Citroen scoops the honours

Citroën has been honoured at the Carbuyer Best Cars Awards 2018, winning two headline accolades at a prestigious ceremony in central London. New Citroën C3 Aircross Compact SUV took the hotly-contested ‘Best Small SUV’ title, while Grand C4 Picasso picked up the ‘Best Seven-Seater’ award for the third consecutive year.

The recently launched C3 Aircross was praised for its unique personality, versatility and class-leading boot space. The Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, already a firm family favourite, was recognised once again for its comfort, superior spaciousness and versatile interior.

Carbuyer announced its ‘Best Cars’ for 2018 at the Curzon Bloomsbury Cinema in London. The awards celebrate the best cars in the UK and are driven by traffic to the popular Best Cars section on the Carbuyer website, meaning the award categories are effectively selected by Carbuyer users. The winners in each category are then chosen by members of the dedicated Carbuyer road-test team, who score the vehicles in a number of areas, including running costs, performance, reliability and safety.

Stuart Milne, Editor at Carbuyer, said: “New Citroën C3 Aircross is the latest in a line of funky cars from Citroën, a transformed brand brimming with confidence. It looks different to anything else on the road and sports a stylish interior that’s bursting with personality. It’s also one of the more spacious compact SUVs and has a big boot – perfect for growing families – and that seals the deal for our Best Small SUV for 2018.”

The wins made for a total of five Carbuyer Best Cars victories for Citroën. For more information about New Citroën C3 Aircross, Grand C4 Picasso and C4 Cactus, visit: www.citroen.co.uk.
