The C3 is available in Live and Feel variants. Customers can also add the Vibe pack which comes with additional accessories. Though a dual-tone color scheme is optional for the 1.2-liter naturally aspirated engine, it comes standard in the turbo variant. To know more about the variant-wise features, head over to the link below.
The C3 has a lot of SUV cues like the silver skid plate for the front and rear and the high approach and departure angles. It gets a ground clearance of 180mm and a turning radius of 10m. The bonnet tapers towards the bottom to aid visibility and help in providing the commanding driving position that Indians prefer according to Citroen. It measures 3.98 in length and the overall design is quirky and cool. The front features split LED headlamps with a typical Citroen double slat grille. The LED DRLs merge with the grille neatly. It also features black cladding all around for a rugged look. The side features diamond-cut alloy wheels. The back features rectangular taillamps with a dual-tone bumper.
The center stage is taken up by the 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system which is compatible with Android Auto and Apple Carplay. It gets a colored dashboard with patterns to make it look funky. With a wheelbase of 2,450mm Citroen promises to give one of the best legroom in this segment.
One quirk of the C3’s interior is the placement of the rear power window switches which are positioned where rear A/C vents would usually be placed. It gets manual air-conditioning, steering-mounted audio controls, and a digital instrument cluster. Citroen claims that the C3 has the best in the class head, shoulder, and elbow room for passengers. It gets a 1-liter glovebox and a 315-liter boot.
The Citroen C3 is powered by two petrol engines. The 1.2-liter naturally aspirated 3-cylinder unit produces 81hp and 115nm of torque. It comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox. It returns a mileage of 19.8 km/l. The more powerful 1.2-liter 3-cylinder turbo petrol produces 109hp and 190nm of torque. It comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and returns a mileage of 19.4 km/l. Though there is no automatic transmission on offer, Citroen is planning to introduce it at a later stage.
The Citroen C3 offers a bunch of color combinations. It comes in four mono-tone and six dual-tone colors including Polar White, Zesty Orange, Platinum Grey, Steel Grey, Polar White with Zesty Orange roof, Platinum Grey with Zesty orange roof, Polar White with Platinum Grey roof, Steel Grey with Zesty Orange roof, Zesty Orange with Platinum Grey roof, and Steel Grey with Platinum Grey roof.
