French automaker Citroen recently announced that it has increased the price up to ₹20,000 for a few products in its portfolio, namely the C3, Basalt and Aircross. The updated prices are effective immediately, while no design or mechanical changes have been made to the vehicles, making it a purely financial update.
Citroen C3
The hatchback from the French automaker, the C3, has received a price hike of ₹15,000. While the Live (O) variant remains unchanged, the price of the hatchback now ranges from from ₹4.95 lakh (ex-showroom) to ₹9.45 lakh (ex-showroom). The top variants, Shine, are now equipped with a 360-degree camera, which is an optional accessory installed at the dealerships. The Citroen C3 is powered by a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine and a 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine.
Citroen Basalt
The SUV coupe from the French automaker, the Basalt, has received a price hike of ₹20,000 across all variants. The price range post-revision starts at ₹8.15 lakh (ex-showroom) to ₹13.35 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Citroen Basalt is powered by the same two engine options as the C3: a 1.2L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 80.86 bhp and 115 Nm of torque, and a 1.2L turbocharged petrol engine producing 118.49 bhp and up to 205 Nm. The former is paired with a five-speed manual transmission, while the turbocharged petrol unit is paired with a six-speed manual or a six-speed torque converter automatic transmission.
The Citroen Basalt will continue to be offered across three variants, namely You, Plus and Max. The top-end Max variant lists a 360-degree as an optional accessory, to be installed at the dealership at an additional cost.

Citroen Aircross
The Citroen Aircross has also received a price hike of ₹20,000 across most variants, with the price range of the SUV ranging between ₹8.49 lakh (ex-showroom) and ₹13.94 lakh (ex-showroom).
The five-seat Max Turbo variant remains unaffected by the revision, while the seven-seat Max Turbo variant gets an even higher price, owing to the addition of a 360-degree camera accessory, to be fitted at the dealership level.
