The second and, as it turned out, last C1, revealed at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and built at the same Czech joint-venture plant as its predecessor.[1] It added a fixed-profile cabriolet body, the Airscape, with a folding fabric roof over the same three- or five-door shell.

Three petrol engines are recorded across the car’s life, ending with a mildly reworked 72 PS version of the original three-cylinder Toyota unit for 2019. Citroën discontinued the C1 in January 2022 without a direct replacement, as city cars of this size fell out of the European market; the nameplate’s whole run, both generations, is covered by this catalogue.
