Citroen made its debut in India with the locally-assembled C5 Aircross. The C5 Aircross was an effort to make an image in the eyes of the Indian audience. For the masses, Citroen is going to launch the heavily-localised C3 in 2022. The India-made C3 will be a hatchback with SUV elements that is different from the C3 sold in international markets. Some images of the upcoming C3 on test have surfaced online. The spied test car was a lower variant with black door handles and steel wheels.
Citroen unveiled the C3 this year and it impressed the masses with its SUV-inspired styling. Citroen isn’t calling the C3 an SUV but a hatchback with a twist. It boasts several SUV-inspired elements coupled with high ground clearance. On the design’s front, the C3 will offer split headlights with DRLs, styled wheels, body cladding, door protectors and more.
