Citroen

Citroen was founded in 1919 by a French industrialist, Andre-Gustave Citroen. Within a short time of its foundation, Citroen became recognised for its innovative technology because of the Citroen Traction Avant car. It was the world’s first front-wheel-drive car, seeing mass production. In addition, it was the first one to come with a unitary body type and no chassis to support the mechanical parts.

Innovative technology in Citroen cars

These are some innovative technologies seen in Citroen cars:

Hands-free tailgate

A hands-free tailgate allows individuals to open it with a gesture. One needs to swipe a leg below the boot to open the tailgate.

Unique door open alert

This unique feature proves beneficial for new drivers, particularly. A siren-like alarm will turn on if a driver stops the car and opens the door without placing it in Park mode. Also, a message comes on the instrument cluster that helps inform the driver to slot the gear lever in Park mode.

Customisable instrument cluster

A digital instrument cluster is present on Citroen C5 Aircross. But the unique part about it is that it allows one to customise the instrument cluster. It features modes like dials, personal, minimum, etc., adding a unique personality to a vehicle.

Blind-spot monitor

A blind-spot monitor is a valuable safety feature. It warns drivers regarding any car that can be in their blind spot. The mirror features a warning light that blinks depending on the distance between the vehicles.

Citroen Advanced Comfort technology

Since its inception, this brand has been at the forefront of automobile comfort. It includes the innovative Suspension with Progressive Hydraulic Cushions® Citroën C5 Aircross SUV. The brand’s benchmark in comfort is in the Citroën Advanced Comfort® programme, which aims to deliver superb comfort to passengers via the latest technology and innovative solutions.

Hydropneumatic suspension

Even Rolls-Royce purchased the hydropneumatic suspension of Citroen to use in Silver Shadows. This suspension was immensely smooth and stable. Besides, this system has another advantage - one can change the car’s height as necessary.
