Citroen Lease Deals Across the Full Range

Citroen has picked a lane and committed to it, which is comfort. Advanced Comfort seats and Advanced Comfort suspension are fitted as standard across the range rather than hidden in a top trim, and that is genuinely unusual. Most brands make you pay for the good seats. On a Citroen the cheapest car in the range gets them.

That focus makes these cars excellent on poor British road surfaces, and it is the reason Citroen owners tend to be loyal in a way that does not always show up in the headlines. The range is also unusually varied, taking in two things that are not conventional cars at all, which the sections below explain properly.

Which Citroen Should You Lease?

Hatchbacks, SUVs, proper people carriers, and two genuine one-offs.

C3 and C4

The C3 is the small hatchback, in petrol or fully electric form, and one of the most comfortable cars of its size anywhere. The C4 is the larger, more striking family hatchback.

SUVs

The C3 Aircross is the compact SUV and is available with seven seats, which is rare at that size. The C5 Aircross is the family SUV and the most comfortable thing in the range.

Space and practicality

The Berlingo carries more for the money than any SUV, with sliding doors and a square boot. The SpaceTourer steps up to eight seats.

Holidays

The Holidays is a proper campervan, built on the SpaceTourer. Pop-up roof, kitchen, shower, the lot. The section below has the detail.

Ami

The Ami is an electric quadricycle rather than a car, for short urban journeys. Read the section below before you order one.

The Citroen Holidays Campervan

This is one of the most interesting things any mainstream brand sells, and almost nobody knows it exists. The Holidays is a full campervan conversion built on the Citroen SpaceTourer by Bravia Mobil, and sold through the Citroen retail network rather than a specialist converter, which is what makes it leasable in the normal way.

The pop-up roof is standard and gives standing headroom inside. There are up to four sleeping spaces, two in the roof and two on the sliding rear bench, which is also removable. The kitchen has a stainless steel sink, two gas burners, a 16 litre fridge and a retractable table. There are 10 litre fresh and waste water tanks, an outdoor shower with its own 25 litre tank, a removable toilet, programmable Webasto heating, a 230V mains inlet and a solar panel on the roof.

In the UK it comes with the 2.0 litre BlueHDi 180hp diesel and the eight speed EAT8 automatic, which is the right combination for a vehicle this size. If you have been pricing up campervans elsewhere, it is well worth comparing this against a specialist conversion, because leasing one through the manufacturer network is a very different proposition.

What the Ami Actually Is

Citroen is refreshingly direct about this: the Ami is not a car. It is a light quadricycle in the L6E category, closer in law to a moped or a scooter than to anything else on this page, though it does have a roof, doors and seatbelts.

The numbers: a top speed of 27.9 mph, a range of up to 46 miles, and around four hours to charge. It has no fast charging, and it charges from standard UK public points using the Type 2 adaptor supplied.

On licensing, most people will use a full UK category B car licence. A motorbike licence also covers it, either category AM for mopeds and scooters or a full category A. A provisional car licence is not sufficient, which is worth checking before you order rather than after. You may have seen the Ami described as a vehicle teenagers can drive, and that is true in France but not under UK rules. For short urban trips or as a second vehicle it is a delight. For anything involving a fast road, it is the wrong tool.

Choosing Your Trim and Powertrain

Citroen keeps its trim structure short, which is a mercy. On the C3 the grades are PLUS and MAX, with the petrol car in PLUS and the electric e-C3 in both. Grades vary a little between models, so check the specific car you are quoting. Because Advanced Comfort seats and suspension are standard throughout, the higher grade buys you equipment rather than the comfort, which is the opposite of how most ranges work.

On powertrains, Citroen uses an e- prefix for its fully electric cars, so an e-C3 is the electric version of a C3. The petrol models use the PureTech engines, there are hybrid options across much of the range, and the electric cars suit anyone who can charge at home.

One thing worth checking before you settle on a quote: some Citroen petrol models come with a manual gearbox rather than an automatic, including the PureTech C3 in PLUS trim. If an automatic matters to you, the electric versions are automatic by nature. For company car drivers the electric models sit far lower on benefit in kind, and rates change each tax year, so take current figures from your accountant.

Citroen Leasing FAQs

No. The Takata airbag stop-drive recall applies to older vehicles, specifically the C3 built between 2008 and 2017, the DS3 from 2009 to 2019, and the C4, DS4 and DS5 built between 2010 and 2018. Every affected car is at least seven years old, so a new Citroen on a lease today is not involved. If you own one of those older cars, check the VIN on Citroen's own recall checker.

Most people will use a full UK category B car licence. A motorbike licence also covers it, either category AM for mopeds and scooters or a full category A. A provisional car licence is not sufficient. You may have read that teenagers can drive one, which is true in France but not under UK rules.

Its top speed is 27.9 mph and the range is up to 46 miles, with around four hours to charge and no fast charging option. Citroen is clear that it is a light quadricycle rather than a car, so it suits short urban journeys rather than fast roads.

It is a campervan built on the Citroen SpaceTourer and converted by Bravia Mobil, sold through the Citroen network. A pop-up roof gives standing headroom, there are up to four sleeping spaces, and it has a kitchen with a sink, two gas burners and a fridge, plus an outdoor shower, a removable toilet, heating and a roof solar panel. In the UK it uses a 2.0 litre BlueHDi 180hp diesel with an eight speed automatic.

They are Citroen's comfort technologies, and the notable thing is that they are standard across the range rather than reserved for expensive trims. The seats use thicker, softer foam and the suspension is tuned to absorb poor surfaces, which is why Citroens ride better than almost anything at the money on British roads.

Setting the Ami aside, since it is a quadricycle rather than a car, the C3 is usually the most affordable way into the range in either petrol or electric form. The Berlingo is worth comparing too, because it carries far more than a small hatchback for a similar sort of figure.

The C3 Aircross offers seven seats, which is unusual for a compact SUV. If you need more room than that, the SpaceTourer takes up to eight and the Berlingo is available in a longer body.

LetsLease is a credit broker rather than the lender. We arrange the agreement and place it with a funder such as Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens or Santander, and that funder owns the vehicle and holds the agreement with you. Because we work across several funders rather than one, we can compare how each prices the same car.
