The new Citroën C3 2025, with its European vibe, will be a welcome addition to India’s premium hatchback and compact SUV segment. This has made the C3 especially popular among urban buyers who want to buy something that’s different from the bunch of Maruti / Tata / Hyundai cars that many of their friends already own. The 2025 iteration revamps the model with updated features, updated safety, and more value, competing well in its class.
Design and Styling
Design/Exteriors The C3 2025 carries forward the global design language introduced by Citroën, with a striking double-chevron logo up front, split LED DRLs and SUV-like cladding. High ground clearance, thick wheel arches and dual-tone shades make it a rugged but upmarket-looking little crossover. It’s small enough to use in the city, but sculpted body lines make it also sporty to behold.
The car also keeps Citroën’s hallmark levels of personalisation with the roof, alloys and colour themes to be customised by buyers, helping it differ from competitors.
Engine and Performance
Engines of the Citroën C3 2025 are both petrol engines:
- 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol – 82 PS of power and 115 Nm of torque – paired with a 5-speed manual transmission
- 1.2-litre turbo petrol (110 PS, 190 Nm torque) with 6 speed manual
Both engines provide refinled performance, and the turbo petrol is fun and lively for rural touring and city residence. Expected average is about 19-20 kmpl for NA and 17-18 kmpl for the turbo petrol.
Features and Technology
There’s now a big change in the C3 2025’s list of features: This time, all the problem points are covered. Key highlights include:
- 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay
- Adjustable digital dash Display It CAN DO THAT TOO!
- Automatic climate control
- Wireless smartphone charging
- Rear parking camera with sensors
- Premium sound system
These are added highlights so as to make the car a more credible competitor to key rivals like the Maruti Baleno, Tata Altroz or Hyundai i20.
Safety
The Citroën C3 2025 is safer with the following:
- Dual airbags (standard)
- ABS with EBD
- ESC in the top-end versions
- Hill-start assist
- ISOFIX child seat mounts
- Supported body shell for added crash protection
According to these changes, the C3 would comply today, although its performance fell far short of modern city and family car standards.
Price and Variants
The Citroën C3 2025 could be priced between ₹6 lakh and ₹10.5 lakh (ex-showroom, India) depending upon the variant and the engine options for products. The SUV will come with NA and Turbo Petrol mated to a choice of interior and exterior decor.
Final Verdict
The Citroën C3 2025 is a youthful, modern hatchback, styled to look like an SUV, with a host of features to make life really easy. It targets buyers looking for one of a kind European auto, strong design and customization, and sophisticated driving characteristics. Thanks to new equipment, increased safety, and a values-refresh, the C3 is now a much more competitive proposition in India’s congested hatchback scene.
