Focus on the Infotainment System of the 2026 Citroen C3

The new Citroen C3 is equipped with an infotainment system featuring a 10.25-inch touchscreen suspended in the centre of the dashboard. The display has a glossy finish that tends to reflect, but the surface helps to use it without issues. The software is simplified and streamlined, unlike that of the Lancia Ypsilon or the DS4, making it more fluid and responsive. The homepage is essential: at the top, you find the time, date, screen off, and volume (touch only). The radio has intuitive controls for changing stations, tuning into FM/DAB, and adjusting audio settings (equaliser, balance, fader, speed-dependent volume). Bluetooth activates easily and allows you to connect your phone. Apple CarPlay (via USB-C cable or wirelessly) and Android Auto are also available. The USB-C port is located on the side of the screen, a bit hidden but functional. The menu offers language, factory reset, software updates (via USB), display brightness (adjustable with lights on), and Bluetooth device management. You can customise the clock and date format. The dashboard is a simplified black and white LCD, with a fuel gauge on the left, digital speedometer in the centre, and customisable information on the right (temperature, odometer, trip A/B, range). The steering wheel has controls for cruise control, volume, voice command, and a quick button to disable speed limit chimes, lane keeping, and start/stop. From the infotainment system, you can manage driver assistance, emergency braking, driver attention warning, and tyre pressure reset. Maintenance shows deadlines (e.g., in 7 weeks or 24,800 km).
