Citroen India has introduced the e-C3X with a new Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) ownership model, significantly reducing the upfront cost of its electric hatchback. With the BaaS scheme, the e-C3X can now be purchased at an effective starting price of ₹6.89 lakh, making it one of the most affordable EVs in the country.
The launch is aimed at lowering the entry barrier for buyers considering a switch to electric mobility, while also adding new features and ownership options.
Citroen is offering the e-C3X in three variants.
Citroën e-C3X pricing:
| Variant | Ex-showroom Price | Effective Price | BaaS Price |

| eC3 Live (O) | ₹12.35 lakh | ₹10.85 lakh | ₹7.09 lakh |
| eC3 Shine | ₹13.26 lakh | ₹12.25 lakh | ₹8.30 lakh |
Under the BaaS model, customers pay a separate battery subscription charge of ₹ 2.26 per kilometre.

The e-C3X’s new BaaS model tackles one of the biggest hurdles to EV adoption: high upfront costs. By separating the battery from the purchase price, Citroen has made its electric hatchback considerably more accessible. Whether buyers embrace the subscription-based battery model remains to be seen, but it certainly gives the e-C3X a unique edge in India’s increasingly competitive EV market.
