MS Dhoni-inspired Citroen C3 And C3 Aircross Special Editions Coming Soon

These special editions will come with accessories and Dhoni-inspired decals, but feature additions are unlikely

Former captain of the Indian Cricket Team, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has recently become the brand ambassador of Citroen India, and with this partnership, the carmaker will be launching special editions of Citroen C3 and Citroen C3 Aircross with cosmetic changes inspired by the cricketer. Here is what you can expect these special editions to offer.

Cosmetic Changes

As per the carmaker, the special editions of these two models will come with some accessories and M.S. Dhoni inspired decals on the outside. The carmaker has not revealed any details or images of said special editions, but they will likely sport the number “7” as a decal (to represent Dhoni’s jersey number), and might also come with some blue and orange inserts, to support the Indian Cricket Team during the 2024 T20 World Cup.

No Feature Additions

While the carmaker can offer some accessories for the cabins of these models, no new features are expected to be a part of these special editions. The features list of the two models will most likely remain the same.
