Citroen entered the blooming Indian automotive market in 2021 with its premium SUV C5 Aircross, which was a well-designed product. However, it was not the product that would appeal to the mass-market where compact SUVs and premium hatchbacks are ruling the roost. 

But with C3, the French automaker has taken a great step forward to allure young and first-time buyers looking for a stylish-looking, funky, reasonably priced vehicle that fits between a hatchback and a compact SUV. With this radical new approach, the carmaker aims to target a handsome chunk of potential buyers.

On the outside, the C3 follows the similar design philosophy of the elder sibling C5 Aircross. The front profile features split LED projector headlights, a slim grille, a hexagonal air dam, and an X-shaped faux scuff plate offering a beefier look. 

Turn to the sides, and the hatchback cum compact SUV silhouette is visible. Black cladding all-round, 15-inch steel wheels (alloys optional) and wraparound taillamps complete the overall external design. The C3 comes with a ground clearance of 180 mm, which is more than enough for Indian road conditions.

The interiors come with a dotted-pattern dashboard that catches the attention instantly. The panel can be chosen from either anodized grey or orange colours. The brushed metal part on the bottom of the flat-bottom steering wheel looks classy. The ergonomics of the car are satisfactory, with a clear view of the road in front.
