Citroën C3, ëC3 Get New Colour Cosmo Blue Option

Citroën India has silently introduced a new colour option for the C3 and ëC3 hatchbacks and discontinued an existing colour option as well. The C3 gets the Cosmo Blue paint from its bigger sibling, the C3 Aircross, in both single- and dual-tone options. 

The two C3 models are still available in four single-tone but now get seven dual-tone colour options. Single-tone colour options include Polar White, Platinum Grey, Steel Grey and the new Cosmo Blue. With the Vibe Pack, the first three get Orange accents but the Cosmo Blue gets White accents. Dual-tone colour options include Polar White/Platinum Grey, Steel Grey/ Platinum Grey, Steel Grey/Polar White, Steel Grey/Cosmo Blue, Platinum Grey/Polar White, Cosmo Blue/Polar White and Polar White/Cosmo Blue.

Citroën India has discontinued the Zesty Orange for the C3 and ëC3 hatchbacks. It seems a bit surprising as the Zesty Orange was one of the signature colours for Citroën’s smallest models in India. Acko Drive has reached out to Citroën India regarding the reason for the addition and discontinuation of colour options for the C3 and ëC3 and we are awaiting a confirmation on the same.  

The C3 gets two engine options – an 80 bhp, 115 Nm, 1.2-litre petrol engine and a 108 bhp, 190 Nm, 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine. The petrol engine comes mated to a 5-speed manual gearbox, while the turbo-petrol engine comes paired to a 6-speed manual gearbox. The ëC3 packs a 29.2 kWh battery with a claimed range of 320 km on a single charge. Its single electric motor develops 56 bhp and 143 Nm.
