Welcome to the Citroen Car Club
The Club for Citroën enthusiasts everywhere
For more information, telephone 07000 248 258
We've been looking after Club members since 1949 so we know what we're talking about when it comes to Citroën the marque, its heritage and that elusive ingredient that makes these cars so special, even today. Clearly, it's a combination of our name, reputation and experience that accounts for the 4000+ Citroën vehicles in our ranks. In fact, it's probably fair to say that many of the older models wouldn't be on our roads today if this Club hadn't provided timely expert advice and technical camaraderie to model owners during this period. But times have changed and now it's not just technical advice that matters to our members. We see more and younger members joining us with sporty Saxos, wicked C2s, trendy C3s, family C5s and spacious C8s. In fact there are as many new cars as air-cooled ones in our ranks, although the older classics and affordable (5+ years old) do make up the majority today.
Regardless of your choice of Citroën model, we're sure you'll find something for your needs within our Club services today.

Citroën has continued its record run at the British Insurance Vehicle Security Awards (BIVSA) with a further six awards received at the 2009 ceremony. Awards have been presented for models from both the car and van ranges, and Citroën was voted ‘Best Van Manufacturer’ overall. The latest honours mean Citroën has now won a total of 20 accolades since the awards were launched six years ago, an unprecedented achievement unrivalled by any other vehicle manufacturer.
Both the C6 and C4 Picasso Exclusive scored an awards hat-trick, picking up the top spots in the Executive and Compact MPV classes for the third year in a row, whilst the C5 Exclusive and C4 Exclusive continued their domination of the Family and Small Family car categories.
With the introduction of ‘Van’ classes for 2009, Citroën’s LCV range was also honoured with the C-Crosser Enterprise winning the 4x4 category and, thanks to the high standard of security across Citroën’s entire van range, the Company was also awarded the ‘Best Van Manufacturer’ Award. Committed to providing reassuringly secure transport for commercial vehicle drivers and operators, Citroën’s Smartnav package is offered as standard across most of Citroën’s van range and includes stolen vehicle tracking to locate the vehicle in case of theft. This is in addition to a host of available features to deter thieves, such as deadlocks, immobilisers and alarm systems. The C-Crosser Enterprise is also fitted with protective side windows panels to guard against ‘smash and grab’ opportunists.
Citroën’s use of laminated glass on more of its cars than any other manufacturer has helped keep the Company at the top of the BIVSA awards list. The glass and plastic film construction enables the vehicle windows to maintain their integrity, even after numerous blows, keeping occupants and contents safe and secure.
Gary Savage, Managing Director of Citroën UK Ltd, commented: “Citroën’s unrivalled success at these prestigious awards is a fantastic acknowledgement of our efforts in producing some of the safest and most secure vehicles on the market today. A continuing dedication to developing and improving our security technology, in both Citroën’s car and van ranges, will ensure customers not only benefit from a wide choice of award-winning, reassuringly secure vehicles, but also the satisfaction of money-saving, low insurance ratings.”

Citroën has released first details of an advanced 3.0HDi V6 240hp engine to be introduced to the C5 and C6 ranges later this summer. The unit is the most powerful production engine in the history of the Marque.
It delivers the neat trick of offering more power and improved performance, alongside better fuel economy and lower CO2 emissions. The new engine improves fuel economy by 13-17% and reduces CO2 by 12-15%, compared to the current 2.7HDi V6 208hp unit.
With advanced new engine technology, the new V6 diesel incorporates the third generation of Citroën’s common-rail direct injection system and offers drivers a refined driving experience with its quiet operation and more efficient performance. Delivering an abundance of torque, the new V6 diesel provides exceptional driving pleasure for every-day motoring.
Fuel saving features in the new engine include a piloted alternator, which recovers energy during deceleration and braking. The engine also fully complies with future Euro V standards, ahead of the compulsory introduction to production vehicles in January 2011.
Mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox, the powerful and efficient unit means drivers can now benefit from up to 38mpg on the combined cycle. Highlighting Citroën’s continuing commitment to the environment, not only does this engine come with a Diesel Particulate Filter System (DPFS) for an ultra-clean exhaust, but CO2 emissions are also reduced to 195g/km.
The improved emissions also put both new C5 and C6 V6 diesel models into the lower Tax band J, creating a saving of £325 on cars registered in the 2010/11 RFL period.
Old 2.7HDi V6 208hp Auto
C5 - 33.6mpg combined, 223g/km CO2
C6 - 32.5mpg combined, 230g/km CO2
New 3.0HDi V6 240hp DPFS Auto
C5 - 38mpg combined (+13%), 195g/km CO2 (-12%)
C6 - 38mpg combined (+17%), 195g/km CO2 (-15%)

The Electric Car Corporation Plc launches the Citroën C1 ev’ie
The UK’s first 4 seater ‘all electric’ production car
The Electric Car Corporation Plc (ECC) announces the launch of the UK’s first 4 seater, ‘all electric’ production car, which is available to buy today.
The launch coincides with the Government’s announcement to support and subsidise electric car use and their commitment to make the UK ‘a world leader’ in producing and exporting electric cars. This is further supported by the London Mayor, Boris Johnson, who has announced his plan to introduce 25,000 ‘juice points’ (charging stations), for electric cars throughout the city.
Called the Citroën C1 ‘ev’ie’, this is the first all electric, 4 seater car, to offer the purchaser the comfort, performance and a full range of standard safety features expected from a petrol car. With a range of 60-70 miles when fully charged and a top speed of around 60mph, it provides the driver with a pleasant and completely “normal”, yet silent, driving experience, but at a fraction of the running costs.
The C1 ev’ie can be fully charged in 6-7 hours from a domestic 13 amp socket at a cost of around 90p, making it an ideal city car for either professional or domestic use.
The Citroën C1 ev’ie is assembled in the UK from the donor car. Over 50% of the value of the car originates from the UK assembly, creating UK employment and a technology leadership in electric vehicle production. ECC expects to produce around 500 C1 ev’ies over the next 12 months, rising to between 2,000 and 4,000 units in 2010, dependant upon demand and government support.
Xavier Duchemin, Managing Director of Citroën UK commented, “We are committed to providing greener alternatives for motorists and are delighted to be supplying ECC with C1s for this exciting project.”

 The first visible fruit of the new Citroen identity and "Créative Technologie" is also the first sign of the return of the DS.
Not as a particular model, a "new DS", a C5 or C6 replacement, but as a premium brand, "characterised by forthright choices on styling, onroad performance and use. These are accessible objects of desire, cars that stand apart by their creativity, intelligent design and build quality, embodying the very best of CITROËN."
In the same way as the mainstream models are identified with a C model nomenclature, and the people carriers with the Picasso tag - these premium models will be identified as "DS".
Three models are planned initially - DS3, DS4 and DS5 - with the DS3 coming in 2010. The first sign is the DS Inside concept car, to be seen in detail at the 2009 Geneva Show. Click here for more details.
