Citroen will launch the C3 on July 20 in India while its bookings will open from July 2022. The carmaker has now shared the torque and fuel efficiency numbers with us. Let’s take a look:

Citroen will provide the C3 only with two petrol engines. The carmaker has not announced any automatic transmission for now. The C3 promises to offer a better fuel economy than almost all its premium hatchback rivals save for the Maruti Baleno, which offers a claimed fuel efficiency of over 22kmpl.

While the C3’s power output is almost on par with its close competitors, it gets the highest torque figure for a turbocharged unit among its targeted rivals. It’s only the Hyundai i20 whose turbo-petrol version gets 10PS more power than the Citroen while the Altroz Turbo’s power number equals that of the C3. The Maruti Baleno, on the other hand, doesn’t get a turbo-petrol unit.
