Citroen C3X launched in India starting at ₹7.91 lakh, ex-showroom

The Citroen C3X has been launched in India with a starting price of ₹7.91 lakh, ex-showroom, as a part of the company’s Citroen 2.0 – “Shift Into the New" strategy. Based on the standard Citroen C3, the C3X is placed above the standard model range with enhanced features and amenities. Interestingly, Citroen has also termed the C3X as a SUV unlike the C3 which was termed as a ‘hatch with a twist’.

The company believes that Citroen C3X represents its commitment to delivering premium features and meaningful innovation in a package that’s distinctly Citroen. Kumar Priyesh, Business Head & Director – Automotive Brands, Stellantis India, said, “We’ve created a SUV that understands your routine, simplifies it, and elevates every moment behind the wheel. Shailesh Hazela, MD & CEO, Stellantis India, added that with the C3X the company has pushed for even greater localisation to ensure the best value, lowest cost of ownership, and a product that feels truly made for India.

Citroen C3X: Feature Enhancements

The C3X brings 15 new features over the standard C3, aimed at enhancing convenience, safety, and comfort. Key highlights include Citroën’s Proxi-Sense Passive Entry and Push Start system, a segment-first hands-free access setup, and Cruise Control with Speed Limiter. The SUV also debuts the HALO 360 degree camera system with seven viewing angles, alongside auto-dimming inside rearview mirror, LED Vision projector headlamps, LED projector fog lamps, LED DRLs, and LED interior lighting.

Inside, the cabin has been upgraded with a metropolitan leatherette-wrapped instrument panel, a 26 cm (10.25-inch) Citroen Connect touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and tropicalised automatic air-conditioning designed for Indian summers. Practical niceties like a rear USB Type-C charging point and generous 315-litre boot space see it equally well appointed for a busy week-day existence and weekend breaks.

Citroen C3X: Specifications

The C3X comes with two petrol engine choices — a 1.2-litre PureTech 82 naturally aspirated motor mated with a 5-speed manual, and the 1.2-litre PureTech 110 turbocharged motor with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic. The turbo variant can accelerate from 0–100 km/h in under 10 seconds and offers an ARAI-certified fuel economy of up to 19.3 km/l.

Citroen’s Advanced Comfort suspension, which is claimed to be tuned for Indian road conditions, delivers what the brand calls a “flying carpet" ride. Safety features include six airbags, ESP, ABS with EBD, Hill Hold Assist, ISOFIX child seat mounts, TPMS, high-speed alert, and a perimetric alarm.

Citroen C3X: Price

The Citroen C3X range starts at ₹7.91 lakh for the naturally aspirated manual and goes up to ₹9.89 lakh for the turbo automatic variant (ex-showroom). Customers can also opt for the HALO 360 degree camera system as a paid add-on on select trims. Bookings are now open, with deliveries scheduled to begin in early September 2025.
