SPIED: New Citroën C4 Saloon Trots out to Scandinavia for Some Winter Tests

The PSA Citroën-Peugeot may be facing some troubles in Europe due to the financial and budgetary crisis, but life goes on and Citroën is looking for ways to increase its sales with the presentation of new models in the mainstream categories.

After the introduction of the new generation of the C4 compact hatchback in 2010, the sub-premium DS4 last year and more recently, the Mitsubishi-based C4 Aircross, the French carmaker is now preparing another proposal for the popular C-segment, the C4 sedan.

Citroën has revealed the facelifted versions of its Berlingo and Jumpy (called Dispatch in Britain) minivans. Depending on the market, the Berlingo and the larger Jumpy/Dispatch are offered in both passenger and commercial variants.

In Britain, Citroën has provided initial details on the Berlingo Multispace and the Dispatch Combi, which are the passenger models of the series.

Starting with the smaller Berlingo Multispace, which is available in five- and seven-seat variants, the French firm's minivan gains a wider and more defined grille, a new chevron badge and a new headlight arrangement that can optionally include LEDs.

If you live in Britain and have been after the all-new Citroën DS5 since its introduction at the Shanghai Auto Show last April and then at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, you’re getting closer as the French brand has announced pricing and is accepting pre-orders, with first deliveries to take place on April 2.

On the road prices start from £22,400 for the entry-level diesel model rising to to £32,200 for the range-topping Hybrid4 DSport.

One of the more innovative looking Citroën's since the 1970s, the DS5 is marketed as an alternative to the more conventional C5 with a higher ground clearance, more refined interior and a shape that blends elements from several categories.

WRC: 2012 Season Kicks Off With 80th Monte Carlo Rally [Videos]

After a three-year hiatus, the most famous rally in the world, the Rallye Monte Carlo, has returned to the WRC calendar. As it was the 80th event, the Automobile Club de Monaco, which organized the race, decided to design a route that combined memories of past years with demanding stages.

The 2012 Monte Carlo rally started on January 17 with a ceremony north of Monaco, in the city of Valence. The real action, which consisted of 430 kilometers (267 miles) spread over 18 special stages, begun three days later, on January 20.

For it's second series of cinemagraphs staring the new DS5 (see the first one here), Citroën has teamed up with British football club Arsenal and first team players, Mikel Arteta, Laurent Koscielny and club captain Robin van Persie.

And if you're wondering about Citroën choice, the French carmaker has been the official vehicle supplier to Arsenal Football Club since 2008 while it recently confirmed a new three year extension to the partnership.

To celebrate the DS3's commercial success, Citroën presented a special edition version of the supermini called the Ultra Prestige at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show.

Now, the DS3 special has landed in Britain and is available for order with on-the-road prices set at £20,700 (US$31,900 / €24,800) for the petrol model and £20,900 for the diesel-powered variant (US$32,200 / €25,100).
