The model comes with various features like a 26 cm infotainment touchscreen and 56 customisation options.

The SUV-inspired hatchback, C3 is the first model in a family of three vehicles aimed at the international markets, developed and produced in India and South America.

"With this launch, Citroen enters the mainstream B-hatch segment in India and we are confident the new C3's customised comfort USP will make it attractive and unique for consumers," Stellantis India CEO & Managing Director Roland Bouchara said in a statement.

This is the first model from the company's C-Cubed family of vehicles that are designed and engineered in India, for Indians, he added.

"With over 90 percent localised parts in the C3, we are leveraging our strong supplier base, our R&D Center in Chennai, the vehicle assembly plant at Thiruvallur and the powertrain plant at Hosur," Bouchara stated.

The C3 deliveries to customers will start from Wednesday at 20 La Maison Citroen phygital showrooms across 19 cities in the country, the automaker said.

Citroen will also extend its 100 percent direct online buying initiative for the C3, it added.
