C3 Competitors
Citroen showcased the updated C3 at the same event where it unveiled the Basalt coupe-SUV. The C3, which was Citroen’s first mass-market model in India, had struggled due to a lack of equipment. However, this refresh addresses those shortcomings, making it a more competitive contender against rivals like the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter.
