Citroen C3 X
The French automaker's entry-level hatchback boasts one of the best engines in its class. The C3 is a spacious hatchback that starts at Rs 6.16 lakh ex-showroom, making it an excellent option for first-time buyers. Given its proportions, it's fair to call it a micro-SUV, but kudos to the brand for not forcefully labeling it as such and sticking to the hatchback category. Recently, it received five major feature updates that were not previously available, including projector LED headlamps, retractable ORVMs, automatic climate control, a 7-inch digital driver’s display, and a new foldable key. From a driving perspective, it is well ahead of most cars in the same bracket.
Citroen C3 X Latest Update
Last Updated on 12th Aug'25: Citroen has expanded the C3 variant lineup with the launch of the C3X trims, which bring several in-demand features, such as a 360-degree parking camera, keyless entry, auto IRVM, and cruise control. Additionally, the entire price range has been revised, making the car even more affordable. The C3 now starts at Rs 5.25 lakh, with the top variant priced at Rs 9.89 lakh (ex-showroom). All prices are in introductory stage.
Citroen India has launched a new Sport Edition of the C3. This new Sport Edition features fresh decals, Sport Edition seat covers, a sport pedal kit, ambient lighting, and upgraded carpets. The brand is offering the Sport Edition exclusively with a turbo engine option at an additional cost of Rs 21,000 over the regular turbo edition. Moreover, an optional tech pack that includes a dashcam and a wireless charger has been introduced for Rs 15,000.

Pros & Cons of C3 X
Looks good and offers a striking design
Comes with a fuel-efficient 1.2-litre NA petrol and a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine
The 6-speed manual transmission is smooth and offers light gearshifts
The cabin is well laid out with practical storage spaces
It offers good features such as a digital instrument cluster, 10-inch infotainment with wireless connectivity among other features
It offers multiple customization options to suit different kinds of buyers
The suspension is comfortable and the hatchback offers good handling
The cost-cutting measures are noticeable within the cabin
There is no option for an automatic transmission
The top-spec variant is priced at Rs 9 lakh (ex-showroom), which is relatively high for its segment
The integrated headrests are not ergonomically comfortable
The cabin width accommodates four adults comfortably, but fitting five people might be uncomfortable
The limited availability of service centers and dealer networks poses a concern for long-term reliability
Should I buy the C3 X?
The Citroen C3 provides a comfortable ride and a satisfactory range of features, although it may not offer the best in its segment. It boasts good ride quality and handling, along with a variety of customization options, a turbo petrol engine, and a smooth transmission. However, competing cars in this segment, such as the Hyundai Exter and Tata Punch, offer more premium features. If you prioritize standing out from the crowd, the Citroen C3 may be the choice for you. Yet, for those seeking long-term reliability and a robust sales and service network, the offerings from Hyundai and Tata might be preferable alternatives.
