Prior to its public appearance at the Paris Motor Show in September, Citroen has unveiled and released details pertaining to the new DS3 Cabrio. This variant will be manufactured at the Poissy plant in France and will be put on sale in European countries by next year. The DS3 Cabrio has been designed on the basis of its closed top-model which has done brisk business with registering sales of 180,000 units in the last two years.
The dimensions of the Cabrio have been kept the same with its length, breadth and height being 3.95m, 1.71 m and 1.46m respectively. The main difference in this model is that the roof has been designed so as to incorporate a folding canvas top. In such a case, the roof rolls back, though the sides of the body including window sections are intact. This roof can be folded and unfolded by using button controls on the ceiling of the car.
Using these controls one can open / close the roof within 16 seconds. The roof can be set in three position viz., fully open, horizontal and intermediate. There are soundproofing materials that have been added on the underside of the roof so as to provide superb acoustics when it's closed. These acoustics can be compared to the DS3 hatchback mode.
31 LED lights and semi reflecting mirrors provide a 3D lights effect, while the chrome handle on the top of the tailgate adds an elegant look to the rear of the vehicle. The car is available in 10 shades while the roof can be ordered from a range of 3. There are one 1.4 and two 1.6 petrol engines as also two 1.6 diesel engine versions which will be the powerhouse of the DS3 Cabrio. It boasts of a large boot capable of packing in 245 liters.
