Citroen sub-4-metre compact SUV

Release date:

Citroen’s sub-four-metre SUV is likely to debut sometime in 2023.

Engine:

As for the powertrain, the compact SUV will make use of the existing powertrains which include a 1.2-litre petrol engine. It remains to be seen whether the new model will be available with the naturally-aspirated mill or the turbo-petrol motor. The transmission options will most likely include a manual gearbox only.  

Features:

The leaked image is a fully camouflaged test mule that appears to be an elongated version of the C3 hatchback. The prototype on test is most likely a base variant with steel wheels and with a majority of the rear windows and windshield covered under the sheets. 

Besides that, it is expected to get the familiar family face with a split headlamp setup, square tail lamps, roof rails, and squared wheel arches. The details of the interior are not known at the moment. However, we could expect similar features from the C3, like a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, a dual-tone interior theme, a height-adjustable driver seat, and more.

Price:

We expect the this Citroen SUV to be priced from Rs 7 lakh to Rs 11 lakh (ex-showroom).

Rivals:

The Citroen compact SUV will rivals the likes of Hyundai Venue, Kia Sonet, Tata Nexon, Nissan Magnite, Maruti Suzuki Brezza, Renault Kiger, Toyota Urban Cruiser, Honda WR-V, and Mahindra XUV300.
