Citroën C-Elysée is a compact car produced by the French manufacturer Citroën since 2012, introduced at the Paris Motor Show the same year. It is closely related to the Peugeot 301, launched the same year. It was facelifted in November 2017.
Its saled were targeted in the first instance in Eastern Europe, South America and North Africa, but it was also sold in Spain, Portugal, Greece, and since March 2016, in Italy, Germany and France, three of Europe's largest car markets.
From 2014, it began production in China, as a successor to the Chinese market Citroën Elysée, by the joint venture company Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën Automobile.
The C-Elysée shares its dimensions with the 301, and is available with 1.2 VTi 72 hp, 1.6VTi 115 hp and 1.6HDi 90 hp engines, and 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmissions.
It is slightly larger than all of the other contemporary subcompact car-based models from the European, Japanese and South Korean manufacturers, being equal only to the Honda City (which is not distributed in Europe, where the C-Elysée is primarily sold).
In 2013, Citroën Racing created a new sub-division, the Citroën World Touring Car Team, in order to begin to run in addition in the 2014 World Touring Car Championship. The name Citroën C-Elysée WTCC has been chosen for the race car running in this world competition. It was developed in a few months, thanks to the experience of the Citroën World Rally Team.
The Citroën World Touring Car Team won fourteen victories out of the fifteen first races of the 2014 WTCC season, in spite of the handicap of the 60 kg Compensation Weight put to the leading cars. The Citroën/Total WTCC Team won the Manufacturer's WTCC Championship, 5 races before the end of the season, after the 2014 Shanghai first race, where Citroën recorded a magnificent one-two-three-four. The Citroën World Touring Car Team pilots also got the three first ranks of the Drivers' World Touring Car Championship.
