Citroen Flags Off Exports Of Made-In-India C3 To ASEAN & Africa

The French carmaker has already signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kamarajar Port Ltd (KPL) for the export program in February 2023

Citroen released the C3 hatchback in India in July 2022, and now, the French automaker is exporting the made-in-India C3 hatchback to ASEAN and African countries from the Kamarajar Port, in Chennai, Tamil Nadu.

In February 2023, Citroen signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Kamarajar Port Ltd (KPL) to begin its export program. When it comes to the Kamarajar Port, Maruti has begun exporting its Grand Vitara compact SUVs from the same location.

Talking about the C3, it comes with two engine options, a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine (82PS and 115Nm) and a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine (110PS and 190Nm), mated to five-speed and six-speed manual transmissions, respectively. The hatchback’s feature list is highlighted by a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digitised instrument cluster and a height-adjustable driver seat.
