The New Citroën C3
New C3 marks the start of a new chapter for Citroën, with the creation of models that are both faithful to the spirit of the brand as well as carefully researched and developed with local teams in order to provide a practical response to specific market needs in India. New C3 is the first model from the “C Cubed” platform – a family of three vehicles by 2024 with an international focus, based on three key criteria: the creation of a competitive, market-leading offering, with a strong style, a Citroën experience designed for on-board comfort, and benefiting from a design tailored to the specific needs of consumers in the intended countries.

With its assertive design, the New C3 will appeal to the young & progressive customers for whom their car is a reflection of their personality. A car that they can customise to express their style, which is a strong expectation from these Indian customers. In addition, the compactness sub 4m size, agility, versatility, on-board space, comfort and connectivity will improve the experience in Indian road conditions, while Customisation choices will provide options for self-expression to individuals according to their lifestyle. The New C3 will provide value offered by a vehicle with high visual appeal, distinct styling and competitive cost of ownership by being robust and practical to maintain on account of over 90% localisation.

The new Citroën C3 will be launched in India on 20th July 2022 and will be available for retail across 20 La Maison Citroën phygital showrooms and on the official Citroën website through the Buy Online initiative.
