Development Timeline
Development of the C2 project began in 1974, and the Horizon entered production at the end of 1977. Full production ramp‑up was not achieved until May 1978, when the rear‑engined Simca 1005/1006 ceased production.
Design Inspiration and Replacement Role
The design team led by Royden Axe crafted the Horizon to echo the styling of the Alpine C6 (1308). It was introduced as the successor to the Simca 1110, a small European hatchback first built in 1965.
Production Span and Market Presence
The Horizon sold in modest numbers but remained in production until 1986, when it was succeeded by the Peugeot 309. Throughout its life it was sold under Simca, Chrysler and Talbot badges, and bodywork parts are catalogued for model years 1978‑1986.
