Citroen Expansion Plan For India

By the time the C3 Aircross launches in India, which will happen in the second half of 2023, Citroen India plan to expand their reach to 55 cities with over 60 dealerships. Furthermore, the carmaker aims to reach over 100 dealership touch points by 2024. Citroen will also bring a new model based on the C-cubed platform in 2024, details of which are scarce at this moment. Currently, Citroen operate with a relatively small dealership network complimented by an online retail system for the existing model lineup.

The new C3 Aircross will be the 4th offering from the French carmaker and the 3rd model based on the heavily localised C-cubed platform. The C3 already enjoys over 90% localisation in the market and Citroen claim that the upcoming C3 Aircross also benefits from 90% localisation. Hence, we expect an aggressive pricing strategy for the C3 Aircross to go up against the ever-so-crowded C-segment.
