Citroen’s only hatchback for India is offered with multiple powertrain options. There is a choice of a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.2-litre turbo-petrol unit producing 110PS and 190Nm. The former is paired to a five-speed manual and puts out 82PS and 115Nm, while the turbo-petrol unit is geared using a six-speed manual. The hatchback gets no diesel engine or automatic transmission options.

Citroen offers the C3 with a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, height-adjustable driver seat, four-speaker sound system, a digital instrument cluster and steering-mounted audio controls. On the safety front, it gets dual airbags, ABS with EBD and rear parking sensors.
