History & Heritage

Citroen was founded in 1919 by André Citroën, and is headquartered in Paris, France. Over the decades the brand has grown from its early roots into a name recognised by drivers around the world, shaped by its engineering choices, design language and the people who build and drive its cars.

Understanding a manufacturer's heritage helps put its current cars in context. Each generation of Citroen models reflects the priorities of its era, from mechanical layout and powertrain technology to safety systems and interior comfort. The specifications on this site let you trace how Citroen vehicles have evolved in size, power and equipment over time.

Mission & Vision

Mission: To make bold, comfortable and affordable cars centred on customer well-being.

Vision: To be the most people-minded, comfort-focused mainstream car brand.

The brand is often associated with its slogan, “Inspired by You”, which captures the character it aims to deliver in every model.

These guiding principles influence everything from how Citroen engineers its platforms to the way it prices and equips its cars, and they are a useful lens when weighing up a Citroen against rival brands.

These figures are essential when you are judging performance potential, interior space, efficiency and everyday practicality.

Comparing Citroen specifications across models makes it easy to see the trade-offs between a smaller, lighter car and a larger, more powerful one. Dimensions affect how a car parks, corners and carries passengers and luggage, while engine and transmission details hint at how it will feel to drive. Reading the numbers alongside real owner reviews gives a rounded picture before a test drive.
