About the Citroën C3 X
Citroën’s comfort-first hatchback — PureTech petrol with a soft ride, raised SUV-like stance and a roomy cabin at a value price.
The Citroën C3 X is a compact hatchback built on the brand’s localised ‘Smart Car’ platform, pitched on comfort, distinctive French styling and value. It runs a 1.2L PureTech petrol — naturally aspirated (81 bhp) or turbocharged (108 bhp) — with a 5-speed manual, 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic, plus a dealer-fit CNG option.
Highlights include a 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a high seating position, generous boot and Citroën’s signature soft suspension. Priced from around ₹5 lakh, it undercuts most rivals while offering strong personalisation.

“The C3 is a no-nonsense urban runabout that punches above its weight with a lively 108bhp engine and capable 205Nm torque—genuinely fun for city driving. At under ₹5 lakh, it pairs practical five-seat comfort with six airbags and real-world fuel efficiency of 28.1 kmpl, making it both safe and economical. The tech suite is modest but purposeful, and build quality feels honest; it's not a luxury machine, but it's exactly what most Indian buyers actually need.
