Encyclopedic overview
The Citroën C2 is a supermini car which was made by the French company Citroën from August 2003 until October 2009. It is a three-door hatchback with a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout and was produced at the Aulnay factory on the outskirts of Paris. Along with the Citroën C3, the C2 replaced the popular, but ageing Citroën Saxo. The C2 and C3 have relatively different designs however retain the same dashboard, allowing Citroën to sell cars in different submarkets of the supermini class. The C2 was designed by Donato Coco. The C3 was originally designed as a larger "family-friendly vehicle", with its five doors, whereas the C2 aimed to project a "young driver" image with two doors and flatter styling. The C2 was discontinued in October 2009, and replaced by the Citroën DS3 in January 2010.
Unlike the Saxo, with 2 of 5 stars from Euro NCAP, the C2 achieved 4 out of 5 stars.
