What is the Citroën C3 Pluriel?
The C3 Pluriel was a small car with an unusual open-top design. Its sliding fabric roof could open above the cabin, and removing the side roof arches transformed it into a more open cabriolet. The different roof arrangements gave this C3 a distinctive place in Citroën’s small-car range.
Citroën unveiled the Pluriel in 2003, and its only generation ran from 2003 to 2010. It shared its basis with the C3, but the removable arches and flexible roof made the bodywork central to its character.
