Latest Spy Video Gives Another Glimpse Of Upcoming Citroen SUV

• Likely to be powered by a 110PS, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine. 

• Could get a seven-seater layout as well. 

• Should get an automatic transmission option right from the launch. 

• Likely to be priced from Rs 9 lakh onwards (ex-showroom). 

Citroen’s next ICE-powered vehicle for India has been spied once again, revealing several key details about the upcoming compact-sized SUV. It will be a Hyundai Creta rival and is expected to be launched sometime in 2023. 

Latest spy video reveals new details 

The upcoming Citroen SUV is significantly larger than the carmaker’s entry-level C3 hatchback. It bears familiar styling cues such as eyebrow DRLs and split headlights, alongside a similar taillight design as the C3.  

The SUV is expected to get a three-row seating layout that would make it the first seven-seater from the French carmaker in India. 

Standing next to a Kia Seltos, the Citroen SUV seems to be similarly tall and wide. It’ll be a compact-sized SUV that will rival the likes of the Skoda Kushaq, Volkswagen Taigun and MG Astor. 

Powertrains and features expected 

It’s likely that the upcoming Citroen SUV will offer the C3’s 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that’s tuned for 110PS and 190Nm in the hatchback. Unlike the C3 that’s manual-only, the SUV should get an automatic option right from the launch in addition to the standard six-speed manual gearbox. 

Also, it’ll likely get more features than the relatively sparsely-equipped C3, including a sunroof, automatic climate control, six airbags and push-button start-stop. That said, the C3’s massive 10-inch touchscreen could be carried over to the SUV as well.
