The Citroen C3 hatchback was updated recently and it gets a new tops-spec X Shine variant. It is now available in four broad trims: Live, Feel, Feel (O), and X Shine (also referred to as C3X). The carmaker is taking bookings for this update and you can bring it home in the first week of September. Let’s now check out the updated variant-wise features set of the French hatchback:

Citroen C3 Live

Variant	Old Price	New Price	Difference
Live MT	Rs 6.23 lakh	Rs 5.25 lakh	(- Rs 98,000)

Engine and gearbox options: 1.2-litre naturally aspirated (N/A) petrol with 5-speed MT

Citroen C3

The Live is the entry-level variant of the C3. As you can see in the above table, it has now become more affordable by Rs 98,000 and it gets the following key features:

Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Body coloured front and rear bumpers Halogen headlights Black ORVMs 15-inch steel wheels Black door handles	Fabric seat upholstery Integrated front headrests Chrome accents on the AC knobs Foldable grab handles (front passenger and rear) Front cabin lamp	Manual AC with heater Manually adjustable ORVMs Front power windows 12V charging socket (front) Flat-folding rear seats 1-touch auto-down (front windows only) Semi-digital instrument cluster	N.A.	Dual front airbags ABS with EBD Reverse parking sensors High speed alert

Given that the Live is the C3’s base-spec trim, it gets black ORVMs, 15-inch steel wheels, and black door handles. In terms of features, it packs front power windows, a manual AC, and semi-digital instrument cluster, but lacks a touchscreen or basic music system altogether. Its safety kit covers just the basics, including dual front airbags and rear parking sensors.

Citroen C3 Feel

Variant	Old Price	New Price	Difference
Feel MT	Rs 6.48 lakh	Rs 6.23 lakh	(- Rs 25,000)

Engine and gearbox options: 1.2-litre N/A petrol engine with 5-speed MT

The one-above base Feel trim gets the following features over the base-spec Live:

Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Gloss-black finish for ORVMs LED DRLs Gloss-black roof rails Roof antenna	N.A.	Electrically adjustable ORVMs All four power windows Foldable key fob	N.A.	N.A.

Citroen is offering the C3’s Feel variant with some styling and a couple of feature upgrades over the Live trim. These come in the form of LED DRLs, roof rails (with gloss-black finish), electrically adjustable ORVMs, and all four power windows. We would advise you to move on to the next variant if you want your C3 with some added niceties.

Citroen C3 Feel (O)

Feel (O)	Rs 7.52 lakh	Rs 7.27 lakh	(- Rs 25,000)

Engine and gearbox options: 1.2-litre N/A petrol engine with 5-speed MT

The Feel (O) is the mid-spec trim of the Citroen hatchback. Here’s what it gets over the second-from-base Feel variant:

Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
Body coloured outside door handles Wheel arch cladding Full wheel covers	Adjustable front headrests Brushed silver finish for the inside door handles Grey highlights on the dashboard Brushed silver inserts for the AC vents, gear lever surround, and in the steering wheel Parcel tray Day/night inside rearview mirror (IRVM)	Keyless entry 1-touch auto down for all four power windows Height-adjustable driver seat Tilt-adjustable steering wheel Steering-mounted audio and calling controls USB charger (front 1 and rear 2 fast units)	10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system Bluetooth connectivity Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto 4-speaker audio system	Side and curtain airbags ISOFIX child seat anchorages 3-point seatbelts for all seats with reminder Speed-sensing auto-door lock

The Feel (O) adds a lot of comfort, convenience, and safety features to the C3 hatchback, while also making it look and feel more premium inside and out. Notable features include a height-adjustable driver seat, a 10.2-inch touchscreen infotainment unit, side and curtain airbags, as well as ISOFIX child seat mounts.

Citroen C3 X Shine

Variant	Old Price	New Price	Difference

Exterior	Interior	Comfort and Convenience	Infotainment	Safety
