New Delhi: At the start of 2026, several automobile companies have increased the prices of their vehicles, and Citroën India has now joined the trend. The French automaker has raised the prices of its popular models, including the C3, Aircross, and Basalt.
Price Increase Details:
The price revision affects the C3 hatchback, Basalt coupe, and Aircross SUV, with the hike ranging between ₹20,000 and ₹45,000 depending on the model and variant.
A Strong December for Citroën:
Although Citroën has not yet achieved the level of success it had hoped for in the Indian market, December 2025 proved to be a strong month for the company. A total of 1,190 cars were sold, marking an impressive 110% year-on-year growth. Among these, the C3 hatchback was the top-seller with 886 units, followed by the C3 Aircross at 167 units, Basalt at 104 units, and the C5 Aircross with just one unit sold.
The recent price hike comes as a surprise to customers, with industry observers attributing it to increased input costs.
Updated Prices:
- Citroën C3 Hatchback: The ex-showroom price has increased by ₹15,000 to ₹40,000 across the trims—Live, Feel, and Shine. The new price range is ₹4.95 lakh to ₹9.45 lakh.
- Citroën Basalt Coupe: Prices have gone up by ₹20,000 to ₹45,000 across the U, Plus, and Max variants. The revised ex-showroom range is ₹8.15 lakh to ₹13.35 lakh.
- Citroën C3 Aircross SUV: The Aircross SUV now costs ₹8.49 lakh to ₹13.94 lakh ex-showroom, with a ₹20,000 to ₹45,000 increase across its seven variants, including U, Plus, and Max.
Despite the slowdown in overall car demand, Citroën’s decision to raise prices reflects the rising costs of production and materials, a move that will impact buyers looking for its popular models in the Indian market.
