Citroen Australia has announced that it will cease new vehicle sales in the local market starting 1st November 2024. Despite the halt in new vehicle sales, Citroen Australia will continue to support existing customers with vehicle maintenance and servicing.

The decision follows consultations with Citroen’s retailer network and a thorough evaluation of the Australian market and consumer preferences. According to VFACTS, Citroen sold just 21 cars in Australia in June 2024. David Owen, General Manager of Citroen Australia, emphasized the importance of adapting to the evolving and competitive automotive landscape.

Owen stated that while Citroen celebrates its history in Australia, the decision was made to align with changing market dynamics and consumer demands. The company remains committed to its existing customers, ensuring ongoing support through 35 authorised Service Centres across the country.

These centres will continue to provide access to factory-trained technicians, genuine parts, and necessary diagnostic updates. New vehicle orders placed before the 1st November deadline will be fulfilled, with all standard warranties and service plans remaining unchanged.
