Citroen C3 X

Citroen looks to have opted for a sportback-like design for its latest model with the dropping roofline of the test mule hidden by some clever camouflaging. The heavily disguised test mule does reveal some styling elements such as the lift-style door handles – a C3 staple – as well as a heavily raked C-pillar. While the front is not visible in the latest images, previous pictures have revealed a design that will be in line with the rest of the C3 range with a split headlamp design.

Images of the test mule’s interiors have also revealed a cabin design that changes little from its C3 siblings. The top model is set to feature a large central touchscreen while the sedan could also borrow the digital instrument cluster from the C3 Aircross. The cube-like design elements in places such as the air-con vents are also carried over from the rest of the C3 range.

Moving to the powertrain, the C3X is likely to come with the same PureTech 1.2-litre turbo-petrol engine as the C3 hatchback and the C3 Aircross. The unit is expected to develop a similar 108 bhp and 190 Nm of peak torque and will be paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard. The company could also offer the sedan with the option of an automatic gearbox following its introduction in the C3 Aircross in the coming weeks.

The C3X will go up against some compact sedans such as the Hyundai Verna, Honda City, VW Virtus, Skoda Slavia and Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, as well as some subcompact SUVs. The C3X however could undercut its rivals on pricing in a bid to attract buyers.
