- Climate control, LED headlights added
- Price revision expected
On sale since mid-2022, the Citroen C3 has steadily had feature updates every now and then to improve its value quotient. This time around, the hatchback has received its most substantial update yet when it comes to features. At the ongoing national media drive of the upcoming Basalt coupe SUV, Citroen India has also showcased the updated C3 hatchback with more features as standard in its most expensive trim level.
These include LED projector headlights, auto climate control, a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, six airbags and auto folding wing mirrors. Mechanically, there are no changes and the C3 continues to be powered by a 1.2-litre, three-cylinder petrol engine which can be had either as a naturally aspirated unit or a turbocharged unit.
We have tested the latter for its real-world mileage and in our city driving cycle, the C3 turbo petrol MT returned a mileage of 11.7kmpl, with the MID indicating 11.9kmpl. Similarly, during the highway test, it returned a fuel efficiency of 17.58kmpl, while the MID showed 18kmpl. Like the updated C3 Aircross, the updated C3 is expected to have a price hike. We will know the exact numbers once Citroen India officially launches the car.
