Along with the launch of the new C3 X trim, Citroen India has slashed prices for the rest of the range and rejigged the hatchback’s line-up. Bookings for the 2025 Citroen C3 range have commenced at the French brand’s dealerships and website from today, with deliveries said to start by the first week of September. Citroen also says that “vehicles will be available for display starting mid-August”.
2025 Citroen C3 prices and variants
Entry-level C3 Live price down from Rs 6.23 lakh to Rs 5.25 lakh.

Citroen has introduced a new higher-spec Feel (O) variant, though it is yet to detail how it differs from the mid-spec Feel variant. In addition, the price of the entry-level C3 Live has been slashed by Rs 98,000, while the Feel variant now costs a whopping Rs 1.29 lakh less. Meanwhile, the Shine trim, renamed as X Shine, gets a few additional features despite a Rs 25,000 price cut.
It should be noted that a dealer-fit CNG kit is available on all four variants that come with the 82hp, 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, for a Rs 93,000 premium. The 110hp, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine, which comes with manual and automatic gearbox options, is exclusive to the C3 X Shine.
At this new Rs 5.25 lakh price point, the C3 is among the most affordable cars on sale in India, at least for the introductory period. Rivals of the C3, like the Maruti Ignis (starting at Rs 5.85 lakh), Tata Punch (Rs 6 lakh onwards) and Hyundai Exter (Rs 6 lakh onwards), are priced higher.
