Which Citroen C3X variant should you buy?

There are 8 ways to buy a C3X, across 7 trims, from ₹4.99L to ₹9.68L ex-showroom Delhi.

Pound for pound the ladder pays best at Shine: ₹0.28L more than Turbo Feel, and no rung you pay extra for hands back more kit per rupee.

Above that, the one to think hardest about is Turbo Shine. At ₹1.11L over Shine it asks the most per feature of anything higher up the range, so take it because you want what it adds, not because it is next.

How this is worked out: every step below compares the cheapest way into one trim with the cheapest way into the next, then weighs what the money buys against what it costs. No opinion is added on top, and nothing is rounded in a trim's favour. Read the full method.

    Worth knowing: this step also gives up electronic stability control and tyre pressure monitor.

  6. Shine to Turbo Shine

    +₹1.11L (from ₹8.97L)

    The dearest step above that one for what it adds. Worth it only if you want this kit specifically.

    • Electronic stability control
    • Tyre pressure monitor

Not every rung here is a straight upgrade. 2 of them hand back more equipment than they add, so they are shown in full but left out of the value ranking rather than dressed up as a step up.

Where the kit that matters lands

  • Airbags: 6 of them arrive at Feel (O), from ₹7.03L. Not every trim keeps them: the Turbo Feel at ₹7.58L has 2 airbags against 6.
  • Automatic: the cheapest is the Turbo Shine Turbo Petrol AT at ₹9.68L. See it

Then there is the engine

Picking the trim is only half of it. The C3X is sold with 2 powertrains, and the cheapest way into each is a different amount of money.
