Exterior Design Of The C3X

While it still looks the same as the regular C3 hatchback, the C3X sets itself apart with LED projector fog lights at the front. The split LED DRLs remain unchanged, and the chunky bumper continues to feature a silver finish around the air dam. The LED projector headlights have been retained as well. 

In profile, there are no noticeable changes, although the turn indicators mounted on the ORVMs (outside rear-view mirrors). A thick body cladding runs along the length of the car, adding to its rugged appeal, and it also features roof rails. The C3X continues to ride on the same 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels as before. At the rear, the only clue that it’s a new variant is the ‘C3X’ insignia, while the rest of the details remain unchanged.

The C3 comes in 5 monotone colour options: Polar White, Steel Grey, Cosmo Blue, Perla Nera Black, and Garnet Red. There are two dual tone colours available as well – Cosmo Blue with Polar White roof, and Garnet Red with Perla Nera Black roof.
