Citroen C3 X trim teaser

Citroen India’s three mass-market offerings – the C3 hatchback, Basalt coupe-SUV and Aircross SUV – are set to get a new range-topping trim. The automaker has started a teaser campaign, with the first one hinting at a Citroen C3 X, which gets more features.

Citroen C3 X trim teaser

The only new detail seen in the teaser is a 360-degree camera. The images also show the grille, dual-tone alloy wheels, a headlight and the Citroen logo on the nose as well as on the tailgate – all of which are the same as the current top-spec C3 Shine variant. The teaser ends with an X motif, hinting at the name of this new trim.

Spy shots of the Aircross X online show new upholstery and redesigned air con vents

While the teasers show nothing of the C3 X’s interior, spy shots of the Aircross X on test show that the SUV sports new, brown seat upholstery and redesigned central and side AC vents. The C3 X and Basalt X trims are likely to have similar, rather minor changes. Citroen India had announced design and feature upgrades for the C3, Basalt and Aircross just last week.

Citroen C3 X engine and gearbox

1.2-litre petrol and turbo-petrol engines likely to be offered

All three models share the same two engine options – an 82hp 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 120hp 1.2-litre turbo-petrol. The former is only available with a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the more powerful engine has 6-speed manual and 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission options.

Citroen C3 X price estimate

Expected to be priced above C3 Shine and Dark Edition variants

Considering that the C3 X will top the hatchback’s range, its prices will be higher than those of the current top-spec Shine trim, which costs between Rs 8.16 lakh and Rs 10.15 lakh. In fact, taking the new features into account, the C3 X version is expected to be priced higher than even the Dark Edition variants, which cost Rs 8.38 lakh-10.19 lakh.
