Citroën unveiled their first car from the C Cube series yesterday, the Citroën C3. The car is designed for first-time car buyers and comes with any time, anywhere, any device, any content digital assistance for owners. The french car will be locally produced in India with 90% localised parts. Here is everything you need to know about the Citroën C3.
-
Dimensions
The C3 is 3.98 metres in length and has a 2.54-metre wheelbase with 180 mm of ground clearance. The car also has a high bonnet and an elevated driving position. Interestingly, Citroën chose not to call the C3 a sub 4metre SUV, positioning it instead to compete with both SUVs and hatchbacks in the Indian Market.
-
Quirky Look
The C3 has a youthful appearance. The orange and black highlights on the white cross hatchback make the car stand out. The slender X shaped daylight running lamps, the faux skid plate and the large grille plate, gives the relatively small double chevron character.
The car will be available in 4 colour options white, grey, silver and orange with two roof colour options- grey and orange. Citroën also offers as many as 78 accessories to help you customise your car to reflect your personality.
-
Spacious interiors
The Citroën C3 boats of “market-leading comfort and spaciousness”. The back seats feature two large headrests and 653 mm of legroom. This is more than what any mini SUV provides at the moment.
-
Infotainment system
The C3 comes with a 10-inch touch screen infotainment system that supports both Apple Car Play and Android Auto. Additionally, the system will have a smartphone mirroring feature. The infotainment console will be placed on a dashboard that lives up to it in terms of design.
-
Powertrains
Citroën hasn’t yet revealed its engine and gear specifications. But considering that the car plans to take on low range compact SUVs, it is likely to have a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder turbo-petrol engine and a six-speed manual gearbox along with an automatic transmission option.
-
Rivals
The C3 will take on both hatchbacks and entry-level SUVs in India. This includes The Renault Kiegar and the Nissan Magnite. Hatchbacks such as the Maruti Suzuki Vistara Brezza and Maruti S Presso too are close competitors.
-
Launch date
Citroën has officially set the India launch date for C3 in the first half of 2022.
-
Expected Price
Since Citroën has created the C3 for first-time car owners who look for design, comfort and technology, we expect the C3 to be priced between 5-9 lakhs in India.
Thanks for share. Good info.
