Citroën C3 Sport Edition: Citroën is set to disrupt the compact SUV market again with the soon-to-launch C3 Sport Edition. This new version of the C3 is set to appeal to young, fashion-forward buyers with its ramped-up sporty character and premium updates, without giving away on either performance or safety.
Sporty Exterior with Rally-Inspired Design
The new Citroën C3 Sport Edition introduces a new, sporty appearance, courtesy of rally-inspired decal styling that delivers a more powerful stance to the car. Created with the young in mind, the edition captures a strong attitude outside that grabs attention on the roads, a far cry from the regular model in terms of appearance.
Interior That Matches the Attitude
Within, the Sport Edition maintains the sporty ambiance with red seat accents and aggressive ‘SPORT’ badging. The new cabin also gets ambient lighting, bringing a premium touch while driving at night. These additions make for a lively yet comfortable atmosphere that takes in-cabin experience to a new level.
Additional Features for Daily Convenience
Citroën has added a couple of new technology features in this release. Customers will receive a wireless charger and a dashcam now—two sensible additions to contemporary driving requirements. These are convenience-oriented additions without changing the fundamental nature of the SUV.
Core Features Remain Intact
While the Sport Edition introduces visual and tech enhancements, thetested features of the standard C3 continue. It continues to have a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment unit with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a 7-inch digital cluster, auto-fold ORVMs, a 4-speaker sound system, and automatic climate control. All of these add up to a well-rounded and tech-savvy driving experience.
No Mechanical Modifications Under the Bonnet
Despite the cosmetic and tech enhancements, the Citroën C3 Sport Edition retains the same 1.2-liter turbo petrol motor. This motor churns out a healthy 108.6bhp and 205Nm of torque. A 6-speed automatic gearbox should be available, keeping performance just as punchy and smooth as before.
Safety Features Remain Unchanged
Citroën has not cut corners on safety even in this limited edition. Equipped like its base model, the Sport Edition also offers 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), hill hold assist, rearview camera, tyre pressure monitoring system (TPMS), and ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Expected Price and Market Position
The Citroën C3 Sport Edition is likely to be priced around Rs.30,000 more than the existing top model. Through this pricing strategy, the company wants to attract the attention of young customers who seek more style and exclusivity without compromising on the trusted features of the conventional model.
