Citroen, despite selling some of the most practical and appealing cars in India, is yet to capture a sizeable market share. With the launch of the new eC3X, the French carmaker is expecting the situation to change.

Citroen eC3X: BaaS price and rental
While Citroen is offering the eC3X with outright purchase options to the customers, the EV is available with a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) option as well, which has found an increasing level of penetration in the Indian electric vehicle market over the last few years. With the BaaS option selected, the upfront cost of the Citroen eC3X comes down significantly. The OEM is offering an introductory starting price for the BaaS option of Citroen eC3X, which is ₹6.89 lakh, while the battery rental charge is ₹2.26 per kilometre driven. Under the BaaS, the top-end trim comes priced at ₹8.30 lakh.
Citroen eC3X: Battery & range
Citroen claims a 325 km MIDC (modified Indian driving cycle) range for the eC3X, which marks an 79 km increase over the eC3. Apart from that, the electric hatchback continues to use a 29.2 kWh battery pack, paired with a front axle-mounted electric motor that churns out 57 bhp power and 143 Nm torque. It is capable of sprinting 0-0 kmph in 6.8 seconds, while the top speed is rated at 107 kmph. Speaking of charging, a 3.3 kW AC charger can top up the lithium-ion battery pack 10-100% in 10.3 hours, while a DC fast charger takes 57 minutes for a 10-80% top up.
Citroen eC3X: Warranty
The 29.2 kWh battery pack is covered for seven years or 1.4 lakh kilometres, while the electric motor comes with a warranty of five years or one lakh kilometres, whichever comes first. However, these battery and motor warranty durations are applicable only for private buyers. For commercial use of the EV, the warranty is limited to three years or 1.25 lakh kilometres, whichever comes earlier. The standard vehicle warranty of three years or 1.25 lakh kilometres is applicable for all, though.
Citroen eC3X: Safety
Citroen has added six airbags to the eC3X, but that is limited to the top-end Shine trim only. The rest of the trims are equipped with four airbags, which is also an upgrade compared to the eC3 that was sold with just two front airbags across variants. Other safety features of the car include ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat mounts with top tether, speed-sensitive auto door locks, high-speed alert system. There is an option to fit front and rear dashcams that come with predictive safety functionalities, including Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Front Vehicle Distance Alert (FVDA), pedestrian or non-motorised vehicle warning, etc.
