French carmaker Citroen is set to debut in the Indian market with its electric car Citroen C3 this week. The company has confirmed that Citroen C3 will be launched in India on September 29. The electric car from the French automobile major will be the latest entrant in the hatchback segment competing with the likes of Tata Tiago, Tata Nexon EV and the newly launched Mahindra XUV400.
The all-electric version of the Citroen C3 is expected to be priced between Rs 10 lakh to Rs 15 lakh.
A short video was shared by the company on Twitter confirming the launch of the Citroen C3 in India. “An electric, that’s good. But for us, it’s far from being #enough. See you on September 29th,” read the tweet.
