Citroen India has signed a deal with Kamarajar Port Pvt. Ltd. in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, for the export of its hatchback, the C3. The deal is also intended to help Citroen export more entry-level models from India in the future. The carmaker will export the C3 as a CBU (completely built-up) unit to countries in the ASEAN and African regions. The hatchback will start getting exported in March 2023 by PAIPL, an Indian affiliate of Citroen.

The Powertrain

C3 comes with two petrol engine options here: a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated unit (82PS/115Nm) paired with a five-speed manual and a 1.2-litre turbocharged engine (110PS/190Nm) paired with a six-speed manual transmission. Currently, the carmaker does not offer a diesel engine or an automatic transmission. However, there is an all electric version of the C3 on offer, called the eC3.
