c2 1.6hdi vts

Citroën has announced the arrival of the 110 horse power C2 1.6 HDi VTS - an exciting new diesel hot hatch that offers an unbeatable combination of punchy performance, low emissions and money saving fuel economy of well over 60 miles per gallon.

The sports styling emphasizes the performance qualifications of the new model, which is the first diesel supermini to sport the VTS insignia.

With its refined 110hp 1.6HDi engine, and 5-speed manual gearbox, this new C2 boasts a 0-62mph time of 9.4 seconds and a top speed of 120mph. It also delivers 80% more torque than its petrol stablemate, with 192lb.ft available at just 2,000 rpm.

Importantly, the C2 1.6HDi VTS also has excellent green credentials. Offering a frugal 64mpg on the combined cycle and with C02 emissions of just 119g/km, the new VTS model presents an environmentally conscious alternative in the hot hatch market. This means that the model falls into one of the Government's lowest bands for Vehicle Excise Duty - Band B.

Complementing its sporty image, environmental credentials and fun-to-drive handling, the 1.6HDi VTS model has the same impressive specification as the petrol version. Air conditioning, ESP, four airbags, an alarm and ABS with EBD are all standard, while smart 16” ‘Cheetah’ alloy wheels are also fitted.
