Citroën and ELLE join forces again for a new special edition of the C3

Since its launch, the Citroën C3 has proven to be one of the most customisable models from the French manufacturer, which is why it serves as the basis for most of the special editions it presents, such as this one with the fashion magazine ELLE, a partnership that began back in 2018 with the C1 and also, precisely, with the C3, a limited edition of which over 9,000 units were sold worldwide.

For this new limited edition of the Citroën C3 ELLE, the French brand has taken into account customer demand data, which clearly shows that, thanks to its personalisation options, 60% of its sales in 2021 were two-tone bodywork. In addition, 40% of C3 sales corresponded to the Shine and Feel trims, which prioritise comfort and technology.

In this way, the new limited edition Citroën C3 ELLE will be available with two-tone bodywork, which can be chosen in the colours Banquise White, Acier Grey, Platinum Grey or Pearl Black in combination with a black or white roof, both colours chosen in reference to the ELLE logo. The colour Bleu Silver also makes an appearance as a contrast, an icy blue with metallic reflections that will feature on the fog light surrounds and the side Airbumps, as well as on the outline of the roof decals.

The Citroën C3 ELLE also features other distinctive elements that will tell you at a glance which edition you are looking at. To this end, the ELLE signature appears in white letters on a black border: “Since 1945 & forever”; on the roof, if you have chosen white, there is a decal with a matt finish, while if the roof is black, the matt border highlights the ELLE logo. Finally, the ELLE monogram, set in the brand’s typeface created in 1945, is included on the tailgate.

Moving now to the interior, we can see how Citroën has used light grey Prussian fabric upholstery for the seats on the C3 ELLE, while the upper part of the backrest features a contrast in a dark bluish-grey colour. The double chevron, the brand’s symbol, makes an appearance to separate the upper part of the backrest from the rest of the seat, as a decorative strip that adds bluish satin reflections. Furthermore, for the first time in a limited edition of the C3, its dashboard is trimmed in Alcantara in matt Wind Grey with a double vertical blue stitch.

The Citroën C3 ELLE uses the Shine trim as its base, but its equipment is further expanded to make this version even more attractive, with features such as a rear-view camera, electric windows, 17-inch Vector alloy wheels, tinted rear windows, chrome dashboard trim and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Mechanically, the C3 ELLE will be offered in Spain with the PureTech 110 CV petrol engine and a six-speed manual gearbox.

The Citroën C3 ELLE is already available to purchase in Spain through the Citroën Store, with a starting price of 20,415 euros. In addition, by purchasing this vehicle, customers can benefit from an additional 500 euros of savings.
