Citroen C1 facelifted

This is the new, facelifted for 2012, Citroen C1. In addition to the more obvious physical changes, the new C1 will cost £700 less than the outgoing model when it arrives in April this year. 

LED lights have been added to a body that will now come with a greater choice of colours for the outside and a greater choice of cloth materials for the inside. 

The higher spec models will likely be a lot more expensive than the lowest VT trim level and so will not drop much in price, however the car in its most basic form is nonetheless a significant amount cheaper than it was, while looking better as a result.

Detroit Auto Show - Vauxhall reveals new Mokka

Vauxhall has revealed a totally new car, the Mokka, set to compete with the Nissan Juke/Ford Kuga class of cars. To be sold in America as the Buick Encore, the Mokka will arrive in the UK in November this year.

The car measures 4.28m long x 1.645m tall, so although it looks a little like a tall Corsa, it is in fact a much larger car, differing greatly from the supermini. It will however use the Gamma II platform which the next generation Corsa will be based on.

There will be several engines available, both petrol and diesel. The petrols will include a 1.6-litre, 117bhp motor and a 1.4-litre turbo producing 142bhp. Customers will also be able to choose a 1.7-litre CDTi turbodiesel with 132bhp and 221lb ft of torque.

The standard car will be front-wheel-drive but the car will be available in 4x4 specification. All cars will come with start/stop technology and the turbos will be available in either six-speed manual or automatic configurations.

Although it will be related directly to the new Corsa, the Mokka boasts promising amounts of space - with the rear seats folded it provides 1372 litres of load space and 533 with them up.

The car will be fitted with 18-inch wheels and as well as the usual driver assists the Mokka will use hill start assist, hill descent control systems with adaptive forward lighting and even the option of a front-facing camera.
