French carmaker Citroen is expected to unveil its second offering in India, the affordable C3 hatchback, later in June. A new RTO document gives us some insight into the upcoming C3’s powertrains, and we have good news! In addition to a standard 1.2-litre petrol engine, the C3 will also get a more powerful turbo-petrol engine option. It’ll be offered in Live and Feel variants.

The new Citroen C3 will get petrol-only powertrains which are similar to the Puretech engines offered in Europe.

A 5-speed manual transmission will be offered as standard, and automatic option (7-speed DCT) is expected to be available as well. Going by the RTO document, the turbo-petrol engine will likely be offered in the top-spec Feel trim level.

We also got a look at the upcoming C3’s dimensions in the documents. It bears large-hatchback proportions with its length, width and wheelbase and stands as tall as some of its subcompact SUV rivals.
