Follow usLaunched in 2022, the Citroen C3 is the French carmaker’s entry-level model for the Indian market, rivalling the likes of the Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter, and Maruti Suzuki Ignis. The C3 was recently updated for 2025, with prices slashed across the range and the introduction of the new top-spec X Shine variants. Following the 2025 C3 pricing updates and line-up rejig, let’s take a look at what the hatchback’s powertrain options, variants and feature list now look like.
The 2025 C3 price starts at Rs 5.25 lakh, a Rs 98,000 drop from the hatchback’s earlier starting price of Rs 6.23 lakh. Next up is the C3 Feel trim, which sees the highest price reduction of the range at Rs 1.29 lakh.
| 2025 Citroen C3 price list (Rs, lakh) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| NA petrol MT | Turbo-petrol MT | Turbo-petrol AT | |
| Live | 5.25 | - | - |
| Feel | 6.23 | - | - |
| Feel(O) | 7.27 | - | - |
| X Shine | 7.91 | 9.11 | 9.90 |
Citroen has added a new Feel(O) trim as part of the 2025 update, and the previous range-topping Shine variants have been supplanted by the X Shine trims, which add more features to the C3 alongside a price drop of up to Rs 25,000. Do note that these prices are introductory, so they can increase in the near future.
No changes have been made to the 2025 C3 powertrain line-up, so the hatchback continues to offer 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated (NA) and turbocharged petrol engines. The former develops 82hp and 115Nm and is available solely with a 5-speed manual gearbox. Meanwhile, the turbo-petrol engine makes 110hp and up to 205Nm, and it can be had with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter auto.
The Live, Feel and Feel(O) trims are offered with the NA engine only (dealer-level retrofitted CNG kit also available for Rs 93,000 extra), while the C3 X Shine trims get the turbo-petrol manual and automatic configurations.
Five monotone exterior colours are available with the 2025 C3, namely Cosmo Blue, Polar White, Perla Nera Black, Steel Grey and Garnet Red. These colours can be had across all C3 variants, with the top-spec X Shine trims additionally offering two dual-tone options – Garnet Red with Perla Nera Black Roof and Cosmo Blue with Polar White Roof – for Rs 15,000 extra.
The C3 gets one of three interior colour schemes, depending on the chosen trim level. The Live and Feel trims feature ‘Injected Grey’ and ‘Anodized Grey’ plastic finishes, respectively, and the C3 X Shine variants come with a ‘Metropolitan’ leatherette-wrapped dashboard.

As laid out above, the Live and Feel trim levels of the C3 aren’t very well-equipped, lacking in terms of creature comforts and on the safety front. If you’re looking to buy a C3 and your budget can’t extend to the fully loaded X Shine variants, it’s best to go with the Feel(O) trim, as it includes necessary features like an infotainment touchscreen, driver’s seat height adjust, steering wheel tilt adjust, six airbags, speed-sensing door locks, ISOFIX child seat anchor points, and more.
