At the unveiling event of the Basalt, Citroen also revealed the updated C3 and C3 Aircross models for India.
The C3 Aircross was always a little under-equipped SUV in terms of features when compared to the segment that it sits in.
But these new additions, derived from the Basalt, will certainly help in its fight against the mid-spec variants of compact SUVs

CITROEN BASALT PRICE ANNOCUNCCEMENT AUGUST 7TH
C3 Aircross
The new version of the C3 Aircross includes LED projector headlights, automatic climate control, a larger sliding front armrest, a flip-style key, and six airbags.
One peculiar change that the C3 Aircross has made is that they have moved the rear power window switches from between the front seats to the rear doors. This makes it way more convenient for the rear passengers.
Powertrain of the C3 Aircross
The powertrain sees no changes even after the features are updated. It derives its power from a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder turbocharged engine that churns out 109 bhp of power and 205 Nm of torque. This engine is mated with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
Features of the C3
The features added to the C3 include a 7-inch digital instrument cluster, automatic climate control, automatic side rear-view mirrors, and six airbags. These are in addition to the pre-existing features like LED DRLs and a 10-inch infotainment panel with wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, but it still lacks a start-stop button.
Powertrain of C3
The Citroen C3 offers two powertrain options to users. The first is a 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine that produces 81 bhp of power and 115 Nm of torque. This engine is paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. The other option is a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that is capable of producing 108 bhp of power and 190 Nm of torque while being paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
