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.
