Our dealer sources have confirmed that the Citroen C3 will soon get a new top-end “Shine” variant. The hatchback is currently offered in “Live” and “Feel” variants and the additional variant will definitely get several feature upgrades.

The C3 received flak for being under-equipped in comparison to its similarly priced rivals. The new Shine variant will counter that as it will get features like a rear wiper and washer, defogger, electrically adjustable ORVMs, button start/stop and a rear parking camera. It could also get three-point seatbelts for all five passengers, alloy wheels and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.
