Earlier this week, Citroen India launched the 2026 eC3X and announced an introductory price of Rs. 6.98 lakh (ex-showroom) and battery EMI of Rs. 2.26 per kilometer under the Battery-as-a-Subscription (BaaS) model. Now, the brand has revealed the eC3X variant-wise ex-showroom prices for those who want to buy the electric SUV outright. Take a look:

Here are the variant-wise ex-showroom prices of the 2026 Citroen eC3X:
Without BaaS, the price jump from the base variant to the mid variant is only Rs. 36,000. Likewise, the price jump from the mid variant to the top Feel variant is Rs. 91,300.
However, with BaaS, the price jump from the base variant to the mid variant is only Rs. 20,000 while the difference between mid variant to the top Feel variant is Rs. 1.21 lakh.
The reason behind the anomaly in the price gap between variants with and without BaaS could be that the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) pricing does not simply subtract a fixed battery cost from every variant. It is possible that the BaaS scheme is linked to variant-specific loan structures and different residual battery valuations. Although all variants use the same battery pack, Citroen and their financing partners may be applying different financing calculations to different trims.

Let's compare the “battery portion removed” from each variant:
Notice that the amount removed is not identical.

If battery cost alone were being separated, all 3 figures should be roughly the same.
This strongly indicates that Citroen are using variant-specific pricing adjustments rather than a pure battery-cost subtraction model.
The anomaly is unlikely to reflect any difference in battery size or performance. Instead, it appears to be a pricing strategy designed to:
In other words, the BaaS prices appear to be driven more by marketing and financing strategy than by a straightforward deduction of battery cost from the vehicle price.
