Citroen has a history of innovation, from hydropneumatic suspension to front-wheel drive. The Citroen petrol range is shared with Peugeot and Opel within Stellantis. Low-output Citroen petrol engines are naturally aspirated city units, so the gain is modest. PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines.
ECUs are standardised across Stellantis, so Citroen files often work on Peugeot/Opel/DS. The Citroen community in France and Western Europe has a large pool of Stage files.
