Citroen Expands Aircross, Basalt And eC3 X Lineups
Citroen has added more versions of three cars in India.
The Aircross X and Basalt X can now be bought with a turbo-petrol engine on more affordable trims.
They can also get a naturally aspirated petrol engine with the highest Max equipment level.
This gives buyers more choices between power, features, and price.
Citroen says the naturally aspirated versions will also be available with CNG, but it has not announced those prices.
The electric eC3 X now has an Extended version.
Its official driving range is 330 kilometres, which is 5 kilometres more than before.
The improvement comes from efficiency changes, not a bigger battery.
Buyers can use a battery-rental plan, which lowers the car's starting price but adds a charge for every kilometre driven.
Citroen introduced the Aircross X YOU Turbo Comfort Edition at Rs 10.69 lakh ex-showroom, making its turbo-petrol engine more accessible.
The Aircross X MAX NA costs Rs 11.62 lakh and combines the Max trim with a naturally aspirated petrol engine.
The Basalt X YOU Turbo is priced at Rs 9.99 lakh, while the Basalt X MAX NA costs Rs 11.34 lakh.
Citroen said naturally aspirated Aircross X and Basalt X variants will also be offered with CNG, but CNG prices were not announced.
The eC3 X Extended has a certified 330 km range, a 29.2 kWh battery, and a Battery-as-a-Service price starting at Rs 6.99 lakh plus Rs 2.26 per kilometre.
