Citroën C4 Aircross (2012)

  
CARBARN | Citroën C4 Aircross (2012) | No wonder car manufacturers one by one glance at this segment and the release of its flagship product to market. Citroen was also not want to miss to get into this crossover segment with the release of C4 Aircross recently. Unlike the Peugeot 4008 is appearing aggressive.

Citroën DS5 (2012)

  
CARBARN | Citroën DS5 (2012) | Citroën has revealed the eagerly anticipated third model in its innovative and distinctive DS line: Citroën DS5. Designed to express the full extent of Citroën's 'Créative Technologie', Citroën DS5 combines ground-breaking style, rewarding driving dynamics and exceptional refinement with innovative engineering solutions.



Citroën DS5 is the first Citroën model to feature HYbrid4 diesel hybrid technology, providing enhanced performance and class leading environmental credentials. The DS line has already redefined expectations in the supermini segment with DS3, and combines the style of a coupé and the flexibility of a five-door hatchback with DS4. Progressing to the executive segment, Citroën DS5 targets customers looking for a truly bold and assertive car with a resolutely modern approach to vehicle design.



The dynamic exterior reflects a modern expression of status and promises enhanced driving pleasure. Flowing lines, a sleek profile and muscular wheel arches - which wrap themselves around the large (16" to 19") alloy wheels - give Citroën DS5 an undoubted air of refined confidence. The assertive front end instantly identifies Citroën DS5 as a member of the DS family. A distinguishing feature, DS5 boasts chrome-finished 'sabre' inserts stretching from the top of each headlamp to the windscreen.



The rear design takes Citroën DS5's on-road presence to yet another level. The driver-focused cockpit features a coupé-like driving position with a near-vertical steering wheel and a wide central console. Citroën DS5 instantly fires the imagination. Most importantly, Citroën DS5 benefits from Citroën's expertise in quality and refinement. Reconciling fun at the wheel with comfort and practicality, Citroën DS5 opens up new horizons with pioneering architecture, including The cabin features ebony-coloured full-grain leather, contrasting subtly with silver-flecked overstitching. Citroën DS5 White Pearl also sports specially designed 20-inch alloy wheels.

Citroën Tubik Concept (2011)

  
CARBARN | Citroën Tubik Concept (2011) | With the launch of its Mulicity portal, Citroen established itself as a facilitator of mobility. Drawing upon its expertise and the best "Créative Technologie", Citroen has developed Tubik, a high-tech executive shuttle based on one key idea: travel should be fun. The Multicity project is the result of studies carried out by Citroen on mobility. This project is already a reality with the launch in France of Citroen Multicity, an online portal and routefinder that covers all available means of transport (car, train, plane, etc.) to make travelling easier.



Sociologists talk about "affective groups" to describe this change which includes blended families and groups of friends. Tubik was inspired by Citroen's renowned Type H, fondly referred to by the general public as the "TUB" (the name of its predecessor). Citroen design teams gave Tubik distinctive, offbeat styling, with colours and materials that aim to meet the highest standards in sophistication and comfort.



To make travel enjoyable again, Citroen Tubik creates a lounge-style cocoon dedicated to comfort and relaxation. The modular seats, designed to be arranged in many different ways (semi-reclined, face-to-face, etc.), and the onboard technology (including a giant, semi-circular screen, and high-definition spatialised sound) turn the cabin into an area for living and sharing. Providing generous space while keeping fuel consumption under control demands an innovative drive train. Hybrid4 technology solves the equation. With this full-hybrid technology and the efforts made to improve aerodynamic design, Tubik maintains CO2 emissions at a level comparable to a conventional saloon.



The design lines of Tubik are a nod to the Citroen TUB (from the French acronym for low front-wheel drive commercial vehicle) and its ingenious upgrade, the Citroen Type H, whose versatility and style made it a best-seller of its times (half a million units in 34 years on the market). The driver's door is rear-opening while the side door runs in a circle to free up the entire side of the vehicle.And as journeys generally involve luggage, the rear end conceals a cleverly designed hold.



When you get behind the wheel of Citroen Tubik, you enter a high-tech world designed around the driving position. This area is dominated by what Citroen designers call the "cyclotron", a system that groups - in one circular line - the seat, pedal assembly, steering wheel and circular head-up display The aluminium grey of the bodywork is also present on the cyclotron, to accentuate its robust, protective looks. The living area is a lounge-style cocoon. The living area features materials borrowed from the worlds of architecture and interior design: felt seats, silken backrests and door panels, and a leather floor. Passengers can arrange the three rows of seats as they wish. Each seat is independent for maximum comfort. The first row of seats lets two people sit facing the road or facing the other passengers. Passengers become spectators, taking advantage of the large multimedia screen in a semi-reclined position.



Citroen Tubik is not only an exceptionally spacious vehicle, it also has an eye on the environment. The full-hybrid diesel drive train increases vehicle range over an internal combustion engine and also maximises traction with its four-wheel drive mode (the front wheels being driven by the combustion engine and the rear wheels by the electric motor). Citroen Tubik is fitted with 22-inch wheels equipped with tall, narrow tyres with very low rolling resistance, in order to optimise fuel consumption. For a better compromise between comfort and roadholding, Tubik features hydractive suspension, a technology exclusive to Citroen.

Citroën DS9 (2012)

  
CARBARN | Citroën DS9 (2012) | Citroen has long been in the shadows of the Germans. The DS9, which is based off of the Metropolis concept, is the company’s attempt to move up market and challenge the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7-Series, Jaguar XJ, and the Audi A8. Another reason for this new machine is that Citroen is planning on entering Asia with this vehicle, as it’s the first design carried out at the company’s Shanghai-based design team. The name Metropolis was created for a reason. At 5.3 meters long and 2 meters wide, it’s longer than a long-wheelbase Mercedes S-Class and wider than a Maybach.



As you can easily notice, the design language is inspired by the Hypnos concept and was entirely developed by PSA Group’s Shanghai design studio. The DS9 blends stunning lines with smooth surfaces, which is most noticeable at the front where the sculpted wings and grille merge with the stunning bonnet. The rear of the DS9 takes the vehicles overall width and blends it with a stunning aerodynamic line. There will likely be some sort of voice activated navigation and an entertainment system with some rear seat luxuries like massage seats, a DVD player, and other private jet sort of stuff.



The Metropolis is powered by a hybrid drive train that combines a 2.0-liter V6 engine with an output of 272bhp and 277lb ft and an electric motor that develops from 55bhp to 95bhp. This combination will allow the car to run on electricity alone at lower speeds and on petrol alone when commuting. All that being said, PSA/Peugeot-Citroen has stated they will most likely ditch the hybrid in favor of a traditional engine range.



The motor will likely be connected to a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. As stated earlier, the competition for the DS9 will be the larger German sedans, the S-Class, 7-Series, XJ, and the A8. Exterior design is a matter of opinion, but we think the DS9 is stunning. 



CITROEN C1 (2012)


CARBARN | CITROEN C1 (2012) | The length of the new generation of C1 will be about 150 mm greater and reach to 3600 mm and will be aligned with the model Renault Twingo, considered by PSA Peugeot Citroën as chief competiton  Both models will be made together sToyota Aygo in the Czech town of Kolin, which is now produced the first generation of "triplets".




According to head of production of PSA, Besson Vincent (Vincent Besson), Citroën will be the brand that risk and going into more controversial areas in stylistic terms, while Peugeot will remain a more conservative brand. Two small car group will be a new engine with 3 cylinders, which in its atmosphere version will have a capacity of 74 hp The engine will have a version with a volume of 1.0 liters and 1.2 liters, the bigger engine will have an option of turbine that will power is 133 hp It will be installed and the new C3, there will be emissions of 95 g / km. 



The new engine will be made in the factory of PSA in the Pas-de Calais, where the group invested 175 million euros to start production of new three-cylinder engine.

Citroën C4

 
CARBARN | CITROEN C4 | This year another new citroen car out, its course offers a unique range of luxury facilities are very comfortable, the production of this car all the car the average play in the world rally racing,  The following report The front looks lightly menacing: Citroen describes it as ‘purposeful’. We’re not really sure of any other car front ends that aren’t serving the purpose of being, well, front ends. Perhaps there are renegade Volkswagen Golfs roaming the streets with cheeseboards and kitchen plumbing attached to the wheels.
 



Round the back, things turn decidedly Astra-esque. Which is fine if you’re an Astra, not quite so fine if you’re a funky French hatch. It’s certainly no minger, but Citroen’s on such a hot design streak at the moment that we might have expected something a bit more outre here. The C4 should be practical, though. In good news for short people, there’s a new low-loading boot sill. This deeper boot is also the biggest in its class with 408 litres, while the whole car is only marginally bigger than its predecessor (5cm longer, 2cm wider and 3cm taller).
 

If you’re of an earth-saving bent, you’ll likely be tempted by the new micro-hybrid e-HDI engine available in the new C4 featuring Stop & Start which helps deliver 109g/km of CO2, and just 99g/km on future models. Loads of fiddly bits inside help you customise the C4, such as polyphonic sound alerts, the colour of the instrument display, and something to adjust “the intensity of the air-conditioning system”. We are entirely unfamiliar with said device, and can’t wait to try it out. Citroen is also showcasing some new tech for the C4 in the form of a blind-spot monitoring system, cornerning lights, cruise control and a speed-limiter with road speed memory settings. No word on technology which turns the C4 into a 20ft high rollerblading robot with laser beams and guns, but we live in hope.
