Citroen is part of the Stellantis group (formerly PSA Peugeot Citroen). The Citroen range covers compacts, saloons, SUVs, MPVs and commercial vehicles. Citroen is a French carmaker, founded in 1919 by Andre Citroen. The Citroen petrol range is shared with Peugeot and Opel within Stellantis. High-output Citroen petrol engines are rare, as the focus is on the family segment. PureTech is Citroen's badge for its turbo petrol engines.

On older-generation Citroens, Stage 1 is flashed via OBD without a bench. The Citroen community in France and Western Europe has a large pool of Stage files. ECUs are standardised across Stellantis, so Citroen files often work on Peugeot/Opel/DS. High-output Citroens are rare, as the core segment is low and mid.
