Citroen eC3X gets 330km range

Alongside the SUV updates, Citroen has also enhanced the eC3X electric hatchback. The updated model now has a claimed MIDC range of 330km, up from 325km previously.

New Citroen finance scheme

Citroen is also introducing a step-up finance scheme for the new models, with loan tenures of up to seven years. The structure is designed to keep the EMI lower during the initial years of ownership compared with a conventional loan.

Under the scheme, the Basalt X range has an EMI starting at Rs 9,999, while the Aircross X starts at Rs 10,555. The company says the introductory EMI applies for the first year of the loan tenure.
