New update
Finally, Citroen is going to offer an automatic gearbox option on the C3. It will be the same 6-speed torque converter gearbox that was also introduced on the C3 Aircross. This automatic gearbox will be paired with a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine capable of producing 108bhp and 190Nm of torque. Additionally, this engine also comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox. The C3 also comes with a second engine option which is a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine option capable of producing 80bhp and 115Nm of torque. This engine only comes with a manual gearbox option.
New features coming
Apart from the automatic gearbox, Citroen will be adding new features to the C3 hatchback. These new features could include automatic AC, foldable key and LED headlights. Along with that, Citroen is also expected to add safety features like 6-airbags, ISOFIX and rear seat belt reminders to all its cars including the C3. Hopefully, these safety features will help Citroen score better crash test ratings.
