The Citroën C3-XR is a Chinese-exclusive subcompact crossover from the Franco-Chinese joint venture Dongfeng Peugeot-Citroën.[3][4]

A three-box version has been marketed from 2020 to 2021 under the name Citroën C3L.

Overview

[edit]

Originally previewed by the concept Citroën C–XR during the 2014 Beijing Auto Show in April 2014,[5][6] the C3-XR is derived from the Citroën C-Elysée.[7] Citroën debuted the C3-XR on the 2014 Paris Auto Show, and released the production version in China on the 2014 Guangzhou Auto Show in November 2014.[8]

The actual production version of the Citroën C3–XR was launched on the China car market on December 21, 2014.[9] A special anniversary edition package for the Citroën C3–XR was available, when the joint venture of Dongfeng PSA celebrates its twenty fifth anniversary in 2017.

The special edition was sold as a package exclusively for the 134 hp (100 kW; 136 PS) 1.2 liter turbo version released in 2016. The package comes in two trim levels, including the glitter and gold trim.[10]

Engines

During the initial release, available engines for the Citroën C3–XR are a 117 hp (87 kW; 119 PS) 1.6-liter engine and a 167 hp (125 kW; 169 PS) 1.6-liter turbo engine.

An additional engine option was added for the Citroen C3–XR in 2016. The added engine was a 1.2-litre turbocharged four cylinder petrol engine with an output of 134 hp (100 kW; 136 PS) and 230 N⋅m (170 lb⋅ft), and was mated to a six speed automatic gearbox. The updated model was released to the car market in China in March 2016.[11]

2019 facelift

[edit]

The C3–XR received a facelift in 2019, featuring a restyled front fascia. The facelift was revealed on January 16, 2019, and was available in the market by March 2019. Engine options include a 1.6-litre engine, producing 117 hp (87 kW; 119 PS), and a 1.2-litre turbo engine, producing 134 hp (100 kW; 136 PS), both mated to either a five speed manual gearbox, and one six speed semi automatic gearbox.[12]
