Citroen C3 Engine Specifications

You have a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated and turbo-petrol option. Citroen isn’t offering an automatic gearbox with the C3 just yet, which feels like a big miss. All the cars in this price range get the convenience of an automatic.

The Competition

The Citroen C3 has a range of competitors. In terms of pricing, it goes directly against the Maruti Wagon R, Celerio, Swift, Tata Tiago and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios. It’s a larger alternative to these cars, and with the turbo engine, it’s a more powerful option too. But in terms of dimensions and engine specifications, it rivals the Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger, Tata Punch, and premium hatchbacks like Maruti Baleno, Hyundai i20, Tata Altroz, Honda Jazz, and Toyota Glanza. So basically, you can also see it as a more affordable alternative to the premium hatchbacks but with less features. 

Citroen offers a standard vehicle warranty for two years or 40,000 kilometres, whichever is earlier. It will be sold through 20 La Maison Citroen showrooms across 19 cities. The customers can also buy the C3 directly from the factory and delivered at their doorstep
