Information that Citroen is going to begin manufacture of cars under a new brand, proves to be true. At once some sources inform that Frenchmen wish to do new "budgetary" cars in cost less than 10 000 euros under brand Essentiele. And the car made on motives concept С-Cactus which has been shown for the first time in 2007 will be the first model here.
Alas, but to expect that to a series will go С-Cactus, would be too naive. Too unusual then the model at Frenchmen has turned out. Therefore the new car will bear a faint resemblance only С-Cactus. According to the British magazine AutoExpress, new Citroen will be issued as 5-doors hatchback, and car dimensions will appear hardly more than at babe С2.
It is interesting that the new car prepare from the beginning to complete not only usual petrol and diesel motors, but also hybrid installation. And, the hybrid will unite a diesel engine and the electric motor! Is called even the estimated cost of such car – nearby 15 000 – 18 000 euros. And if it is the truth diesel engine-electric Citroen becomes the cheapest hybrid in the market.
