In profile, there are no noticeable changes, although the turn indicators mounted on the ORVMs (outside rear-view mirrors). A thick body cladding runs along the length of the car, adding to its rugged appeal, and it also features roof rails. The C3X continues to ride on the same 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels as before. At the rear, the only clue that it’s a new variant is the ‘C3X’ insignia, while the rest of the details remain unchanged.
The C3 comes in 5 monotone colour options: Polar White, Steel Grey, Cosmo Blue, Perla Nera Black, and Garnet Red. There are two dual tone colours available as well – Cosmo Blue with Polar White roof, and Garnet Red with Perla Nera Black roof.
