Citroën India has launched the updated ë-C3X, introducing a battery-as-a-service option that separates the battery cost from the vehicle price, allowing customers to enter the electric vehicle ecosystem with a lower upfront investment. The move is aimed at making electric vehicles more accessible and flexible for a wider Indian customer base.
Mr. Kumar Priyesh, Brand Director, Automotive, Stellantis India, said, “With the all-new ë-C3X, we have taken a decisive step in India’s electric mobility journey. This is not just a product launch, but a meaningful initiative to make electric vehicle ownership more convenient and flexible through our BaaS offering. Combining Citroën’s signature comfort, bold design and practical technology, ë-C3X offers a comprehensive and compelling electric mobility experience tailor-made for Indian customers.”
At the heart of the new ownership proposition is the BaaS option, offered by leading banks through dual loan financial products, which reduces upfront battery costs, enabling lower entry prices, predictable ownership costs and added peace of mind for buyers.
Built on Citroën’s India-focused smart car platform, the ë-C3X features an SUV-style silhouette with LED headlights, split LED DRLs and an assertive front grille. It rides on 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels with a ground clearance of 170 mm and a turning radius of 4.98 metres, supported by skid plates and protective cladding, for a strong road presence. The interior is spacious with a wheelbase of 2,450 mm, shoulder room of 1,375 mm and luggage capacity of 315 liters. The car inherits Citroën’s signature ride comfort through advanced comfort seats and segment-best suspension, while the all-electric drivetrain delivers zero noise and zero vibration. Designed specifically for Indian summer, the tropical climate control system can reduce cabin temperatures to below 14 degrees Celsius.
On the technology front, the ë-C3X features a 10.25-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, Electric Blu IP and two-tone leatherette seats, wireless mobile charger and connected car technology with over 40 features including remote access. Optional accessories include a JBL audio system and a front and rear dash cam package. Made with over 60% ultra-high-strength and high-strength steel for safety, the vehicle has a low center of gravity with its floor-mounted battery and features an advanced battery protection system designed to inspire confidence on Indian roads.
