Citroen C3 SUV: First Look

Citroen C3
 
Citroen has begun manufacturing its future C3 SUV for the markets of Argentina and Brazil. The 2022 C3 compact SUV, which is set to debut in India in the first half of 2022, is slated to be one of the French automaker's most affordable models. The distinctive shape of the new C3, which is defined by the high position of the bonnet and a front end built to accentuate the perception of breadth, immediately reveals the car's particular flair and strength. 
 
 Citroen C3  Price:
 
The Citroen C3 is estimated to start selling at Rs 6.16 lakh. 
 
 Citroen C3  Features :
 
The Citroen C3's characteristic split headlamp design will be separated by a two-slat chrome grille and a secondary hexagonal-shaped grille. Faux brushed aluminium skid plates will be installed on the dual-tone bumpers. The 3.98-metre C3 has a high ground clearance and a high bonnet, giving it the appearance of a cross-hatchback. On the front bumper, ORVMs and side cladding will have contrasting orange highlights. Dual-tone alloy wheels, wrap-around LED tail-lights, and a traditional antenna are just a few of the other noticeable features. 
Inside, the Citroen C3 will have a dual-tone cabin, with a huge orange-coloured inlay complementing the black dashboard. A 10-inch touchscreen system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a digital instrument cluster, and steering-mounted audio controls will be included on the sub-4m SUV. It would include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and rear parking sensors, among other safety features.
 
 Citroen C3  Performance:
 
A 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine will likely power the Citroen C3. A five-speed manual transmission and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission can be available for C3. No diesel engines will be available.
 
 Citroen C3  Capacity:
 
The fuel tank capacity of the Citroen C3 is expected to be 47 litres. The C3 can accommodate 5 people. It will boast a 300-litre boot capacity. 
 
 Citroen C3  Rivals :
 
The Citroen C3 might compete with the Nissan Magnite and Renault Kiger due to its size and design. It could, however, compete with the Tata Punch, Maruti Baleno, Swift, and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, given its estimated pricing.

For a brand that has been repeatedly harping on its 100-year legacy and rich heritage, <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/citroen">Citroen</a> remains a rather obscure entity in the Indian car market. Playing the rather complex landscape here with just one model, which also happens to be rather obnoxiously priced, the French manufacturer has been very cautious and calculating in its India approach which has thus far raised more questions than invited admiration. But while the C5 Aircross flagship launched early 2021 may have been a statement of intent at best, it is now the Citroen <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/citroen/c3">C3</a> SUV - the company calls it a hatchback for some reason - that is promising to hurl the brand into top flight. The C3 has been a while coming but the fourth-generation is being manufactured locally and sits in a segment that has enormous potential even if it already has a plethora of very well-established and well-entrenched rivals.

The Citroen C3 has been available in global markets since the early years of 2000s with all three generations of the model thus far receiving a largely positive response. But it is the latest C3 that is carrying the monumental weight of mammoth expectations for Citroen here in our country. Such is the promise that the company is manufacturing the fourth-generation in the country - and launching it here - before anywhere else in the world. But with sky-high promises come astronomical risks as well. Poor sales of the <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-bikes/herolectro/c5">C5</a> Aircross could be excused with the reasoning that it was a show of strength and wasn't ever meant to bring in hoards of buyers. The fate of the C3, however, could propel the brand to giddy highs or plummet it to desperate depths ahead of the confirmed launch of an electric vehicle (EV) in India next year.

To test drive the Citroen C3 to study if the brand would potentially race forward or hunt for more excuses still, we landed in monsoon-hit, lush green Goa this June.

Here's the in-depth first-drive review of Citroen C3:

Citroen C3 exterior highlights:</h2>The C3 is undeniably Citroen and does bear a resemblance of sorts to the C5 Aircross. The face of the SUV is distinct in that it does have a massively imposing grille or lush use of chrome splashes. Instead, dual chrome chevrons with chrome extensions in the front grille give it a young and distinct appeal. There are sleek LED DRL units but the the main head light unit is halogen-powered. ‘Why?' - is a question best left for Citroen to answer.

The vehicle stands on 15-inch smartly-designed alloy wheels under relatively large wheel arches. The windows too are quite large and the side cladding towards the lower portion of the doors lend the car a slight bit of rugged character.

Nothing rugged about the rear though where Citroen opts for a clean profile, completed and complimented with the company badge and logo. Open the door here and there's a little over 300 litres of boot space. The cargo area is quite deep which means plonking one suitcase over another is possible. But on the flipside, the opening for the boot is quite narrow and there would be quite a loading angle which would surely make lifting heavy luggage and putting it in the boot a significant effort.

Overall, the C3 has a spunk around it from almost every angle and its sporty profile is massively highlighted by the big use of a bright shade of orange on the roof, ORVMs and casing around the front fog lamps. Personally, I am not too taken by the dual-tone orange shade but the car is also available in multiple mono tone hues.

Citroen C3 cabin highlights:</h2>That the C3 is a young car is also evident generously with how the cabin has been put together. The dashboard itself is offered in two colour trims - Orange and Grey. There is a 10.2-inch infotainment screen positioned right in the middle and it looks quite premium with features like wireless support for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It is responsive to touch even if the amount of fingerprint it attracts would make it a delight for forensics teams. Nonetheless, it is bright enough for use under direct sunlight, has good viewing angles regardless of where in the car one is at and is connected to a four-speaker set-up.

Under it are the vents for air-conditioning which can be controlled using dial knobs over the center console. The vertical vents on the front sides are quite catchy to look at and are also mighty powerful in cooling the vehicle - essential because there are no vents for the passengers at the back.

For the driver, the seat can be adjusted for height while the compact steering promises to make short work of navigating through tight spaces. But where the C3 is found wanting is the digital driver display which is quite small and almost toycar-like. The stick to adjust the ORVM position is also rather flimsy and there are plenty of closed button sections which give a sense of the vehicle still being a work in progress. There is also no one central button to lock or unlock all doors and this depends entirely on the status of the driver-side door. The control buttons for the rear windows are also located on the central console and not on the rear doors.

Step back to the rear seats and there is decent amount of space on offer. The wheelbase of 2,540 mm is evident with impressive levels of knee and leg room, regardless of how far back the front seats may be. There is good amount of cushioning on all seats and superb under-thigh support. Head room is also quite satisfactory but the central tunnel on the floor bed and the center console jutting back takes generous bites out of the leg space for the middle-seat passenger.

The rear-seat passengers do sit slightly higher than those in front in a theater-like setup and while there is no sunroof, the cabin is quiet and has a pleasant aura all around. Storage spaces are plentiful too but use of only hard plastics is a bit of a let down. There are also several features that are either missing entirely or would be offered as optional extras. This includes wireless phone charging, ambient lights, rear-view camera and the likes.

Citroen C3 drive dynamics:</h2>First things first - if you fancy a diesel car, then the Citroen C3 isn't for you. If you want the convenience of an automatic gearbox, then steer away from the C3 too. Snubbing the diesel motor is a miss for sure but not offering an automatic transmission in today's times means the French are likely to lose a fair share of customers.

But if a petrol motor and the enthusiasm of a manual gearbox is your thing, Citroen C3 is offering two choices of each. There is a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated motor churning out 82 Ps (80 hp) and offering 115 Nm of torque. Then there is the more capable 1.2-turbo petrol which puts out 110 Ps (108 hp) and an absolutely scrumptious 190 Nm of torque.

This torque figure alone promises to set the C3 apart from most of its intended rivals and isn't just a numerical highlight but does translate to some extremely peppy traits when on the move. Push the pedal, slot the intended gear number and the C3's turbo engine is just so impressively enthusiastic. Imagine a child running around in a chocolate factory - endless energy, scampering from one corner to the farthest other corner. That, in a nutshell, is the C3 turbo for you.

But it is not just innocent enthusiasm because there is a high degree of maturity too, especially when it comes to the large gear bands. The shifts may not be as slick to touch as is in most Korean cars but the sheer need to work the gearbox is comparatively far less. The C3 pulls and pulls clean, and while there is a slight strain from the engine at higher rev bands, the solid grip over NVH levels also help in keeping the cabin calm while pushing the car forward.

The other big strength of the C3 lies in its suspension set up that is tuned so well that the ride quality raises the bar for several other sub-compact SUVs currently out and about on roads here. Sure it may not be like the ‘Flying Carpet’ effect on the C5 Aircross but still, the ability of the C3 to brush past broken roads is mighty impressive. And unless hurtling the car over speed breakers, even man-made road aberrations are very well negotiated.

But while the C3 shines within city limits courtesy its easy maneuverability and rushes towards three-digit speed mark on open roads with spirited focus, the lack of feedback from the steering is a letdown. Steady at moderate speeds, the C3 steering wheel needs to be gripped harder at high speeds to extract any iota of feedback. There is also a slight body roll for back-seat passengers when the car is pushed into corners with disdain and this takes some sheen away from the otherwise comfortable experience of being on the move inside this car.

Most of these traits - the good and not so good - are obviously on the more sedate C3 option as well. But it would be incorrect to plainly assume that the 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated motor is lethargic. Obviously not as eager as its more powerful twin, the more affordable C3 still has enough spirit to be a confident daily ride option. The pick from lower rev bands is stellar and the five-speed gearbox continues to have a mighty large range to adapt to changing drive conditions. Move to high speeds sure need more work and overtaking won't be as breezy but unless you identify yourself as an enthusiastic driver every time you get inside your car, this motor should suffice.

As such, the C3 does a respectable job of offering two solid engine options and a suspension set up tuned for comfort.

Citroen C3 verdict:</h2>The Citreon C3 isn't an extravaganza in terms of feature list or boisterous looks. And yet, it goes beyond just getting the basics right to offer a car that's confident and basks in that confidence.

Citroen will offer a mammoth list of optional extras which cover exterior style packs to feature additions for alloys, rear-view camera and more. This is a generous hint that off the block, the C3 may be very aggressively priced.

Citroen has a solid product on its hands and one that has the potential to find favour among a young car-buying audience. All eyes would be on how well the C3 is priced and how well the company is able to come good on its promise of offering a robust post-sales network. Considering the base variant will be quite a stripped down version, a starting price of somewhere around ₹5 lakh ought to hold the car in good stead.

In conclusion, the Citroen C3 Aircross is a reliable and competitively priced SUV that caters to a wide range of needs. Its balanced combination of features, safety, and performance makes it a strong contender in the SUV segment. Whether you're looking for a family car or a comfortable daily driver, the C3 Aircross is worth considering.

The Indian automotive space is one of the most challenging markets across the world especially when looking at the popular segments such as the compact and the sub-compact SUV segment. Customers of these segments not only want quality but also the best tech available.

Despite being one of the most challenging ones, these segments are so popular that almost every automaker in the country has an offering in these segments, even the new ones like Citroen. Citroen’s answer to the most populated compact SUV segment, the C3 Aircross was launched in September 2023.

Being the fourth model for the Indian market from the company, the C3 Aircross had huge expectations. However the lack of features resulted in the SUV getting unnoticed in the market. While the C3 Aircross’ competitors, which include the likes of the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/skoda/kushaq">Kushaq</a> and others, were packing in all that’s available in the tech world, Citroen on the other hand had barely anything related to tech. Rather, the French brand believed that the SUV’s 5+2 seating capacity and the practicality it offers will be a turn on for the customers.

Another missing part in the C3 Aircross’ package was an automatic transmission (AT) option. Now Citroen has come up with an automatic transmission option to make the <a target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/new-cars/citroen/c3-aircross">C3 Aircross</a> a better proposition in the market. But is it enough? Let's find out.

<h2>Citroen C3 Aircross AT : Exterior</h2>The C3 Aircross is a handsome looking SUV with its boxy looks and balanced stance. &nbsp;The C3 Aircross AT remains similar looking to the manual transmission variant. It gets Y-shaped DRLs at the front with highlighted air intake above the bumper. While on the side the SUV gets tight overhangs and well-proportioned wheel arches and glass areas, with 17-inch ‘Quadratic’ alloys. At the rear it gets C-shaped tail-lights, prominent roof spoiler and chunky rear skid plate.&nbsp;

<h2>Also watch: Citroen C3 Aircross SUV: First drive review</h2>

<h2>Citroen C3 Aircross AT: Updates</h2>While it was expected that the AT variants of the SUV will get updates in line with the market demands, the changes to the vehicle are rather limited. The biggest talking point for the new variant is of course the new 6-speed automatic transmission. The torque converter gearbox gets paired with the 1.2 L PureTech turbocharged petrol engine. With the AT the SUV sees a surge in torque by 15Nm to 205 Nm while the power output remains similar at 108 bhp.

Another update made to the vehicle is the addition of remote engine start stop and remote AC preconditioning, which can be done using the MyCitroen application. Other than this, everything else remains similar to the manual transmission vehicle.

Citroen C3 Aircross AT

<h2>Citroen C3 Aircross AT: Interior</h2>The rest of the package remains exactly similar to that of the MT variants, a handsome looking SUV with absolutely barebone interior. The main highlight of the cabin is the 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay along with a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. And that's about it, for a SUV which is competing in one of the most challenging segments, the compact SUV segment where rivals like the Hyundai Creta and Kia Seltos are present with tech filling to the brim.

(Also Read: <a class="manualbacklink" target="_blank" href="https://auto.hindustantimes.com/auto/reviews/citroen-c3-aircross-suv-drive-review-brave-attempt-to-challenge-the-champions-41690960865213.html">Citroen C3 Aircross SUV drive review: Brave attempt to challenge the champions</a>)

One could argue that the vehicle has been priced competitively in order to make up for the lack of features. However, even the basic necessities like higher power LED headlamps, or even electronically foldable door mirrors which are quite handy in city drive conditions, are missing. Not to include some of the expected features from the segment such as climate control. Even the keys for the vehicle look like they have come from the 2010s.

<h2>Citroen C3 Aircross AT: Powertrain</h2>The drive and ride characteristics of the Citroen C3 Aircross was one of its primary draws. The SUV's synchronised drivetrain always gives the impression of having been cut out of a single block. The story remains similar in the AT version of the vehicle. In fact it gets a bit better, thanks to the increase in torque, which is not much, but is definitely felt behind the wheel.

Besides retaining the peppiness of the engine and making the SUV even more eager to jump forward, the automatic transmission can also be praised for its capabilities to make city rides better. While the manual transmission version was more of a highway cruiser, the AT makes sure that the SUV remains to be at pace even in city conditions.

With the new transmission, the C3 Aircross feels even smoother than the MT variant, given the gear shifts are almost unnoticeable. However, everything is not in the green zone. While the shifts are smooth, in times of quick overtake, the gearbox takes some time to get itself together and downshit, although this can be eliminated using the manual gear selector mode. In addition to this, the steering at times feels a bit stiff for city driving conditions.

Getting back to the green flags, another area where the C3 Aircross shines is the ride quality. Thanks to the company’s ‘Flying Carpet Effect’, the SUV soaks up the bumps quite adequately. The SUV with McPherson strut suspension at the front and a twist-beam suspension with coil springs at the rear, feels wafting over potholes, even the bigger ones. The seats too add to this level of comfort with their perfect cushioning and space, which makes even the longest of the rides quite comfortable.

<h2>Citroen C3 Aircross AT: Verdict</h2>While the drive dynamics and available space make the Citroen C3 Aircross simple to suggest, the absence of features—even those that are essential—makes it equally challenging. The starting price of the Citroen C3 Aircross AT is ₹12.85 lakh ex-showroom. Moreover, the 7-seater configuration is on the Max variant which costs ₹13.85 lakh ex-showroom. Given the price the car is being sold for, the fit and finish and material quality are undoubtedly good; but, a little more attention to improving the cabin feel would have made for a better offering.

<h2>Citroen C3 Aircross AT: Who should buy?</h2>The C3 Aircross comes as a very unique proposition to the market. While its dimensions are comparable to the ones in the compact SUV segment, the price point at which it is being offered, is almost similar to that of a segment below.

The practicality on offer with an option for 5+2 seating, the brilliant engine and suspension are all going to the C3 Aircross’ favour. The AT variants go on to add the convenience of city driving. However, the lack of basic features can only be termed as poor product planning.

So if you are on a tight budget, and are looking for a bigger SUV with a higher seating capacity, the C3 Aircross is something that can be looked upon. The AT variants will add on the ease of driving in this case. However a key thing to keep in mind while getting the SUV is the proximity of a Citroen dealer or service centre to your place as the number of Citroen physical touch points are still limited.
