Citroën C3 Sport Edition launched at ₹6.44 lakh with Tech kit option: Features, design and more details
Citroën India has unveiled the new C3 Sport Edition, priced at ₹ 6.44 lakh (ex-showroom). Available in limited numbers, this special edition adds a dose of youthful energy to the standard C3, blending enhanced styling, sport-themed accessories, and a bold new paint option aimed at urban drivers who favour individuality and a dynamic presence on the road.
The C3 Sport Edition commands a premium of ₹ 21,000 over the regular variants and is also available with an optional 'Tech Kit', priced at ₹ 15,000. This additional pack includes a dashcam and wireless charger, catering to tech-savvy consumers who prioritise convenience and safety.
The exterior of the C3 Sport Edition is marked by bespoke 'SPORT' decals that accentuate its limited-edition identity. The most striking addition is the Garnet Red paint scheme, introduced for the first time in the C3 range. This vivid new colour enhances the car's street presence and distinguishes it from the standard offerings.
Further visual enhancements include race-inspired pedals, custom seat covers, and seatbelt cushions, all of which contribute to a sportier cabin ambience. Ambient lighting has also been added to elevate the overall in-car experience, particularly during night drives.
Inside, the C3 Sport Edition features several comfort-focused and aesthetic upgrades. The sport-inspired seat covers and floor mats reinforce its youthful appeal, while the seatbelt cushions offer additional comfort for longer journeys. The ambient lighting adds a layer of sophistication to an otherwise practical cabin.
These additions sit alongside existing features such as an 8-inch infotainment screen with smartphone connectivity, offering a connected and urban-friendly driving experience.
Mechanically, the C3 Sport Edition remains unchanged and is offered with the same pair of petrol engines as the standard C3. The entry-level 1.2-litre PureTech 82 engine delivers 81 bhp and 115 Nm of torque, paired with a five-speed manual gearbox.
For those seeking more performance, the turbocharged 1.2-litre PureTech 110 engine produces 108 bhp and 205 Nm of torque. This variant is available with either a six-speed manual or an automatic transmission, and is capable of accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in a claimed 10 seconds. Fuel efficiency across the range varies from 18.3 to 19.3 km/l, depending on the engine and gearbox configuration.

Citroen C3 impacted in Europe over airbag issue, recall on card. Should you be worried too?
A mechanic removes from a Citroen car an airbag module made by the Japanese airbag manufacturer Takata, in a garage in Mulhouse, eastern France. (AFP) Check Offers Citroen has urged the owners of C3 and DS3 models in Europe to stop driving the cars after the latest airbag-related death. The French auto giant on Tuesday told the owners of the C3 and DS3 models on the continent equipped with potentially faulty Takata airbags to immediately cease driving the vehicles. The move comes after a woman was killed in France earlier this month. The immobilisation order has affected around 441,000 units of Citroen C3 and DS3 cars in Europe, on top of the hundreds of thousands already recalled by the OEM since early last year. AFP has reported that a recall is on the cards from the automaker for the potentially impacted models owing to the faulty Takata airbags. This comes as the latest move in a recall scandal dating from 2014, after investigators determined the airbags had caused several deaths because they exploded when deployed in the case of an accident. Earlier this month, the French government urged Citroen, which is currently owned by the Stellantis group, to issue an immediate immobilisation order to the owners of the impacted models after a 37-year-old woman was killed when her car's airbag malfunctioned during an accident, projecting parts into her. This was the 13th death linked to the defective Takata airbags in dozens of accidents in France, reported the news agency. Until now, Citroen had only asked drivers to make appointments to have the airbags replaced, a process carried out in multiple stages since early 2024. However, the move to tell the C3 owners to stop driving the vehicles comes as a new step from the automaker, which is alarming. Speaking about this, Citroen's CEO Xavier Chardon, has reportedly said, "Given the circumstances, we have decided to issue a 'stop drive' to accelerate their repair." Citroen is not the only affected car manufacturer in the world owing to the Takata airbag scandal. Several other major global auto manufacturers, including Volkswagen, Nissan, BMW and Toyota, have also been impacted due to the issue. These auto manufacturers have recalled millions of vehicles containing the Takata airbags. Citroen sells the C3 model in India as well, alongside other cars such as the Basalt, Aircross, eC3, and C5 Aircross. Citroen India is yet to announce such a move for the consumers of C3 in the country. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2024, Best SUVs in India. First Published Date: 18 Jun 2025, 07:38 AM IST
