Citroen C3, C3 Aircross Facelifts To Arrive Early Next Year
Citroen is revamping its Indian lineup in 2025 with a focus on both style and functionality. The 2025 Citroen C3 and the C3 Aircross will sport a sharper look, characterized by restyled lamps and sculpted bumpers. This design update embraces classic French automotive design.Based on customer feedback, Citroen is bringing back features previously missing from the Indian market. The top-of-the-line C3 Aircross will be well-equipped to compete, featuring must-haves like LED headlamps, keyless entry, and a sunroof.
Citroen isn't forgetting about comfort and convenience either. Expect the C3 Aircross to offer features like ventilated front seats, automatic climate control, and wireless charging. Plus, the popular flexible seating options will remain, ensuring maximum passenger comfort.
Retained Mechanics
The facelifted models will retain the same engine options and recently introduced automatic transmission. Currently, the C3 Aircross features a 109bhp 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine available with a six-speed manual or automatic gearbox. Meanwhile, the C3 offers two engine choices: a 1.2-litre turbo paired with a six-speed manual, and a naturally aspirated 1.2-litre unit producing 81bhp, available only with a five-speed manual transmission.

Expected Price And Rivals
Expect a slight price increase with the added features and cosmetic updates on the facelifted models. However, it's crucial for the Aircross to maintain competitiveness against rivals like the Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, and others. Meanwhile, the C3 hatchback competes with the Tata Punch, Maruti Ignis, Renault Kiger, and others.
Verdict
Overall, the 2025 Citroen lineup seems set to impress with a combination of stylish design, feature upgrades, and a continued focus on passenger comfort. The biggest upgrade will be the induction of mass market features that are missing on the current models. However, keeping in mind the pricing, there isn't much to complain.
