Notably, the Feel (O) is the most recent trim to be introduced in the C3’s lineup, and prices of its manual variant are unchanged. The C3 gets the same engine options as the Basalt and Aircross.

The Citroen Basalt rivals the Tata Curvv SUV-coupe and is an alternative to mid-size SUVs like the Citroen Aircross, Hyundai Creta, Tata Sierra, Kia Seltos, Maruti Suzuki Victoris, Toyota Hyryder, Honda Elevate and the upcoming Renault Duster. The Citroen C3 locks horns with the Hyundai Exter, Maruti Suzuki Ignis, Renault Kwid, and Tata Punch.

All prices are ex-showroom, India.
