The Citroen C3 has become the French carmaker’s first car in India to get a CNG option. However, there’s a catch. The CNG kit will not be included from the factory and will be retrofitted at Citroen dealerships. It is priced at Rs 93,000 over the petrol variants price and will be offered with the naturally aspirated variants only. Here are the prices of the hatchback with the CNG kit compared to the regular variants:

Variant	Price without CNG kit	Price increment	Price with CNG kit
Live	Rs 6.23 lakh	Rs 93,000	Rs 7.16 lakh
Feel	Rs 6.48 lakh	Rs 93,000	Rs 7.41 lakh
Feel (O)	Rs 7.52 lakh	Rs 93,000	Rs 8.45 lakh
Shine	Rs 8.16 lakh	Rs 93,000	Rs 9.09 lakh

All prices are ex-showroom, pan-India

Notably, the CNG kit includes a 55-litre tank and comes with a standard warranty of 3 years/1 lakh km (whichever is first). Citroen claims a range of up to 200 km with the CNG option with a claimed fuel efficiency of 28.1 km/kg. To add to the user’s convenience, the CNG filling nozzle will be placed beside the petrol-filling port. Citroen says that the CNG variants will have retuned suspension to counter the added CNG tank weight in the hatchback.

Now, let us take a look at the powertrain options of the Citroen C3.
