Citroen C3 launched in India; Prices start at Rs. 5.70 lakh

The Citroen C3 competes with models like the Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite and the Renault Kiger.

Citroen has announced the introductory pricing for the C3 in India. The crossover is available in 6 variants with prices starting at Rs 5,70,500 (ex-showroom, Delhi).

The Citroen C3 is based on the brand’s CMP modular platform. The car measures 3,981 mm in length, 1,733 mm in width, 1,586 mm in height and the wheelbase is 2,540 mm. It has a ground clearance of 180 mm and comes with 315 litres of boot space.

The C3 has a funky design featuring V-shaped LED daytime running lights and headlamps positioned slightly lower. The car gets a dual-tone exterior and black plastic cladding all around to give it a more rugged look. The C3 comes equipped with diamond-cut alloy wheels.

The interior too is a bit unconventional. The dual-tone dashboard comes with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system that offers Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity and a digital instrument cluster.

The Citroen C3 is offered with two engine options. This includes a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that makes 81 BHP @ 5,750 rpm and 115 Nm @ 3,750 rpm, paired with a 5-speed manual and a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol motor producing 108 BHP @ 5,500 rpm and 190 Nm @ 1,750 rpm, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission.
