That’s right, Citroen has got the pricing right this time around for its hatchback offering for the Indian market. The C3 prices start at INR 5.70 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi. There are two main trims available: Live and Feel, with the turbo petrol engine exclusive to the latter.

Feel dual-tone 6,77,500

What the h is a Vibe Pack?! Well, you get contrast elements such as fog light surrounds, mirror caps and side body cladding inserts; you have Orange and Grey options for this. As for dual-tone paint, you have 6 options.

The C3 made its debut last September, and is made specifically for Indian and South American markets. It is different from the C3 that is sold in Europe. Key exterior features include halogen headlights, LED running lights, black roof rails, and 15-inch wheels.

Inside, you get a 10.2-inch central touchscreen, Mirror Screen for connectivity, digital instrument display, manual AC with heater, height adjustable driver seat, and steering wheel with audio and phone controls. Safety systems include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, front seat belt reminder, reverse parking sensors, and speed sensitive auto door lock. Download the brochure here.

Moving on to the juicy bits of the story, the powertrain options start with a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine with 60 kW (81.5 metric hp) and 115 Nm (85 lb-ft) of torque, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. And then you have a 1.2-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that pumps out 81 kW (110 metric hp) and 190 Nm (140 lb-ft) of torque; this engine is paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. And yes, there’s no automatic option yet.
