Citroen announce new Airdream+ range

Following the success of the C3 Airdream+ earlier this year, Citroen has announced the introduction of two new Airdream+ models for the C3 Picasso and C4 Hatchback.

The two new environmentally friendly Airdream+ models will feature Citroen’s fuel-efficient HDi engines and new ‘optimised’ gearbox technology. The ‘green’ models also come with an array of complimentary equipment including rear parking sensors, digital air conditioning and folding door mirrors.

Prices for the new C3 Picasso Airdream+ start from £14,645 on-the-road and will benefit from Citroen’s Connecting Box - which features Bluetooth® and USB socket – as well as rear parking sensors, electric rear windows and electrically adjustable, heated and folding door mirrors.

The C4 Hatchback Airdream+ is priced at £18,345 on-the-road and gains the Connecting Box, rear parking sensors and automatic digital air conditioning.

The existing 99g/km C3 Airdream+ also gains some new equipment including rear parking sensors and Connecting Box. Prices for the 2010 model start from £14,590 OTR.

All models in the Airdream+ range will be powered by Citroen’s HDi diesel technology with Diesel Particulate Filter System. The cars will also use 85% recyclable components and a number of ‘green’ materials to support Citroen’s ecological credentials.

The new Airdream+ range boasts excellent fuel economy and CO2 figures with a combined fuel cycle of between 62.8mpg and 74.3mpg, and CO2 emissions from just 99g to 119g/km. The VED is also free for the first year on all Airdream+ models.
