Focussing on the C3 X trim levels, the new suffix doesn’t get any visual changes as compared to the standard versions, with no exterior design changes apart from the addition of a ‘C3 X’ badge on the tailgate. However, Citroen has expanded the colour palette with a new Garnet Red paint option, offered in both monotone and dual-tone finishes, the latter featuring a contrasting black roof. Interior options include Injected Grey and Anodised Grey for the Live and Feel trim levels, while the C3 X Shine variants are claimed to get a more premium leatherette.
