Designed by Donato Coco as a replacment for the Citroen Saxo in the supermini category. Whereas its stablemate the C3 was aimed as a larger "family friendly vehicle", with its five doors the C2 was aimed at younger drivers with two doors and flatter styling. April 2007 saw Citroën Europe announcing a facelift for its C2 model, which had received a minor update in November 2006. The 2009 C2 featured a larger front bumper and restyled grille with a chrome surround.

.

Available with 1.1, 1.4 and 1.6 litre petrol engines along with a 1.4 litre Diesel, the entry trim level the LX was strictly a no frills version, the L available 2003-05 came with black lower bumper and door handles, CD player, rear seat modulation and no fog lamps. The Design included body coloured bumpers and electric windows. The SX was the luxury spec.

 

There were three sports models the Furio, VTR and the VTS. The Furio has the same sports body kit as the more expensive VTR and VTS models but lacks their alloy wheels. except the pre-2003 cars which came with 15" Coyote alloys, The VTR also has a 110 bhp (82 kW; 112 PS) engine, whereas the VTS, the premium sports model, has a 125 bhp (93 kW; 127 PS) engine capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.0 seconds, it was intended that these cars attracted lower insurance premiums than some of their hot hatch rivals and the VTS came with security based additions including deadlocks and a Thatcham Category 1 alarm system which includes perimeter and volumetric detection as well as an engine immobiliser.
