2022 Citroen C3 review - Tata Punch rival? | First Drive | Autocar India

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Citroën are all set to launch the C3. Made in India for India this is their big shot at the Indian market. Set to rival the likes of Tata Punch, Nissan Magnite, Renault Kiger and Maruti Ignis, styled with French flair Citroën are calling the C3 a hatch with a twist. Is it a hatch or an Suv? What are the features? What engine options does it have? Is it comfortable? How does it drive? Renuka Kirpalani brings you the Citroën C3 full review.

    A bit of disappointing trend in India these day. This is even seen with educated folks. They want all the gimmicks like sunroof, wireless charger, huge touch screens etc in a entry level car and they don't give a shit about the basics like good engine, mechanicals, safety. I genuinely think Citroen C3 has realised the gap and played smartly. If you are someone who wants a CAR and not a smartphone, chances are your shopping stops with C3. I want cars like these succeed. In reality though, mechanically compromised, feature rich cars like MG, Kia, and Hyundai have succeeded.

    It's biggest strength is also what the Tata Punch boasts about - Great ride quality. So which one will be better, I wonder. Hope the C3's prices are competitive given the number of features it comes without.

    A car with bare minimum features and options to curate the car with accessories as per one's preference is much better than getting ready made packages with an expensive accessories list. Pricing of the car and accessories list will be key for citroen. Getting a shell car and personalising it within budget will be a remarkable experience.

    Citroen has missed out on many features that come standard on cars in this segment. Sales will be impacted because of this, potential customers will walk away when they have to shell out extra cash for accessories that come as standard in other models.

    Other sub 4 meter cars all have very basic suspension, they are noisy. I think the c3 is giving very good air conditioning and suspension setup. It’s just the Choise what’s more important for the buyer. I would personally take the better AC and suspension instead of removable headrest

    Don't understand the obsession with touchscreens these days, Instead they should provide basic features like electrically adjustable orvm, central locking, power window controls on the door. Also why there is no automatic? People in cities(which is where it's going to sell) these days prefer automatics

    Hi Team Can you do a detailed video on the set of accessories available for this car please? I have been really interested a lot with the c3 car, but i'm not able to figure out the right online resource to look about all the available accessories for this c3 car. If you can help us with that info it will be more helpful. I'm especially looking about the option of getting a rear parking camera attached to a feel variant, from Citreon itself. And also will like to know if there is any option to get a rear wiper a d defogger added to it?

    For me the biggest miss has to be the rear wiper. that’s where Hyundai/Kia are very smart to know where to do cost cutting. They could have given a basic speedometer and tachometer instead of that digital. The air con vents is really badly designed. Maybe they can rectify this when they launch the automatic variant. They can give rear wiper , central locking button on door , and electronically adjustable mirrors and different air con vents (that does look highly impossible although at this stage). Btw is there manual or auto dimming middle mirror? #autocarindia.
