Citroen expands C3 hatchback lineup with new ‘Feel’ variant: Price, what’s new
Citroen India has expanded its C3 hatchback range with the launch of a new mid-spec ‘Feel’ variant, priced at Rs 6.48 lakh, ex-showroom. While the C3’s mechanical setup remains unchanged, the French carmaker has introduced several practical updates to make the model more attractive in the competitive hatchback segment.
Citroen C3 Feel variant: What’s new
The new Feel variant slots between the base Live and Feel (O) trims. It brings with it additions such as remote keyless entry, electrically adjustable ORVMs, rear power windows, dual front airbags, LED DRLs, roof rails, a spare wheel, and a passenger sun visor with a vanity mirror. The Feel (O) trim also gets a few extra touches like turn indicators integrated into the ORVMs and front seat adjustable headrests.
Besides these changes, all variants of the Citroen C3 are now E20 fuel compliant, meaning they can run on petrol blended with up to 20% ethanol. Supporting this change is a larger 45-litre fuel tank, replacing the older 30-litre one.
Apart from these changes, the C3 continues with the same powertrain options: a 1.2-litre NA petrol motor that makes 81 bhp and 115 Nm of torque paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine producing 108 bhp and 190 Nm, offered with either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic.
Lastly, Citroën has also added a new black paint option to the top-spec Shine variant. The C3’s price range now starts from Rs 6.23 lakh and goes up to Rs 10.19 lakh for the recently introduced Dark Edition. The Feel variant, on the other hand, is priced at 7.52 lakh, ex-showroom.
