Premium and sporty feel in the interior
This car looks equally powerful from the inside as well. Its interior looks both premium and sporty. It has black and red coloured leatherette seats on which SPORT is written. Along with this, sporty pedals with a metal finish, a seat belt cushion, and special carpet mats have also been provided, which make its interior look more special.
Ambient lighting has also been provided in it, which creates a great atmosphere, especially during night travel. We saw its interior ourselves and it gives a premium feel.
Tech Kit
An optional tech kit is also available in this sports edition, which costs Rs 15,000. In this tech kit, you get smart features like a wireless charger and a dashcam. In today’s time, having a dashcam has become very important because it gives extra safety during driving.
Apart from this, it already has advanced features like a large 10.25-inch touchscreen, automatic climate control and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, which keep it far ahead in terms of technology. This kit is for those who want to make their car even smarter.
Performance and Engine Options
Two engine options are given in this car. One is a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated petrol engine, which gives 82 horsepower and 115 Nm torque and comes with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The second is a 1.2-liter turbo-petrol engine, which gives 110 horsepower and 205 Nm torque and has both 6-speed manual and 6-speed automatic options.
The company says that the turbo version reaches the speed of 0 to 100 km/h in just 10 seconds, which is considered quite good performance in this segment. According to our research, the turbo version gives the best driving experience both in the city and on the highway.
Price and Variants
The sport edition of Citroen C3 is available at a starting price of Rs 6.44 lakh. If you talk about its top model, its price reaches up to Rs 10.21 lakh. This price is about Rs 21,000 more than the standard C3 version, which seems right considering its sporty look and extra features.
This car comes in three variants. If you buy its top model, you get both an automatic gearbox and a turbo engine. In this price range, this car competes with cars like Maruti Wagon R, Tata Altroz and Maruti Celerio. According to us, with so many features, this car is absolutely value for money.
What are the drawbacks?
Every car has its drawbacks and the Citroen C3 Sport Edition also has some minor issues that are worth paying attention to. Some people have complained of vibrations and noise in the cabin while driving, especially when driving on long routes. Also, its 30-litre fuel tank may seem a bit small to some, especially if you like to go on long trips.
But Citroen has made its suspension and ride quality so good that these minor issues do not cause much of a problem. If you can ignore these things, then this can be a great deal.
In terms of safety, it has basic safety features like dual airbags, ABS, reverse parking sensor and seat belt reminder. However, its performance in the Global NCAP crash test was not very good, which some people may consider a negative point. But its high ground clearance and solid suspension make it perfect for Indian roads. We also liked its build quality, which can last for a long time.
The Citroen C3 Sport Edition is a car that offers a good balance of style, performance, and price. Its garnet red colour, sporty look and modern features make it a great option, especially for young drivers. It gives tough competition to brands like Maruti and Tata and if you want a hatchback that gives a little SUV feel and fits in the budget, then this car can be perfect for you.
So what do you think? Tell us which feature of the Citroen C3 Sport Edition you liked the most. And if you want to see it yourself, then definitely book a test drive by visiting the nearest Citroen showroom.
