Citroen C3

The Citroen C3 is the French carmaker’s first mainstream model for the Indian market. Citroen likes to call it ‘hatchback with a twist’ and it rivals the likes of the Maruti Suzuki Ignis and the Tata Punch. It is powered by either a 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated or a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine with the latter having the highest torque figure of any small-capacity turbo-petrol engine. There is, however, no automatic gearbox at launch.
