Citroen C3 Sport Edition Launched in India at ₹6.23 Lakh: New Design, Same Power

The Citroen C3 Sport Edition is the name of the new special edition of the C3 hatchback that Citroen India has released. The base model costs ₹6.23 lakh (ex-showroom) and focuses solely on aesthetic modifications and interior upgrades, leaving the mechanics alone.

The Citroën C3 Sport Edition is primarily a cosmetic enhancement of the base model. It has several cosmetic and feature enhancements that give it a more athletic appearance.

The introduction of a new garnet red body hue, only available for the Sport Edition, is one of the most noticeable improvements. The vehicle has striking body graphics, 'Sport Edition' stickers, and black roof rails to improve visibility, all of which go well with the new hue. Additionally, Citroën has made it more visible on the road by adding premium body cladding and contrast trim.

Interior Updates with a Sporty Touch

The interior of the C3 Sport Edition has received several upgrades meant to enhance the driving experience. The cabin gets new red and black leatherette seat covers with sporty designs. In addition, the seats come with special Sport branding, and the interior is further enhanced by ambient lighting, which gives the cabin a premium look, especially during night driving.

Along with the outside, Citroën has included sporty metal pedals, personalized floor mats, and seatbelt cushions as well. These small aspects collectively add to the new design of the car and a lively atmosphere.

Optional Tech Pack with Extra Features

Citroën is also offering an optional Tech Pack with the Sport Edition for an extra price of ₹15,000. The pack includes a dashcam and wireless mobile charger, both of which are practical features for the car. These are popular offerings among modern drivers who are looking for convenience and safety in their cars.

Engine and Performance: No Changes

While the Sport Edition causes notable changes in the looks and the ambiance of the C3, none of these are made to the engine or mechanical layout. The car continues to be offered with the same two petrol engine options:

• 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine churning out 82 PS with a 5-speed manual transmission.

• 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine producing 110 PS, with a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter auto gearbox.

That way, customers get the same fuel economy and dynamics of the regular C3 but in a sportier overall package.

Available In All Trims

Citroën has launched the Sport Edition kit on all three of the current trims of the C3, Live, Feel, and Shine. The Sport Edition kit as an add-on differs by trim level and costs about ₹21,000 more than the standard model. The entire package, including the optional Tech Pack, can add ₹15,000.

The strategy enables customers to select their desired variant and reap the styling advantage of the Sport Edition without sacrificing anything.

The C3 Sport Edition's starting variant's price of ₹6.23 lakh is perfect for those looking for something new without going overboard. This new offering is also attempting to generate buzz about the C3, which rivals mass-selling hatchbacks such as the Tata Punch, Maruti Suzuki Ignis, and Hyundai Exter.

The C3 Sport Edition might be worth considering if you're searching for a trustworthy hatchback that's also fashionable and somewhat higher quality.
