Cycle & Carriage France Pte Ltd, the local distributors for French marque, Citroen, is pleased to announce a full range of turbodiesel passenger cars that will remain under COE Category A classifications despite the previously announced tweak taking effect from the start of the month.

The range includes the 1.6-litre e-HDi 115 EGS equipped C4 and C5 models and 1.6-litre e-HDi 115 ETG equipped DS4 and DS5. Joining the range would be the upcoming 1.6-litre e-HDi 115 ETG C4 Picasso and Grand C4 Picasso MPVs.

Citroen's turbodiesel range promises to deliver drivers with key benefits - starting with a $15,000 Carbon Emissions-Based Vehicle Scheme (CEVS) rebate that is applicable across the full turbodiesel range. Furthermore, maintenance and fuel costs are reduced with Citroen's turbodiesel fleet - while not hindering mileage of up to 25km/L.

The cars offer the highest torque delivery under Category A with 270Nm for a better drive and lower fuel consumption and the automaker assures the cars can be refuelled in Malaysia. The range of models are also equipped with Stop&Start technology for greater fuel savings and reduced carbon emissions.

 

To top it off, Citroen offers a five year/100,000km warranty for all Citroen e-HDi turbodiesel models.

These diesel engines are really very torquey, much more than the same petrol variants.

 

However, the noise from diesel clattering may be disturbing

How will driving a high torque, low power car feel like?

 

Fast pick-up, but slow when upping higher gears?

The car can accept MY diesel...but MY station dun wanna sell...hahahahaha....ok lah...max 20L nia. So every 500km top up lor...(agar based on claimed 25km/L FC)

 

But high torque coming in at low end is damn shiok. Driven one 320d in MY before...the 400Nm comes in low at 1,500rpm...even a 530i had problem keeping up in traffic light sprints...and the fuel consumption is woo lah lah...given 270Nm for this car...sprint to legal speed of 90-100kmh should not be a problem...

Lets see how well Citroen sales does for 2014...

 

French cars have always looked good on paper but not in reality. I know many friends who's french cars spend 30% of their lifespan in the workshop.

  • Is 'tiny living' really irrelevant in Singapore?

    I discussed the possibility of living in tiny houses in Singapore in an earlier blog post. But as we know, it isn't an option to begin with – no thanks, of course, to our lack of land space.  Someone also pointed out that the idea of tiny houses is "romanticised" – which, I don't deny (but hey, that's why it's a dream). While it's clear tiny houses aren't going to work out here, the concept of 'tiny living' is; not just physically but also mentally. Anyone who has lived enough years lo
