Citroen India have launched the updated 2026 eC3X electric SUV with a new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership model. The biggest highlight of the launch is the lower entry price of Rs. 6.89 lakh, which excludes the battery cost. Customers opting for the BaaS scheme will pay a separate battery usage charge starting from Rs. 2.26 per kilometer. Customers willing to pay the upfront cost of the battery can buy the electric SUV at Rs. 11.99 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base Live variant.

Update (Sep 8, 2026): Citroen have improved the range of the eC3x by 5km. Here's what the brand had to say about the latest update:
To address range concerns for electric vehicle (EV) buyers, the updated ë-C3X EXTENDED now offers a better driving range of 330 km (MIDC-I/II certified), owing to various improvements aimed at making the vehicle more efficient and using energy more effectively
Apart from the new ownership model, the updated eC3X 2026 also receives styling tweaks, new features, refreshed interiors and additional features.
The BaaS ownership model separates the cost of the battery from the cost of the vehicle. Instead of paying the full EV price up front, buyers purchase the vehicle at a lower ex-showroom price and finance the battery separately through a dedicated battery loan or subscription model.
In the case of the 2026 eC3X, the prices start from Rs. 6.89 lakh (ex-showroom) while the battery charges start from Rs. 2.26 per kilometer. This lowers the upfront purchase cost, making EMIs more affordable while the battery expenses are spread over the ownership period.
