Citroen e-C3X – Market Positioning and Rivals
The all new Citroen e-C3X range starts at Rs 10.25 lakh ex showroom, while the BaaS option lowers the entry price to Rs 6.89 lakh with battery usage charged at Rs 2.26 per kilometre. Bookings are now open across the Citroen dealership network and on the official Citroen India website.
Kumar Priyesh, Director Automotive Brands, Stellantis India, said: “With the all-new e‑C3X, we are taking a decisive step forward in India’s electric mobility journey. This is not just a product launch, but a meaningful move to make EV ownership more accessible and flexible through our BaaS offering. Combined with Citroen’s signature comfort, bold design and practical technology, the e‑C3X delivers a well-rounded and compelling electric mobility experience tailored for Indian customers.”
In terms of rivals, the Citroen e-C3X primarily competes with the Tata Punch EV. However, the BaaS pricing strategy also places it close to the Tata Tiago EV. While the Tiago EV is a hatchback, both models are similarly priced and similarly equipped, giving buyers more options in the affordable electric vehicle segment.
