How we checked these figures
Data notes — where these figures come from
Prices from Citroën's own price list (the price tool on its website and the price service behind it, read 29 Oct 2026), ex-showroom. Citroën names no city on either. Left out: the Max in dual-tone paint (₹21,000 more), and the four Comfort Edition versions (You 1.2, Plus 1.2, Plus turbo manual and Plus turbo automatic), an anniversary edition launched in July 2026 that adds leatherette upholstery and interior trim at or near the price of the version it is based on. Equipment from the maker's brochure dated 2 Sep 2026, which has one column each for You, Plus and Max and marks items that depend on the engine; the Max 1.2 was added on 7 Sep 2026 and is read from the Max column. Every version has six airbags, ESC with hill hold and a 7-inch digital cluster. The You has no touchscreen or speakers. The Max's rear camera is not credited because no guidelines are stated, and its 360-degree camera is a mandatory dealer accessory at extra cost, not part of the ex-showroom price. The Max's diffused ambient light is not credited because the maker does not say it runs across the doors (on the Plus it is in the dashboard only). The Plus and Max mirrors fold electrically, which is not auto-folding. Not credited because the maker says less than our entry needs: the TPMS (type not stated) and tilt-only steering. The Max automatic's connected-car service (MyCitroën Connect with the CARA assistant, free for one year) is credited: the maker says it offers remote AC pre-conditioning and door locking. LED fog lamps on the Plus come with the turbo only. Citroën prints the engines in PS: 82 PS and 115 Nm for the PureTech 82, and 110 PS with 190 Nm (manual) or 205 Nm (automatic) for the PureTech 110 turbo. Certified efficiency from the brochure: 18.0 kmpl (1.2 manual), 19.5 kmpl (turbo manual) and 18.7 kmpl (turbo automatic). Cruise control is marked 'Puretech 110 AT' in the brochure, so only the turbo automatics are credited it.
