- Citroen C3 is priced from Rs 5.88 lakh to Rs 8.15 lakh, ex-showroom, Delhi
- It rivals Tata Punch, Maruti Ignis and some variants of Nissan Magnite as well
- Citroen is also gearing up for the launch of C3 7-seater soon in the Indian market
Citroen first launched C5 Aircross in the Indian market. Post that, they introduced a mass-segment car, C3 and this was priced way lower than their debut car. However, even with the pricing done right, there were basic things that this car misses out on in terms of features. And Indians love features. Now, due to the low sales, Citroen is offering a good discount on the C3, however, this is for a limited time frame only.
The C3 is getting a flat Rs 10,000 corporate discount or government discount. Additionally, they are also providing Rs 10,000 exchange on any of your old car. Not only this, they are offering an easy EMI scheme where you only have to pay a monthly amount of Rs 6,666. However, this offer is valid on pure eligibility only. If you're eligible then you can grab this deal.
In addition to the above offers, the French carmaker also provides two years of maintenance package. One can grab all these offers by visiting the nearest Citroen dealerships and get an idea of the deals. Also, if you trust your bargaining skills then you can ask for more deals as well.
