Citroen C3 Overview

Exterior

The Citroen C3 stands out with a unique design that cleverly blends the practicality of a supermini with the rugged appeal of a crossover.

Up front, Citroen integrates its signature Dual Chevrons into a chrome-finished dual-slat grille that stretches across the fascia. This connects with the sleek LED DRLs, creating a wide and striking visual presence, which is a design cue seen across many Citroen models.

Citroen C3 Front Styling

Although the split headlamp setup enhances the front’s appeal, Citroen has opted for Halogen Bulbs here, likely as a cost-saving measure. Lower down, the bumper features thick plastic cladding and an X-shaped skid plate flanked by fog lamps. While the design may look a bit busy, it aligns with the brand’s distinct crossover styling.

The crossover-inspired aesthetic continues along the side profile. Despite its compact footprint, the C3 adopts dual-tone styling with a contrasting roof. However, Citroen’s color combinations for the roof can come off as quirky and may not appeal to everyone. The C3 rolls on 15-inch Steel Wheels, though alloy wheels would have added a more premium touch.

Citroen C3 Rear Styling

At the rear, the design tries to mirror the front to maintain a sense of visual continuity, though it doesn’t feel quite as bold. The iconic dual V-shaped Citroen chevrons sit prominently at the center, flanked by squared-off LED tail lamps. Lower down, black cladding and a rear skid plate round off the crossover design elements.

Additionally, the C3 comes in four color options: Zesty Orange, Polar White, Platinum Grey, and Steel Grey.

Interior

Inside, the C3 features what Citroen calls a “C-Zen Lounge Design.” This interior layout introduces a clean upper dashboard section that houses a 10.25-inch Touchscreen Infotainment System, subtly angled towards the driver for easier access. It supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

The dashboard gets a youthful and textured treatment, with dimpled surfaces and boxy AC vents that give it a funky, playful vibe.

The Fabric-Upholstered seats offer an armchair-like feel and come in a dual-tone theme named “Rubic / Hexalight.” Thanks to its tall roofline, the C3 offers generous headroom and decent knee room, especially for rear passengers.

Moreover, the rear seats can also be folded flat but as a part of the cost-cutting, the front seats have to be adjusted manually as their is no support for any kind of electric adjustment. Yet again, a cost-cutting measure.

Performance

Citroen C3 is powered by a 1.2-Liter, 3-cylinder, Naturally Aspirated Petrol engine. It generates a max power of 82 PS at 5750 rpm and a max torque of 115 Nm at 3750 rpm.

Moreover, it is mated to a 5-speed MT transmission with a 30-liter fuel tank capacity. It boasts mileage figures of 19 kmpl.

The Citroen C3 also comes with a Turbocharged engine option, which offers a noticeably more engaging and fun-to-drive experience compared to the naturally aspirated variant. Unfortunately, this turbocharged version is not available in the Nepali market.

That said, the naturally aspirated C3 still holds its ground well, especially when compared to other 3-cylinder cars in its segment. Thanks to its lighter body and responsive handling, the C3 delivers a surprisingly nimble and confident driving experience.

Citroen C3 Price in Nepal and Availability

Talking about the price, the Citroen C3 price in Nepal is now available at Rs. 29,99,000 for the sole available variant, i.e., the “Feel Vibe Pack”.

This price cut comes as part of the company’s effort to clear out the remaining stock of the current C3. According to officials, Citroen will consider importing the latest model of the C3 if there is strong customer demand once the current units are sold out.

However, in a market rapidly shifting towards electric vehicles, it will be challenging for a sub-compact petrol SUV like the C3 to stay relevant.

Nonetheless, interested individuals can reach out to the nearest Citroen showroom for test rides and retail.

The following table is a detailed list of Citroen C3 price in Nepal for July 2025.

Rivals

When discussing any car, brand value inevitably enters the conversation. Citroën, a subsidiary of the global auto giant Stellantis, carries a legacy that’s respected and celebrated worldwide. However, with the C3, the brand seems to have fallen short. Despite having the potential to be a strong contender in the petrol sub-compact SUV segment, the C3 suffers from evident cost-cutting at nearly every level.

This was part of Citroen’s strategy when it began local production in India, i.e., reducing costs to offer a more affordable alternative to segment leaders like the Tata Punch and Hyundai Exter.

But in Nepal, the competitive landscape shifted drastically with the arrival of electric vehicles. EVs like the Dongfeng Nammi 01, Leapmotor T03, Tata Punch EV, Tata Tiago EV, and even its electric sibling the Citroen eC3 entered the market with aggressive pricing, feature-rich offerings, and strong brand confidence in the electric future, which changing the game entirely.

While Citroën has recently slashed prices on the C3 to boost interest, these cuts appear to be more about clearing out existing inventory than building long-term competitiveness. Once the current stock is sold, and if new units arrive at all, it’s unlikely the pricing will remain this aggressive.

And, without an attractive price, it is unlikely that much interest will be directed toward the C3 when there are better and more value-for-money options to choose from. This would be quite unfortunate, considering the C3 delivers exactly what it was designed for, i.e., a comfortable, easy-to-drive, and fuel-efficient car tailored for urban use.
