Pricing and Variants
The Citroen C3 Sport Edition is available in two versions:
| Variant Type | Additional Cost (Over Standard C3) |
|---|---|
| Sport Edition Kit | Rs. 21,000 |
| Tech Kit (Optional) | Rs. 15,000 |
Customers can opt for either the standard Sport Edition kit or enhance their vehicle further by adding the optional tech kit. This makes the Sport Edition flexible for buyers who want a bit more style or utility from their C3 without a complete overhaul in price.
Cosmetic Enhancements
The Sport Edition lives up to its name with several sport-themed design touches both inside and out:
- Sport-themed decals on the exterior
- Sport-branded seat covers, carpet mats, and seatbelt cushions
- Ambient lighting inside the cabin
- Aluminium pedals for a racier feel
These additions give the C3 a more energetic and visually appealing look, aimed at younger buyers or anyone wanting to stand out in city traffic.
Tech Kit Features
For an additional Rs. 15,000, customers can opt for the tech kit that adds:
- Dashcam for recording your drives or incidents
- Wireless mobile charger, a handy addition for modern smartphone users
These features aren’t available on the standard C3, making the tech kit a worthwhile upgrade for tech-savvy buyers.
New Colour Option
To mark the launch of this edition, Citroen has also introduced a new exterior paint shade called Garnet Red, further enhancing the visual appeal of the Sport Edition.
Engine and Gearbox Options
There are no changes to the mechanical package, but that’s not a downside. The C3 Sport Edition continues to offer the same petrol engine choices:
- 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (NA) petrol
- 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol
Both engines are known for their peppy performance and decent efficiency. Buyers can choose from the following gearbox options:
| Engine Type | Transmission Options |
|---|---|
| 1.2 NA Petrol | 5-speed manual |
| 1.2 Turbo Petrol | 6-speed manual, 6-speed torque converter automatic |
This setup ensures that the C3 continues to cater to a wide audience, from budget-conscious city drivers to those wanting more spirited performance.
If you’re a fan of the Citroen C3 but felt it needed a sportier and more modern edge, the Sport Edition bridges that gap nicely. With exclusive styling cues and practical tech upgrades at a reasonable price bump, it adds value without compromising on the core experience of the C3.
