Citroen unveiled the C3 hatchback last year and people have been waiting for its launch ever since. The car has been spotted testing on countless occasions with multiple information already out there. But today, we have received new spy shots of this hatchback. The spy shots hint towards the mid-variant Citroen C3. In this article, we discuss everything that we can make out from these spy shots.

What can be spotted?

From the spy shots, we can see that the car is finished in a single-tone silver paint colour. Contrasting coloured elements are expected to be available in dual-tone variants only, which are clearly missing from this particular car. Even rear silver skid plates are missing from this expected mid-variant. Moreover, we also notice the absence of fog lamps. One thing that can be confirmed here is that this is not the top variant of the C3 anyhow. The top variant will come contrasting coloured accents, fog lamps and silvered-out rear skid plate. These spy shots do not give us a glance of the wheels so we miss out on the information regarding whether the mid-variants get regular steel wheels or alloy wheels. We also get to see piano-black ORVMs. The Citroen C3 will miss out of indicators on the ORVMs and would rather get it directly placed on the body.

The spy shots of the rear profile indirectly give us a glimpse of some bits of the interior as well. We can confirm that this particular mid-variant will get the 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Any sort of dimming function for IRVM is also missing from this variant as seen in the spy shots. Since, Citroen is offering the touchscreen, we expect steering-mounted controls to also be on offer in this variant.

What else do we know?

The new Citroen C3 will be built on a CMP modular platform. This platform is also capable of housing EV-specific bits. Citroen has already confirmed its plans of launching an electric vehicle based on the C3 next year (2023). You can read the article on the electric C3 by clicking the link below. Coming back, this hatchback will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine mated to a five-speed manual and a seven-speed DCT gearbox.

The Citroen C3 is expected to launch very soon in India. A starting price of Rs 5.50 lakhs (ex-showroom) is expected. It will compete with premium hatchbacks like the Maruti Baleno, Toyota Glanza, Tata Altroz, and the Hyundai i20. The car, although being marketed as a hatchback is also expected to take on the Tata Punch and some affordable compact SUVs.
