Citroen C3

Citroen sells four ICE-powered models in India: C3 (Rs 6.16 lakh), Aircross (Rs 8.49 lakh), C5 Aircross (Rs 39.99 lakh), and the recently launched Basalt (Rs 8.25 lakh). Prices are ex-showroom. 

Citroen has introduced automatic transmission variants of the C3 hatchback in India, starting at Rs 10 lakh (ex-showroom). In terms of market rivalry, the Citroen C3 AT competes directly with the automatic variants of the Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, Maruti Suzuki Swift, and the Tata Punch. 

As part of updates for 2024, the Citroen C3 now offers an option of a 6-speed automatic gearbox, which is paired with a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine.

The pricing of the updated Citroen C3 and C3 Aircross is yet to be announced. The former is currently from Rs 6.16 lakh to Rs 9 lakh, while the latter falls between Rs 9.99 lakh and Rs 14.11 lakh. The prices are ex-showroom.

The production-spec Citroen Basalt Coupe SUV is expected to employ the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol motor that powers the C3 and C3 Aircross.

Citroen has announced a price cut for the C3 and C3 Aircross, a free car wash, and a referral scheme alongside the new 'Blu' version.

The Citroen Basalt, which will go on sale in India in the second half of 2024, will compete against the soon-to-be-released Tata Curvv.

The India-bound Citroen Basalt is likely to use the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that propels the C3 and the C3 Aircross. It will directly compete with the upcoming Tata Curvv.

Citroen India used to provide Zesty Orange paintwork for the roof in a couple of dual-tone options. The new Cosmo Blue shade has replaced the orange hue even when it comes to dual-tone colours.

Apart from available discount offers, the carmaker is providing free fuel for a year and a 5-year extended warranty. Notably, the Citroen C3 and the C3 Aircross discount offers are good through December 31, while the Citroen C5 Aircross discounts are only valid till November 30.
