Powertrain Expansions: YOU Turbo and MAX NA
The AircrossX and BasaltX lineups now include the YOU Turbo and MAX NA editions.
- The YOU Turbo variant lowers the entry price for turbocharged performance, targeting buyers who want stronger drivability and confidence on the highway.
- The MAX Naturally Aspirated trim combines Citroën’s top-tier comfort features with the familiar linear power delivery of an NA powertrain.
- All MAX NA variants are offered in both Petrol and CNG guises.
ë-C3X Extended: Pushing the Range
To tackle range anxiety, the updated ë-C3X EXTENDED now boasts a certified MIDC-I/II range of 330 km. This model utilizes a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) pricing structure to significantly lower the upfront acquisition cost, making it a highly compelling option in the EV segment.
Introductory Pricing and Finance
To support the launch, Citroën introduced a step-up finance scheme allowing up to a 7-year loan tenure, which considerably reduces EMI burdens during the first four years. For the first year, EMI starts at INR 9,999 for the BasaltX and INR 10,555 for the AircrossX.
