Citroen C3 & C3 Aircross To Get New Features – Facelift Models Still A Year Away
The Citroen C3 and C3 Aircross are part of the French Automaker’s C-Cubed programme in India. While both these models have managed to grab the attention of Indian buyers, they are often criticised for lack of features.
To put that into perspective, the Citroen C3 Aircross, which competes against the likes of Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, Skoda Kushaq, and other C-segment SUVs, lacks some of the essential features in the segment such as an auto AC function or even a foldable key.
We think both the Citroen C3 and the C3 Aircross might have tasted tremendous success in India if these models were launched 10 years ago. However, customers are more demanding now with a strong penchant for premium features (Thanks to South Koreans).
According to Citroen India, the company is looking forward to introducing some updates to the C3 range of models in India. These updates will include some additional features to make the model feel more modern and contemporary.
In fact, the upcoming Citroen C3 range of models are expected to get features such as flooding key and auto climate control. While these upcoming new features are likely to grab more attention from potential customers in India, they still do not completely address the issue.
To counter this, Citroen is likely to launch the facelifted version of the C3 and C3 Aircross models in India. These updated models are likely to hit the Indian automobile market before the middle of 2025.
We expect these facelifted models of the Citroen C3 and C3 Aircross models to come with more modern features such as LED headlights, powered ORVMs, automatic climate control, and a more upmarket-looking digital instrument cluster.
That being said, Citroen India is looking forward to launching a new model in India, the C3X Crossover. This model will have the shape of a sedan, the high ground clearance of an SUV, a coupe-like roofline, and is likely to sport a notchback tailgate.
Thoughts About The Citroen C3 & C3 Aircross Updates
We expect Citroen India to soon dispatch C3 and C3 Aircross models with updated features to attract more customers ahead of the upcoming festive season in India. Also, we expect a slight price hike as soon as updated models start dispatching.
