Model Positioning: The Basalt, Aircross and C3 are core models for Citroën’s india strategy — catering to buyers looking for value, style and features in the compact SUV/hatchback segment.

Market Competition: These price adjustments come at a time when rivals from Hyundai, Tata, maruti Suzuki and Kia are also revising prices due to input cost changes, tax structure shifts and market dynamics.

No Feature Changes: The hikes are purely pricing updates — the vehicles themselves, including engines and equipment lists, remain unchanged.
