Citroen is a French carmaker, founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen. Citroen has a history of innovation, from hydropneumatic suspension to front-wheel drive. Citroen shares platforms and engines with Peugeot, Opel/Vauxhall and DS within Stellantis. The factory calibration on Citroen diesels is conservative, leaving headroom for Stage 1.

Modern Citroens use Tricore TPROT protection, so a Bench read is required. 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. Mid-range Citroen engines are a mainstream chip tuning subject in Europe. The French Citroen community has a large pool of ready-made Stage files.
