Mumbai, August 19: French automaker Citroen on Monday announced the launch of an updated C3 Aircross hatchback with an automatic gearbox and a range of new features in the country. It’s worth noting that the hatchback was offered previously with manual transmission options only. With prices starting from INR 6.16 lakh (ex-showroom) for the manual variants, the brand has yet to announce the variant-wise price of the automatic variants.
Aesthetically, the Citroen C3 is identical to the previous model. The hatchback now gets projector LED headlamps for the top-spec Shine trim, replacing the previously offered halogen units. Moreover, the car also gets electrically adjustable outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) integrated into wing mirrors. Hyundai Venue S+ Variant With Electric Sunroof Launched in India.
