Citroën India has officially launched the Citroen C3 2025 facelift, and it brings a fresh vibe to the entry-level hatchback segment. With its SUV-like stance, signature French styling, and improved cabin features, the new C3 aims to be a stylish and affordable alternative for urban buyers.
Refined Styling with Sporty Elements
The 2025 C3 gets subtle cosmetic upgrades including a redesigned front grille, new LED DRLs, and updated dual-tone bumpers. The split-headlamp design is retained, giving it a bold road presence. Black cladding around the wheel arches and doors continues to give the C3 an SUV-inspired appeal. Citroën is also offering new color options and contrast roof designs for added personalization.
Updated Interiors with More Tech
Inside, the facelifted Citroën C3 features a revised dashboard with soft-touch accents, new seat upholstery, and an updated infotainment system. The 10.2-inch touchscreen now supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. There’s a new digital instrument cluster, multiple USB ports, and a cooled glovebox as well. The overall layout feels more premium than before.
Powerful Turbo Petrol Engine
The Citroën C3 2025 continues to offer two petrol engine options:
- 1.2L Naturally Aspirated Petrol (82PS, 5-speed manual)
- 1.2L Turbo Petrol (110PS, 6-speed manual)
Both variants deliver a punchy driving experience, especially the turbo trim which feels sprightly in city and highway conditions. The claimed mileage is around 19.3 kmpl, depending on the variant.
Comfortable Ride and Safety Features
The C3’s ride quality remains its strong point, with a suspension setup tuned for Indian roads. It absorbs potholes and bumps with ease, offering a smooth urban commute. On the safety front, the 2025 model includes dual airbags, ABS with EBD, reverse parking sensors, and a speed alert system as standard.
Variants, Pricing and Competition
The Citroën C3 2025 is available in multiple variants, starting at ₹6.25 lakh (ex-showroom) for the base model and going up to ₹8.95 lakh for the turbo variant. It competes with Tata Punch, Maruti Swift, Hyundai Grand i10 Nios, and Renault Kiger in the compact hatch/SUV crossover space.
Final Verdict
The Citroën C3 2025 facelift makes a stronger case with its SUV-inspired design, turbocharged performance, and practical features. It’s ideal for first-time car buyers, city commuters, and anyone looking for a fun-to-drive yet fuel-efficient hatchback with a premium edge.
