Citroen India has officially announced that the new C3 will be launched in the country on July 20, 2022. The all-new Citroen C3 was globally unveiled in September 2021 and it is the first of three models under the company’s C-Cubed program. Pre-bookings for the same will commence on the 1st of July and it will get a host of customisation options as well.
The new Citroen C3 is essentially a sub-compact SUV. However, the company officially terms it a ‘hatchback with a twist’. In terms of design, it does look quirky and gets Citroen’s signature grille flanked by split headlamps at the front. The side profile features multi-spoke alloys and it sports body-cladding all around with skid plates at the front and rear. Â
