For the model year 2017 has Citroen his Mitsubishi-built electric car C-Zero has been extended by several functions. Most important innovation with the C-Zero is the new remote system. With the help of this remote control technology, the vehicle can be preconditioned in terms of climate. Thus, the multifunction remote control allows the driver to activate 30 minutes before starting either heating or alternatively the always standard air conditioning. If the vehicle is still connected to the charging cable, it is already possible to feel comfortable in the passenger compartment before driving without tapping the power supply to the drive battery.
As a further function, the remote control offers the possibility to program the start and end of charging processes. The remote control can also display the charge status of the power storage.
Also safety was upgraded. In the future, the small car will have an acoustic alarm on board, which will allow other road users to hear the vehicle via their ear. Thanks to its electric drive, the C-Zero drives almost noiselessly. Also for the occupants of the Stromer was upgraded acoustically. In the future, the Elektro-Citroen will have a new Bluetooth CD radio from Kenwood on board, which features DAB reception technology, among other things.
The small innovation boost is also a small price driver. While the C-Zero cost around 2016 Euro for model year 18.000, Citroen now demands around 20.000 Euro. (Mario Hommen / SP-X)
