Citroen India has introduced the limited-run Dark Editions for three of its models – the C3 hatchback, the C3 Aircross SUV, and the upcoming Basalt coupe-SUV. These special versions feature a distinctive all-black aesthetic inside and out, while keeping the original mechanical setup unchanged. Pricing for the Dark Edition series begins at Rs 8.38 lakh (ex-showroom).
The C3 Dark Edition is derived from the Shine variant and is priced at Rs 8.38 lakh. It showcases a Perla Nera Black exterior finish complemented by dark chrome Citroen emblems. The cabin has been enhanced with red-stitched leatherette trim, gloss black highlights around the AC vents and gear lever, and new ambient lighting along with illuminated footwells for a more upscale appearance.
The C3 Aircross Dark Edition, based on the Max trim and priced at Rs 13.13 lakh, also receives the blacked-out treatment. Inside, it incorporates Lava Red accents, leatherette seat upholstery and door pads, a glossy black gear lever surround, as well as subtle touches like illuminated door sill plates and seatbelt cushions.
Making its debut in the Dark Edition lineup is the Basalt coupe-SUV, priced at Rs 12.80 lakh. It mirrors the Aircross in terms of cosmetic updates—featuring dark chrome elements, a carbon black dashboard, and leatherette seats with red stitching. Notably, the first unit of the Basalt Dark Edition has already been delivered to cricket legend MS Dhoni.
All three models continue with their existing engine setups. The Aircross and Basalt retain the 1.2-litre turbo-petrol motor. These exclusive variants are available at a slight premium, with prices increasing by as little as Rs 19,500 depending on the model. Availability is limited and can be checked at Citroen dealerships across India.
