Although Citroen has not yet revealed the name and details of the upcoming vehicle, it is believed that it will be the electric version of its premium hatchback C3.

The price of Citroen C3 Electric Car is expected to be in between Rs 10 lakh and Rs 15 lakh, says BGR reports.

Hinting through its yet another teaser on the Twitter handle, the French automaker shared a blurred picture of Citroen C3 and asked the viewers to guess what's behind the blur.

"What’s behind this blur? 1. More blur, 2. The designer of Ami, 3. Our rëvolution of mobility #enough", the tweet said.

"Come back on September 29th for the right answer", it added.

Moreover, Carlos Tavares, CEO of the Stellantis group, on being asked to elaborating on the EV roadmap in India last year, said "We are going to bring not only compact cars, I would say within the Indian market segmentation less than four meters, but we'll also bring EVs with people movers for the next products to be launched. We will bring those EV versions in both the less than four-metre cars and to MPV-SUV oriented products that will come next", as per PTI.

According to PTI, when asked about how much the Stellantis group expects EVs to contribute to its overall sales in India in future, he said, "I think that in the near term (by 2025) it's going to be 5 per cent to 10 per cent in terms of the mix, and by the end of the decade, perhaps 25 per cent to 30 per cent".
