Citroen C-ZERO: which version to buy
There is only one Citroen C-ZERO to choose in this catalogue: generation 1 generation (2010-10-01 to 2020-12-31), Mini 5-doors body, a single drivetrain named AT. That is not a gap in the table. The model ran one generation (pokoleniy: 1) and that generation lists modifikaciy: 1.
There is only one Citroen C-ZERO to choose in this catalogue: generation 1 generation (2010-10-01 to 2020-12-31), Mini 5-doors body, a single drivetrain named AT. That is not a gap in the table. The model ran one generation (`pokoleniy`: 1) and that generation lists `modifikaciy`: 1. A used-car search that turns up “C-ZERO AT”, “C-ZERO 2012”, or “C-ZERO electric” is pointing at the same specification. The buying question is therefore not “which engine” or “which generation”, but whether this one measured package — 67 hp, 180 Nm, 15.9 s to 100 km/h, 130 km/h, 150 mm ground clearance, Electro fuel, Automatic 1-speed, RWD — matches the job.
Citroen C-ZERO generations: what changed (and what did not)
1 generation is the whole production run: start 2010-10-01, stop 2020-12-31, body Mini 5-doors, one version. There is no second generation to compare, and no restyling listed as a separate generation. Years such as 2012 sit inside this span; they are calendar years of the same AT spec, not a new key in the data.
Because there is only one generation, nothing in this dataset shows a later C-ZERO that gained more horsepower, a different gearbox, or a different drive layout. Arithmetic between generations is zero: 67 hp minus 67 hp, 180 Nm minus 180 Nm, 15.9 s minus 15.9 s. If a listing claims a “facelift motor” or a second body type, it is not supported here.
Citroen C-ZERO specs: the only version, named exactly AT
| Version | hp | Nm | Displacement | Fuel | Cylinders | Layout | Boost | Gearbox | Gears | Drive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 67 | 180 | not measured | Electro | not measured | not measured | not measured | Automatic | 1 | RWD |
AT is Electro, not a petrol or diesel unit with a litre figure. Displacement is not measured, so power per litre cannot be calculated (67 hp divided by a missing volume is not a number). Cylinders, cylinder layout, valves per cylinder, boost, engine location, and fuel-system type are not measured. Do not fill those cells from memory: the catalogue does not record them for AT.
What AT does record for the motor: 67 hp (49 kW) at 4000–8800 rpm, and 180 Nm at 0–3000 rpm. 49 kW is the same peak as 67 hp expressed in kilowatts in the source; it is not a second motor. Peak torque starts at 0 rpm and holds through 3000 rpm; peak power is listed later, from 4000 rpm up to 8800 rpm. The gearbox is Automatic with 1 gear. Drive is RWD.
Citroen C-ZERO engine and motor: what the numbers actually buy
For a buyer comparing AT with other small electrics in a search box, the useful arithmetic is on the figures that exist.
- Peak force at the motor: 180 Nm. That is 180 / 67 ≈ 2.69 Nm per horsepower.
- Peak power window: 4000–8800 rpm versus torque 0–3000 rpm. The catalogue therefore describes a motor that posts its newton-metres immediately and its horsepower later in the rev range.
- Transmission: 1 Automatic ratio. There is no second gearbox, no extra gear to “buy”, and no manual alternative in the data.
- Drive: RWD only. There is no AWD or FWD AT to pay extra for.
Searches for “C-ZERO engine”, “C-ZERO motor”, and “C-ZERO battery” run into the same limit: battery capacity, battery size, and battery replacement cost are not measured. A listing that quotes a kWh pack or an upgrade kit is quoting something this table does not contain. Reliability, charging faults, and service-manual content are also not measured; they are not hidden in another column.
Citroen C-ZERO performance: 0–100, top speed, mpg
| Version | 0–100 km/h | Top speed (km/h) | City use | Highway use | Combined use | CO2 | Eco class |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | 15.9 s | 130 | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured | not measured |
AT reaches 100 km/h in 15.9 seconds and is limited to 130 km/h. 130 / 15.9 ≈ 8.2: each second of the sprint corresponds to about 8.2 km/h of the listed top speed, which is a way to see that the sprint and the cap are both modest on the same car, not two different trims.
Fuel consumption (city, highway, mixed) is not measured. Range is not measured. There is no mpg figure to compare with a Renault, Nissan, or Mitsubishi in this dataset, and no tank size because fuel is Electro and `bak` is not measured. If a review or a “vs Nissan Leaf / vs Renault Zoe / vs Peugeot iOn / vs Mitsubishi i-MiEV” page quotes range or kWh/100 km, those numbers are outside this source.
Citroen C-ZERO dimensions, weight, wheels, and size
| Version | Kerb weight | Gross weight | Ground clearance | Tank | Wheels |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AT | not measured | not measured | 150 mm | not measured | not measured |
Weight is not measured, so kg per horsepower cannot be calculated. Wheel size is not measured. Overall length, width, and height are not in this dataset; “C-ZERO size” and “C-ZERO dimensions” as search phrases are not answered by millimetres here except for ground clearance.
Ground clearance for AT is 150 mm. That is the one chassis figure you can use when deciding whether the Mini 5-doors will clear a kerb or a rutted access road. Front suspension is Independent, spring; rear is Dependent, spring. Front brakes are Ventilated disc; rear brakes are Drum. Those are not optional packages in the table: one generation, one AT, one chassis description.
Which Citroen C-ZERO version to choose
Choose AT — it is the only version. There is no second power output to distinguish two cars with the same name, and no 2 generation that added gears, drive types, or body styles.
What AT actually gives you, in the numbers that exist:
1. Motor: 67 hp / 49 kW at 4000–8800 rpm, 180 Nm at 0–3000 rpm, Electro, displacement not measured. 2. Driveline: Automatic, 1 gear, RWD. No extra ratio and no other driven-axle layout to pay for. 3. Performance: 15.9 s to 100 km/h, 130 km/h maximum. City, highway, and mixed consumption not measured; CO2 not measured; eco class not measured. 4. Body and years: Mini 5-doors, 1 generation, on sale in this catalogue from 2010-10-01 through 2020-12-31. 5. Chassis: 150 mm clearance; Independent, spring front; Dependent, spring rear; Ventilated disc front; Drum rear. 6. Not measured, and therefore not a reason to pick one listing over another inside this model: kerb weight, gross weight, wheels, tank, battery kWh, range, cylinders, layout, boost, charging behaviour, reliability scores, and price.
“What the extra money buys” cannot be answered with a second C-ZERO row: there is no higher-hp AT and no cheaper lower-hp AT. Extra money on the used market (UK or elsewhere) would be paying for condition, remaining battery health, or equipment that this specification table does not list — not for a different catalogue version.
If the search is “C-ZERO vs” another name, this article can only state C-ZERO AT as 67 hp, 180 Nm, 15.9 s, 130 km/h, Electro, Automatic 1, RWD, Mini 5-doors, 150 mm clearance. Rival figures are not in the launch data.
Bottom line: buy AT if a Mini 5-doors Electro car with 67 hp, 180 Nm from 0 rpm, a 1-speed Automatic, RWD, 15.9 s to 100 km/h, and 130 km/h top speed is enough, and treat every unlisted figure (weight, range, battery size, wheels, mpg) as not measured rather than as a hidden trim difference.
