Citroen used the London expo to launch its C3 Pluriel Latte. With Ivory paint, aluminium-effect roof arches and bumper inserts, it also has 15-inch alloys. Inside, there are cream and dark grey leather seats, air-con and a five-disc CD player. The £12,745 Latte features a frothy 1.4-litre petrol engine and is on sale now.

Meanwhile, Nissan has been showing off a white version of its Micra to launch a new flagship trim. Active Luxury cars in C+C and hatch form replace Sport trim. On sale in September, they have a soft-touch dash, Alcantara door inserts and unique leather upholstery.

A sporty spoiler, foglights and alloys also set the Active Luxury apart. Prices have yet to be confirmed, but are expected to start at £11,000 for the 1.4-litre hatch.
