Citroen Expands India Lineup with New AircrossX and BasaltX Variants, e-C3X Gets More Range

Citroen India has expanded its portfolio with new variants of the AircrossX and BasaltX, while also introducing an enhanced-range version of the e-C3X.

The updates bring more powertrain choices to the two ICE models, while the e-C3X EXTENDED now offers a claimed 330 km certified range. All three additions are available across Citroen dealerships from September 7, 2026.

More choices for AircrossX and BasaltX buyers

Citroen has introduced new variants aimed at buyers looking for different combinations of performance and comfort.

The new YOU Turbo variants bring turbocharged petrol engines to a more accessible price point. In contrast, the MAX Naturally Aspirated variants allow buyers to opt for Citroen’s higher-end comfort and convenience features with a naturally aspirated petrol engine.

The new variants are priced at:

• AircrossX YOU Turbo Comfort Edition: ₹10.69 lakh
• AircrossX MAX NA: ₹11.62 lakh
• BasaltX YOU Turbo: ₹9.99 lakh
• BasaltX MAX NA: ₹11.34 lakh

Citroen says the expanded range is designed to cater to buyers with different priorities, including family versatility, comfort and stronger everyday performance.

e-C3X gets a 330 km range

The biggest update to Citroen’s electric offering is the e-C3X EXTENDED.

The updated model now offers a claimed 330 km MIDC-certified range, thanks to improvements aimed at increasing efficiency and using energy more effectively.

Citroen is also offering the model with its Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, with prices starting from ₹6.99 lakh, plus a battery EMI of ₹2.26 per kilometre.

Festive-season push

Citroen has timed the portfolio expansion for the festive season and is also offering special financing schemes.

The company says EMIs start from:

• ₹9,999 for the BasaltX
• ₹10,555 for the AircrossX

The financing scheme offers loan tenures of up to seven years, with lower EMI outflows during the initial years.

The Final Take

This update is less about introducing entirely new cars and more about giving buyers more ways to enter the Citroen lineup.

By adding more accessible turbo variants, naturally aspirated options, and a longer-range EV, Citroen is trying to cover a wider range of buyers without changing its core products.

The bigger question is whether more choice and flexible pricing will be enough to help Citroen gain stronger traction in India’s increasingly competitive car market.
