A New Hatchback In The Town: Citroen C3

THE FRENCH CARMAKER, Citroen entered the Indian market in 2019, last year the company launched the C5 Aircross SUV in India, which isn’t performing well in the country in terms of sales, though the car has a lot of potentials. The company is trying hard to make a space for themselves in the Indian market and now they are introducing the new C3 hatchback in India. Yes, a HATCHBACK! We got the opportunity to test drive the car in Goa before the official launch to give you the first drive review and here is what we think about it.

Now, this is the fourth-generation C3 that is first being unveiled in India, considering the company’s expansion plans here in the country. Globally, C3 is among the company’s bestsellers B-Hatch with around 5 million vehicles on road.
