The Citroën C2 is a supermini produced by the French manufacturer Citroën since 2004.

Along with the Citroën C3, the C2 was intended to replace the popular Citroën Saxo. The two cars have relatively different designs allowing Citroën to grab different sub-markets of the supermini class. The C2 was designed by Donato Coco.

Versions

The L model is the "no-frills" version of the C2 and comes with basic equipment, including black plastic bumbers and no fog lamps.

The Design includes body-coloured bumpers, electric windows. The SX is a little better equipped, featuring Citroën's unique Stop & Start feature which cuts out the engine whilst stationary, saving fuel and cutting emissions.

The Furio, VTR and VTS are the sports models which have made the Saxo famous for affordable, sporty-looking and very fast 'pocket rockets'. The Furio is available with SensoDrive, a paddle-shift transmission recommended amongst C2 owners. It has exactly the same sports body kit as the more expensive VTR and VTS models but lacks the alloy wheels of those models.

The VTR also has a quick 110 bhp engine, whereas the VTS is the premium sports model, with a 125 bhp engine capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 7 seconds.

2004's limited edition GT model offered a slightly less sporty bodykit, albeit with bright red, blue, silver and black paintwork and unique white alloy wheels. All GTs had a number certificate to show their authenticity.
