Citroën India has officially expanded its lineup with the launch of two strategic variants: the C3 Live (O) and the Aircross X Max 5-seater. Aimed at budget-conscious buyers and luxury-seekers alike, these variants are part of the brand’s “Citroën 2.0” strategy. Notably, New variants will not be readily available with Citroen saying that units will only be produced against confirmed bookings.

Bookings-led production model

These models are produced strictly on a “Made-to-Order” basis, meaning production only begins once a customer booking is confirmed.

Customer-centric approach

Citroën is responding directly to buyer feedback, offering trims that balance affordability (C3 Live O) and practicality (Aircross X Max 5-seater).

Citroën Aircross X Max Turbo 5-Seater MT: Focus on Rear Comfort

The new Aircross X Max 5-seater is designed specifically for buyers who prefer cabin space and luxury over a third row. By removing the rear-most seats, Citroën has transformed the interior into a comfort-first cabin.

• Enhanced Legroom: Passengers now enjoy an additional 60 mm of second-row knee room, making it one of the most spacious in its class.
• Premium Rear Seating: Includes a new 3-step reclining function for the rear seats, allowing for a more relaxed posture on long journeys.
• Added Convenience: A dedicated rear center armrest with integrated cupholders has been added for a true “lounge” experience.

Citroën C3 Live (O): Premium Features for the Base Variant

The Citroën C3 lineup sees the addition of the Live (O) trim. This new mid-level variant bridges the gap between the base and top models, bringing high-end luxury features to a more accessible price point.

• Upgraded Interiors: In a first for this trim level, the Live (O) features premium leatherette seat upholstery.
• Smart Connectivity: It comes equipped with a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
• Audio & Visibility: Features a 4-speaker sound system and a rearview camera for effortless parking.

Engine Options

The Citroen C3 and Aircross both have the same engine options.
