Citroen's UK sales rose by more than three-quarters in the first half of 2026, with over 16,500 cars registered and market share climbing to 1.45% year-to-date, according to the latest SMMT figures. That growth follows a renewed range across the C3, C3 Aircross, C4 and C5 Aircross. Every model in Citroen's current UK line-up, from the compact Ami through to the nine-seat SpaceTourer, is now available with a fully electric powertrain. At Vertu, our colleagues can talk you through the full new Citroen range and help you find the right car for your budget and daily drive.
That range builds on more than a century of French engineering. Citroen was founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen, and the brand's double chevron badge traces back to the helical gears his earlier engineering business produced before the first car ever left the factory. That heritage now sits alongside a genuinely modern line-up, with Citroen's comfort-focused approach to design carried through petrol, hybrid, plug-in hybrid and fully electric power.
Citroen's UK range splits naturally into four groups: an ultra-compact city car, a pair of comfort-focused hatchbacks, two practical SUVs, and a pair of family MPVs built for bigger households.
The Ami gives you the simplest way into city driving: a 100% electric micro-car with a WMTC-tested range of 46.6 miles. That's enough for a daily school run or commute without ever visiting a fuel station. A full charge takes under four hours from a domestic socket. With a turning circle of just 7.2 metres, Citroen describes the Ami as fitting into half a standard parking space, which makes finding somewhere to leave it in town far less of a chore. A panoramic glass roof and a choice of colour packs let you personalise the cabin. With a simple automatic drive selector rather than a manual gearbox, it's as easy to drive as it is to park.
When it comes to the C3, you get Citroen's Advanced Comfort Suspension from PLUS trim upward. Progressive Hydraulic Cushions smooth out potholes and speed bumps before they reach you, and a Head-Up Display comes as standard, keeping key information closer to your eyeline. The C3 is available as a fully electric e-C3, with a Standard Range battery offering up to 202 miles WLTP, alongside turbo petrol and hybrid options returning up to 59.2mpg.
The C4 steps up in size, with an e-C4 Extended Range battery reaching up to 271 miles WLTP alongside petrol and hybrid variants. Its Hybrid version emits as little as 107g/km of CO2, placing it in VED Band F, and COLLECTION trim adds Alcantara upholstery with a six-way, massage-function driver's seat. Both cars come with Citroen's Safety Pack fitted as standard.
The C3 Aircross, petrol or hybrid, grants you the option to acquire seven seats in a compact SUV, useful for carrying more than five people, without necessarily stepping up to something bigger. Its electric e-C3 Aircross Extended Range offers up to 249 miles WLTP, while the Hybrid returns up to 57.4mpg.
Citroen C5 Aircross moves up again, with a 40-20-40 split-folding rear bench, two-position boot floor and under-floor storage for genuinely flexible loading. Its electric range reaches up to 323 miles WLTP on the Comfort Range battery and up to 423 miles WLTP on the Long Range, with 20-80% DC rapid charging in as little as 27 minutes. The Plug-In Hybrid Citroen C5 adds up to 50 miles of WLTP electric-only range, for those not yet ready to go fully electric.
Berlingo and SpaceTourer deliver genuine van-like space, while still driving like a family car. Both get twin sliding side doors as standard, making it easier to load children, shopping or luggage from either side, even in a tight space.
Berlingo seats up to seven in its XL body, with up to 1,050 litres of boot space with all seats in place. The electric e-Berlingo offers up to 212 miles WLTP, with a rapid charge from 0-80% in around 30 minutes. SpaceTourer goes further still, with up to nine seats standard on its YOU! trim, and the electric e-Spacetourer offers up to 216 miles WLTP combined. Diesel power remains available on both, for drivers who need maximum range on longer, loaded journeys.
Choosing between Citroen's powertrains comes down to how and where you drive. The table below breaks down how each works and who it suits best.
| Powertrain | How It Works | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Petrol | A turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine, fitted across the C3, C3 Aircross, C4 and Berlingo ranges, with no plugging in or charging required. | Drivers who want straightforward, familiar motoring |
| Hybrid | Combines a turbo petrol engine with an electric motor that recharges through regenerative braking alone, fitted across the C3, C3 Aircross, C4 and C5 Aircross Hybrid ranges. | Drivers wanting improved efficiency without ever needing a plug |
| Plug-in Hybrid | Adds a larger battery, charged at home or at a public point, for pure-electric driving on short trips with petrol power in reserve. Available on the C5 Aircross, with up to 50 miles of WLTP electric range. | Commuters wanting electric-only short trips with a longer-range back-up |
| Battery Electric | Runs on stored charge alone, spanning the WMTC-tested Ami through to the e-C5 Aircross Long Range, with WLTP ranges reaching up to 423 miles on WLTP-tested models. | Drivers ready to go fully electric, from city trips to longer journeys |
Every current Citroen model shares a consistent approach to comfort and technology, whichever size or powertrain you choose.
Regardless of the Citroen car selected, Advanced Comfort travels with you. Progressive Hydraulic Cushions in the suspension pair with extra-padded Advanced Comfort seats, so bumps and road imperfections are absorbed before they reach you, rather than jolting through the cabin. It's a mechanical solution rather than a digital one, which is part of why it feels consistent across every model that carries it.
You get Connect ONE fitted for ten years across the range, covering geolocation, health and maintenance alerts, and over-the-air software updates. Connect PLUS adds features such as find-my-car and, on electric models, a charging-station finder, while a separate e-Remote Control app handles charge scheduling and cabin pre-conditioning. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard across the C3 through to SpaceTourer range, so your phone links up the moment you get in.
Citroen's Safety Pack is standard equipment across the range, bringing together Active Safety Brake, Lane Keeping or Lane Departure Warning, and Speed Limit Recognition. A Driver Attention Alert camera is also included, designed to work quietly in the background.
Higher trims add further touches depending on the model: ambient lighting, wireless charging pads, a Head-Up Display where it isn't already standard, and heated seats or steering wheel. The C5 Aircross MAX adds a heat pump on electric variants, to protect range in colder weather.

Citroen's UK range has been renewed across almost every segment, with New C3, New C3 Aircross, New C4 and New C5 Aircross all launched as part of a refreshed line-up. Every one of these models is available with a fully electric powertrain alongside petrol, hybrid or plug-in hybrid options.
That renewed range has driven passenger car sales up more than three-quarters year-on-year in the first half of 2026, according to the latest SMMT figures.
Every new Citroen comes backed by a three-year manufacturer warranty as standard, extendable to eight years or 100,000 miles through Citroen's We Care programme simply by servicing with a Citroen dealership. That structure gives new-car buyers reassurance that builds over the life of the car.
Citroen's position as part of the wider Stellantis group also means shared engineering and technology with sister brands, backed by a UK-wide dealership and servicing network.
No, though they are closely related. Peugeot and Citroen are sister brands under Stellantis, the group formed in 2021 from the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. They share some underlying technology and platforms.
Each brand keeps its own design team, model range and identity, with Citroen's focus on comfort-led design setting it apart from Peugeot's sportier positioning.
Citroen cars are made by Citroen, a French automotive brand founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen. The double chevron badge traces back to his earlier business manufacturing helical gears, before he turned to car production.
Today, Citroen operates as part of the Stellantis group, continuing to design and build cars under its own name from its French roots.
Vertu operates Citroen dealerships across the UK, making it straightforward to see the current range in person or book an appointment nearby. Full details for each dealership are linked below.
We have dealerships including: Burton, Derby, Harlow, Northampton, and Worcester. Harlow also has a dedicated Citroen service centre.
Yes. Citroen currently offers a fully electric version of every model in its UK range, from the two-seat Ami through to the nine-seat e-Spacetourer. WLTP ranges span from around 130 miles on the entry-level e-C3 up to 423 miles on the e-C5 Aircross Long Range, depending on model and battery.
Every new Citroen comes with a three-year manufacturer warranty as standard, made up of two years of unlimited-mileage cover plus a third year capped at 60,000 miles. Citroen's We Care programme extends that by up to five further years, to a maximum of eight years or 100,000 miles, simply by having your Citroen serviced at a participating dealership.
Electric models add a separate eight-year, 100,000-mile battery warranty covering 70% capacity retention.
The Citroen badge is a double chevron, and it dates back further than the cars themselves. Founder Andre Citroen ran a business manufacturing double helical, chevron-shaped gears before entering car production in 1919, and he chose the same chevron shape as his new company's emblem.
The badge has been updated several times since, but the double chevron has remained the constant thread through every version.
A Citroen Hybrid never needs plugging in, recharging its battery through regenerative braking and the engine alone. It's available across the C3, C3 Aircross, C4 and C5 Aircross ranges. A Citroen Plug-in Hybrid, currently offered on the C5 Aircross, adds a larger battery you charge at home or at a public point.
That larger battery unlocks up to 50 miles of WLTP electric-only range before the petrol engine takes over.
It depends on family size. The C3 Aircross suits smaller families well, with its optional seven seats on petrol and hybrid variants. The C5 Aircross adds more comfort and a flexible 40-20-40 split rear bench for larger, awkward loads.
For bigger households, Berlingo offers up to seven seats and SpaceTourer up to nine, both with twin sliding doors that make loading children and luggage easier from either side.
Yes. Citroen's UK passenger car sales rose by more than three-quarters year-on-year in the first half of 2026, reaching over 16,500 cars and a market share of 1.45%, according to the latest SMMT figures.
Electric car sales grew even faster, up 48% year-on-year, reflecting the pace of Citroen's renewed, fully electrified model range.
