice recognition, meaning you can control key functions without taking your hands off the wheel.
With its fluid silhouette, bold upright front end and sculpted bonnet, SpaceTourer has a classy and confident character, and is even available in lovely Metallic kapari green paint.
