Citroen C3X Interior Leaked Ahead of India Launch; Shows Bigger Infotainment System

Citroen India intends to expand its model range with the addition of the C3X crossover. Although no formal announcements have been made, the new car is predicted to go on sale in early 2024. The C3X crossover has been spotted undergoing road tests in India on a few occasions. It has been sighted recently testing its roadworthiness on local roads, allowing us a look inside. The upcoming Citroen C3X appears to share interior components with its siblings, the C3 and the C3 Aircross, according to released spy pictures. The spy shots reveal that the car gets the same dashboard as the C3, which includes a digital driver's display, a 10-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, vertical AC vents on either end as well as a 3-spoke multifunction steering wheel. It is worth noting that these observations are based on spy images, and the carmaker has made no announcements about the new vehicle so far.

Citroen C3X: Exterior and Powertrain

The recent leaked photos don't reveal much about the external design. Market reports, however, indicate that C3X can get a comparable front fascia as the C3 Aircross, which features a split headlamp structure and a slender grille with the brand's logo. As far as mechanical components are concerned, the upcoming C3X is expected to be propelled by the identical 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine found in other Citroen models. This motor paired with a manual or automatic transmission, produces 108bhp and 189Nm. 

Citroen C3X: India Launch

As previously stated, the Citroen C3X is expected to arrive in India by early 2024. There has been no formal confirmation as of yet. According to industry reports, Citroen may place the new C3X in the C-segment, which is currently occupied by vehicles such as the Maruti Suzuki Grand Vitara, the Hyundai Creta, and the Kia Seltos. The C3X, like the C3 Aircross, could be cost cheaper than the aforementioned B-segment SUVs and more in line with B2-segment vehicles like the Hyundai Venue and Marut Suzuki Brezza.
