Citroen headed for 2014 Paris Motor Show at full throttle, the C1 Urban Ride Concept joins the party

Citroen is moving at full throttle for the Paris Motor Show and have a fleet of new models and concepts to introduce at the show. The C1 Urban Ride is a hot crossover concept which joins the party of C4 Cactus Airflow, the DS Divine, DS3 and DS3 fashion inspired version. The all new C1 Urban Ride is officially announced as a concept but it looks like a real production version based on the C1 city car.

The most likely competitors of the C1 Urban Ride will be Vauxhall ADAM Rocks, and ADAM S. In this concept Citroen combines the small city car parts with the 15mm extra high riding base and 10mm wider track.  It has relatively heavy bumpers with plastic claddings, and colourful skid-plates.

Daytime running LED lights are also included in the new package. Citroen has stated that two versions will be displayed at the Paris Motor Show, where the first will be a hard-top version and other one will be a fabric roof. The fabric-roof version is likely to rival the Airscape version of Vauxhall that has air soft top.

Citroen confirms that there are no major engineering modifications required under the body shell expect the cosmic exercise that Citroen says “illustrates the potential [of the C1’s] personalisation”. The all new Citroen C1 Urban Ride will make its production very soon, said Citroen officials.
