Citroen C3 Turbo To Get More Convenience and Safety Features

Planning to buy the Citroen C3 turbo? Well, hold your decision for a few days as the carmaker is about to enrich the model with a host of new convenience and safety features. The brand has recently done the same with its naturally aspirated counterpart.

Here are the details: –

• Similar to the Citroen C3 1.2-litre naturally aspirated model, the C3 turbo will also receive a new top-of-the-line Shine variant that will incorporate all the features missing from the current model, including alloy wheels, day/night inside rearview mirror, front fog lamps, rear defogger, rear wiper and washer, power-adjustable outside rearview mirrors, and a reverse parking camera.

• The C3 Turbo Shine variant is also expected to come with some extra safety features in addition to those available on the NA version. These will encompass electronic stability control, hill hold assist, and a tyre pressure monitoring system.
• Expect the new Shine variant to command a premium of over Rs 60,000 over the Feel Turbo trim, which currently retails from Rs 8.43 lakh (ex-showroom). 
• With these updated features, the hatch will be better equipped to take on its rivals, such as the Tata Punch, Maruti Suzuki Swift, and Hyundai Grand i10 Nios.

Aside from the feature rejig, the cross-hatch is expected to remain unchanged. The C3 Turbo will continue to be powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol unit that makes 110PS and 190Nm. It comes mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox and claims a fuel efficiency of 19.4kmpl.
