Citroen C4 Seduction, DS3 DSport score extra features

For a limited time, the $24,990 petrol automatic and $27,990 e-HDi diesel EGS variants of the C4 Seduction will come standard with dual zone climate control, automatic headlights and wipers, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, reverse parking sensors and electric folding side mirrors.

The $22,990 petrol manual and the $26,990 HDi diesel manual Citroen C4 Seduction variants are not included in the offer.

The extra features come on top of those already fitted as standard to the Seduction variants, including front foglights with cornering function, cruise control with speed limiter, leather-bound steering wheel, and a six-speaker audio system with USB input and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

Teamed with the four-speed automatic transmission, the 82kW/160Nm 1.6-litre petrol engine accelerates from 0-100km/h in 13.9 seconds and uses 6.9 litres of fuel per 100km.

The 82kW/270Nm 1.6-litre diesel with the single-clutch EGS (electronic gearbox system) automated manual transmission hits 100km/h from rest in 11.3 seconds and sips 4.2L/100km.

Citroen Australia has also announced Citroen DS3 DSport models ordered with two-tone exterior paint will come with two-tone leather interior upholstery for no extra cost for a limited time, saving customers up to $2000. The DS3 DSport is priced from $33,290 driveaway.

The DSport is powered by a 115kW/240Nm 1.6-litre turbocharged petrol engine that launches from 0-100km/h in 7.3 seconds and uses 6.7L/100km.

Sales of both model lines have increased significantly in Australia this year from modest figures in 2011, with the C4 up 75 per cent (from 185 to 324) and the DS3 up 89 per cent (from 63 to 119).
