SMALL CAR RENAISSANCE

THE CITROEN C3 WITH ITS CROSS-HATCH SHAPE COULD SHAPE UP THE SMALL CAR SEGMENT IN INDIA NEXT YEAR

- 

Citroen has revealed its next offering for the Indian market, the C3 cross-hatch. The C3 is to be made in India and is the first model to be based on Citroen’s C-Cubed architecture. This architecture is heavily localised and will be the base for a range of models for India and other developing markets.

The geometric styling seems to have been heavily influenced by that of the C5 Aircross. So there is a similar split headlamp setup with the integrated chevrons but with the new ‘X’ LED lighting motifs seen on cars like the C4. The Citroen C3 features a large rectangular grille and an intricate stylised air dam below it with silver and contrasting colour highlights.
