Citroen recently unveiled its second product for India, the C3. The brand is now started accepting bookings for the crossover. The launch will take place on 20th July 2022. Interested customers can book the Citroen C3 online by using the Citroen website or by visiting their nearest dealership. To pre-book the C3, one needs to pay a token amount of INR 21,000.
The Citroen C3 has an identity crisis. Essentially it is a sub-compact SUV, but Citroen says it is a “hatchback with a twist”. We instead call it a crossover. Once launched, the C3 will take on the likes of Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger and Tata Punch.
Citroen C3 – Colours & Variants
Citroen will offer the C3 in a host of colour options. In total, it will have 10 colour options. Out of this, there will be 4 single-tone and 6 dual-tone colour options. The single-tone colour options are – Polar White, Platinum Grey, Zesty Orange and Steel Grey.

Citroen C3 – Engine & Gearbox
The C3 will get two powertrain options – PureTech 82 and PureTech 110. The PureTech 82 uses a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated three-cylinder engine.
