Citroen is gearing up to launch its fourth product under the C-Cubed program in India, and all signs point towards the highly anticipated C3X coupe SUV. This launch is expected to be a game-changer for Citroen, potentially boosting the brand's volume sales which the C3/eC3 and Aircross have been striving for.
Upgraded Cabin and Features
The C3X speculated to be a blend of the C3 Aircross's front design and a sleek, sloping rear roofline, is expected to draw inspiration from the existing C4X crossover. The upgraded cabin, set to debut with the C3 Aircross in July, will be a significant highlight of the C3X.
Features anticipated include:
- Climate control
- LED headlamps and taillamps
- Keyless entry with button start
- Leatherette upholstery
- Cooled glove box
- Armrest for driver and second-row passengers
- Six airbags across the range
- 360-degree camera package
Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the C3X is expected to be powered by Citroen's 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine. This engine is capable of producing 109bhp and 190Nm of torque when paired with the six-speed manual transmission and 109bhp and 205Nm of torque when mated to the six-speed torque converter automatic.
Rivals and Launch Expectations
Upon its launch, the C3X is set to compete with the Tata Curvv petrol, another anticipated launch in the mid-size SUV segment. The C3X's entry into the market is expected to be around the middle of this year adding a new dimension to Citroen's offerings in India and marking its foray into the increasingly popular coupe SUV segment.
Citroen's new model, the C3X is expected to have a big impact on the Indian automobile market.
