The 1100 was introduced by Simca in 1967. It stood out as one of the first modern hatchbacks in Europe. It featured an inline four engine, with displacements ranging from 944cc up to 1.3L, and power between 44 and 82 hp, depending on the version. The transmission was a 4 or 5-speed manual, with front-wheel drive, an innovative configuration for the time. It was available in 3 and 5-door hatchbacks, estate cars, vans, and a coupe version. In addition, the Simca 1100 Ti was produced, a sporty variant with a more powerful engine, considered one of the first hot hatches on the market. Thanks to its practical design, good roominess, and versatility, this car was a sales success in Europe and laid the groundwork for future compact models with front-wheel drive. The Simca 1100 was produced until 1985.
