Citroën C3 Unveiled | Premium Hatchback Segment Gets A New Rival
Citroën has taken the wraps off its all-new C3 premium hatchback, the brand’s locally-developed model for India that promises quirky styling, lots of features and butch appeal. It will be locally built and prices are likely to be competitive. Will the new C3 be a gamechanger? Let's take a look at what this French hatchback has to offer.

2:33 - Citroën C3 Expected Launch Date
➡️Instead of entering the already highly swarming subcompact SUV segment, Citroen is positioning the C3 as a rugged looking premium hatchback, taking on models like the Maruti Suzuki Baleno, Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz and even the Honda WR-V.
➡️The new Citroen C3 is expected to be powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine belting out around 100 bhp and 160 Nm of peak torque.
➡️The motor will likely come mated to a five-speed manual gearbox while an automatic transmission is likely to be optional in higher trims for that ease of driving in traffic conditions.
➡️The premium hatchback is expected to go on sale early next year in our market and subsequently we'll also get to new more versions like the C3 Aircorss which will be more butch to look at and will take on the subcompact SUVs.
