The Citroen C3X, with its distinctive crossover profile, aims to carve a unique niche among its competitors. It will be positioned alongside similar-sized sedans like the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, Skoda Slavia, and Volkswagen Virtus. One potential draw for customers could be the affordable pricing strategy employed by Citroen, a tactic that has been successful with its other car models.
Interior And Features

Notable highlights include a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch TFT instrument cluster, Bluetooth connectivity, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and a variety of connectivity features. In terms of safety, the C3X may be equipped with a comprehensive kit, including 6 airbags, hill hold assist, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), rear parking sensors and camera, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
