Citroen India are likely to unveil the C3 in June 2022. Ahead of its launch, a few dealerships have started accepting unofficial bookings for the C3 hatchback. We expect Citroen to open official bookings for the C3 soon.

It is worth mentioning that the India-bound C3 doesn’t share anything in common with the global C3 hatchback. When launched, the Citroen C3 will become the second product from the French carmaker in the Indian market. The first was the C5 Aircross, which is currently on sale as a CKD offering. The C3, on the other hand, enjoys a high degree of localisation with its powertrain, underpinnings and equipment.

2022 Citroen C3 Exterior Design

In terms of styling, the Citroen C3 carves a space for itself by being a cross between a hatchback and an SUV. Hence, Citroen like to call the C3 a ‘hatchback with a twist’.

At the front, the C3 gets a split headlight setup with LED DRLs that merges with the grille. The lower part of the bumper gets a faux skid plate and round fog lights.

At the side, the C3 gets fender-mounted turn indicators and styled steel wheels that point towards its low cost and functional design. At the rear, the C3 gets faux skid plates and LED taillights.

2022 Citroen C3 Interior & Features

On the inside, the C3 gets a quirky and utilitarian design for the dashboard. A 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay dominates the dashboard. Other features include a mobile holder, steering-mounted controls, manual air conditioning, a digital instrument cluster, rear power windows and manually-adjustable ORVMs.

2022 Citroen C3 Engine & Transmission

Citroen are yet to provide any information about the C3’s powertrain options for India. Rumours suggest the C3 will be offered with a 1.2L normal petrol engine with both manual and automatic options.

The global-spec C3 is offered with a 5-speed manual transmission. Both the engine and transmission options of the C3 are likely to be heavily localised to keep prices competitive.

Citroen C3 Launch Date & Rivals

The Citroen C3 is expected to go on sale in June and we expect official bookings to commence soon. In terms of rivals, the upcoming Citroen C3 will take on the Tata Punch, Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Tata Tiago NRG and the Mahindra KUV100.

Amit should go to Agra Mental. He is comparing C3 with lower segment cars instead of with Sonet, Venue, Brezza, Nexon, XUV 300, Kiger and Magnite as its length is also 3998 which He is trying to hide and create negativity about it.
