Citroen India has announced that it will hike prices of the C3 Hatchback with effect from July 1, 2023. The C3 will become dearer by up to Rs 17,500 depending on the variant. Launched in India in July 2022, the C3 hatchback was the first model under Citroen’s C Cubed program under which the brand aims to launch multiple made-in-India models. The C3 was joined by its all-electric derivative earlier this year. The e-C3 will not be affected by the price hike.
