Citroen will provide the C3 only with two petrol engines. The carmaker has not announced any automatic transmission for now. The C3 promises to offer a better fuel economy than almost all its premium hatchback rivals save for the Maruti Baleno, which offers a claimed fuel efficiency of over 22kmpl.

While the C3’s power output is almost on par with its close competitors, it gets the highest torque figure for a turbocharged unit among its targeted rivals. It’s only the Hyundai i20 whose turbo-petrol version gets 10PS more power than the Citroen while the Altroz Turbo’s power number equals that of the C3. The Maruti Baleno, on the other hand, doesn’t get a turbo-petrol unit.
