Citroen has launched the range-topping Shine variant of the all-electric e-C3 in India, with prices starting at Rs 13.20 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi). The addition of a new top variant to the EV comes almost a year after its launch. The new variant adds some new features to the electric hatchback, including some that were previously offered as accessories. The new top variant costs about Rs 40,000 more than the e-C3 Feel variant.

Compared to the e-C3 Feel, the Shine gets some cosmetic enhancements including faux front and rear skid plates and 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels. Inside, the steering wheel is now leather-wrapped. On the features front, the e-C3 Shine packs in a reverse camera, electrically-adjustable wing mirrors and a rear defogger as well. The rest of the equipment is carried over from the lower-spec Feel trim.

Citroen has made no changes to the EV's powertrain for 2024 with the e-C3 continuing to feature a 29.2 kWh underfloor battery pack paired with an electric motor powering the front axle. The electric motor is good for a peak 56 bhp and 143 Nm of torque and can propel the EV to a top speed of 107 kmph. Citroen claims the e-C3 can cover up to 320 km (MIDC) on a single charge and supports DC fast charging.
