The French carmaker Citroen is preparing for its impending market debut with the C3X Cross, an entirely new compact crossover sedan meant to take the place of the C3 and C3 Cross.
The new Citroen C3X Cross is the ideal fusion of comfort and modern design with practicality. With its class-leading ground clearance and muscular SUV-like attitude, this crossover sedan coupe is sure to make an impression on the market.
The primary element that sets the new Citron C3X Cross apart from the competition is its coupe-like shape and SUV-like body style. The design language of this compact sedan is quite appealing and modern. Expect the iconic Citroen grill, which is combined with LED turn signals and daytime running lights, as well as a new bumper that has an LED headlamp unit installed on it, similar to the other models the French automaker offers. Inside, the C3X Cross and its sibling hatchback C3 should look very similar. The model will likely get a 10.25-inch touch-screen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, along with a few small adjustments and upgrades to the dash design.
A 1.2-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 110 horsepower and 190 Nm of torque is anticipated to power the C3X Cross. Like other Citroën cars, it will be mated to a six-speed manual transmission. The French automaker most likely plans to introduce this vehicle with a brand-new automatic 6-speed gearbox. In the near future, a fully electric version of this new crossover sedan will possibly be available.

Citroen’s CMP modular architecture will serve as the foundation for the New C3X Cross Sedan, much like it does for its siblings, the C3 and C3 Aircross. The new Citroen C3X Cross is anticipated to close the price difference with its siblings when it goes on sale for between 9 and 15 lakhs (ex-showroom). Similar to the other models that are already for sale, the variants will most likely also be offered in dual-tone versions, but this has not been disclosed yet.
