Citroën C3X
The upgrade our valuation covers best is Feel → Shine on the 1.2 Turbo petrol manual: ₹1,39,100 buys ₹1,47,050 of equipment — 105% of the price rise, so the kit alone covers what it costs.
Citroën's B-segment hatchback with SUV styling, built in Tamil Nadu. Launched in India in July 2022 as the C3 and sold as the C3X since its August 2025 update. A 1.2-litre petrol (PureTech 82, manual) and a 1.2-litre turbo petrol (PureTech 110, manual or six-speed automatic), across Live, Live(O), Feel, Feel(O) and Shine.
*Ex-showroom, Delhi · Prices checked Oct 2026
All 8 variants across 3 powertrains, priced from 1.2 · petrol manual upwards. Every trim and engine Citroën prices, in plain paint. Left out: the Shine dual-tone paint and the dealer-fitted CNG kit.

Where the money buys the most equipment, and where it buys the least
One variant on the Citroën C3X is covered outright by the kit it adds. Another is mostly paying for something else. Both are computed from the same feature valuations, not chosen by hand.

Citroën C3X: questions buyers ask
Which Citroën C3X variant is the best value?
Feel 1.2 Turbo Petrol MT to Shine 1.2 Turbo Petrol MT costs ₹1,39,100, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹1,47,050 — 105% of the price rise. That is the variant upgrade where equipment explains the most of what you pay. The kit alone covers what the variant costs extra. The figure is computed from the feature difference, not chosen.
Which Citroën C3X variant gives back the least?
Live 1.2 Petrol MT to Feel 1.2 Petrol MT costs ₹1,00,900, and the equipment it adds is worth ₹11,900 — 11% of the price rise. The rest of that money goes on things we do not itemise — materials, fit and finish, and the manufacturer's own margin.
How many variants does the Citroën C3X have?
8, across 3 powertrains, from ₹4,99,000 to ₹9,68,000 ex-showroom. Every trim and engine Citroën prices, in plain paint. Left out: the Shine dual-tone paint and the dealer-fitted CNG kit.
What is the EMI on the Citroën C3X?

The cheapest variant, Live 1.2 Petrol MT, comes to about ₹5,49,908 on road in Delhi — ₹4,99,000 ex-showroom plus road tax, insurance, registration and TCS where it applies. Road tax is set by the state, so the total moves by a lakh or more between them.
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. The Shine in dual-tone paint (₹15,000 more) is not modelled. The CNG versions are a dealer-fitted retrofit kit, not a factory version, and are not modelled. Equipment from the maker's brochure dated 26 Oct 2026, which has a column each for Live, Live(O), Feel, Feel(O) and Shine, checked against the variant lists on the maker's model page. Only the Feel(O) and the Shine have six airbags; the Live, Live(O) and Feel have two. ESC with hill hold is on the turbo petrol only (Feel and Shine). The brochure marks several Live(O) items, and the power windows of the Live and Live(O), with an asterisk it does not explain. The Live(O) is a separately priced version, so its 25 cm (10.1-inch) Android touchscreen, fog lamps and wheel covers are credited; its touchscreen is not described as wireless, so wireless Android Auto is not credited, and its rear camera is not credited because no guidelines are stated. Rear power windows: the brochure ticks them on the Live, but the model page lists front power windows only, so the Live is not credited. The Feel's wheel covers appear on the model page but are marked absent in the brochure, so they are not credited; the Feel(O)'s leather steering wheel cell is blank and is not credited. The Shine's 360-degree camera is a mandatory dealer accessory at extra cost, not part of the ex-showroom price, so it is not credited; nor is the optional Vibe Pack wireless charger. Not credited because the maker says less than our entry needs: the TPMS (type not stated) and tilt-only steering. Alloy wheels are on the Shine turbo only; the Shine 1.2 has wheel covers. The Shine has auto-folding mirrors. 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: 19.3 kmpl (1.2 manual), 19.3 kmpl (turbo manual) and 18.3 kmpl (turbo automatic). Cruise control is marked 'Puretech 110 AT' in the brochure, so only the turbo automatics are credited it. ROOF RAILS (29 Oct 2026): the maker lists roof rails and does not describe them as a garnish or styling element, so they are credited under the same rule as every other car; no load rating is published.
