• Could borrow its feature list from the C3 and C3 Aircross.

Citroen is bringing an all-new sedan to India, likely to be based on the C3 Aircross. Unlike most sedans, the French offering will sport a crossover design and it is expected to make a debut sometime in 2024.

The upcoming C3 Aircross SUV measures 4.3-metre in length and the sedan is expected to have similar dimensions. Globally, the French carmaker has the eC4X sedan-crossover which is sold in Europe. We're expecting the upcoming sedan to take some styling cues from this cross sedan, including a fastback styling but with some SUV traits like body cladding, slightly flared wheel arches, and a higher than average ground clearance (for a sedan).

As we saw the C3 Aircross’ interior bearing resemblance to the C3, we can expect something similar with the C3-based sedan. In terms of features as well, the sedan is likely to take inspiration from its siblings. So, we can expect a 10-inch touchscreen system, digital instrument cluster, automatic AC, cruise control, up to six airbags, and a rear camera.

Powering this sedan could be the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine that will power the C3 Aircross, likely in a different state of tune than the one offered with the C3 hatchback. Manual and automatic transmissions can be expected onboard. Given that its core underpinnings are capable of supporting electric powertrains, the  crossover-sedan could also get an electric derivative in the future.
