TAKE a look at Citroen's first plug-in baby. This is the C-ZERO – a fully fledged zero emission electric car that will reach Citroen showrooms next year. If it looks familiar that's because it's essentially identical to Mitsubishi's i-MIEV and the Citroen version gets the same drivetrain, with a 64bhp electric motor powered by a lithium-ion battery.

The all new 2010 Citroen C3 is now officially revealed by the French automaker showing off a striking design and many new features. The new generation C3 is far more aggressive than previous model which was literally an egg! It is pretty funky as all Citroens are, but because of some nice detailing it looks very elegant, which is a rare treat in the world of small hatchbacks.

Citroen’s new Fiesta challenger is shaping up nicely – just ‘C’ for yourself! These are the first spy shots of the new C3, which will make its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Aiming to take the supermini market by storm the new small car gets a curvy body that takes some of its inspiration, especially the headlights and trapezoidal grille, from the stylish DS3 – Citroen’s upmarket MINI rival, and a car that boasts the same all-new front-wheel drive platform.

Citroen ace Sebastien Loeb is on course to claim a record fifth world crown, following a dramatic win on Rally New Zealand.

Citroen looks content to carry on in its quirky ways with its latest concept, the Hypnos hybrid utility vehicle. Residing squarely in the same vein as new coupe-like crossovers like the BMW X6 and Infiniti FX models, the French machine goes that extra step towards the crazy house. From the renderings in our gallery below, the front doors appear so long and exagerated that the rear portals bottom-half is taken up entirely by the wheel wells. Things get even stranger from there with jewel-like seats and a DNA-style double-helix center section adorning the interior.

Calling a very small car a "roller skate" has been an ongoing joke for many years. We've been hearing it since the days of the Nash Metropolitan, through the Geo Metro years, right on up through today, many times in reference to the smart fortwo. Judging from the photograph above, though, somebody has gone and taken the joke to a whole new level.

We're driving, driving, driving like it's nineteen-ninety-nine. Well, not exactly, but Citroën says that owners of its cars in the UK may actually be driving for less money per mile on average than they did eight years ago. Here in the states, gas was über-cheap in the year 2K, but in the UK, where both petrol and diesel has always been more expensive, the price was quite a bit steeper due to fuel protests in September of that year. In fact, Citroën claims that the increased efficiency of its models more than makes up for the increase in the price of gas that took place between the year 2000 and today, even when adjusted for inflation.

Now that the 2008 Beijing Motor Show is underway, we’re getting a chance to see how a lot of those sketches and renderings we saw ahead of the festivities translate into actual cars. One of the concepts we were curious about was the collaborative effort between Citroën and sports apparel maker Kappa. Not only is the red-and-white C2 Kappa concept faithful to the drawing released last month, it’s also pretty cool.The C2 Kappa is lowered and fully kitted, sporting a unique front fascia that tones down the base car’s oversized headlamps and adds aggressive Kappa-emblazoned grillework below the bumper.

The new Citroen C5 is closely based on the C5 Airscape concept, first seen at the 2008 Frankfurt show. And in design terms it is very obviously influenced by the Teutonic feel of the Airscape.

Mechanically it is closely related to the C6, however, so in essence what we’re talking about is a cheaper, more traditional-looking version of the excellent (and quirky) C6.

In its marketing spiel for the C5, Citroën claims its new Mondeo rival is “Reassuringly German. Unmistakably Citroën.” Considering how overtly ‘French’ Citroën has appeared over the years, it’s surprising and perhaps also a touch disappointing to discover the influence of Germany within the genes of the all-new C5.

Look closely and you can detect it in most aspects of the car. Not merely in its admittedly handsome Teutonic looks but also in its marketing thrust, its interior… you name it, the C5 oozes with calculated Germanic appeal.
