Citroen India has recently announced a price hike for the Citroen C3 hatchback. This new price hike will come into effect from July 1, and the prices are said to be increased up to Rs 17,500.
Speaking about Citroen C3, the hatchback is available in three trim levels – Live, Feel, and Shine. However, customers can add customisation packages to add features according to their preferences. These customisation packages include the Vibe pack, Dual-tone, and Dual-tone Vibe pack.
In terms of features, the Citroen C3 hatchback sports a large 10-inch Citroen Connect touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, wireless smartphone connectivity, one-touch down windows, digital instrument cluster, flat-folding rear seat, climate control, and more.
Citroen has not skimped any safety features and the French hatchback is packed with safety systems such as Driver & Passenger airbags, reverse parking sensors, rear doors child lock, engine immobiliser, speed-sensitive door lock, ABS with EBD and more.
Coming to the powertrain, the Citroen C3 hatchback is available with two powertrain options – A naturally-aspirated engine and a turbocharged engine. The base 1.2-litre, naturally-aspirated, three-cylinder ‘PURETECH 82’ engine produces 80.8bhp and 115Nm of peak torque. Moreover, this engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox as standard.
On the other hand, the top-spec 1.2-litre, turbocharged, 3-cylinder ‘PURETECH 110’ engine puts out 108.4bhp and 190Nm of peak torque. Unlike the naturally-aspirated engine, the more powerful turbocharged engine comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox.
It is also worth mentioning that unlike many of Citroen’s competitors, the Citroen C3 hatchback does not come with an automatic gearbox. This is a major chink in the Citroen C3’s armour. At present, prices for the Citroen C3 hatchback starts from Rs 6.16 lakh (ex-showroom).
