Citroen India Launches Limited-Run C3 Sport Edition with Sporty Styling and Class-Leading Performance
Chennai, June 16, 2025: Citroen India has introduced the new C3 Sport Edition, a limited-run variant of its popular hatchback that blends bold design with segment-best performance. With visual upgrades and sporty enhancements, the new edition is targeted at young, performance-focused buyers looking for style, comfort, and everyday usability.
A major highlight of this edition is the debut of a new Garnet Red body colour, exclusive to the Sport Edition. The exterior gets a sporty makeover with striking 'SPORT' decals, ambient lighting, and a sporty pedal kit, emphasizing its athletic appeal.
Inside, the cabin is enhanced with custom seat covers, coordinated carpet mats, and seatbelt cushions, all tailored to match the car's sporty persona. Buyers can also opt for a Tech Kit, which includes a wireless charger and dashcam, available at an additional ₹15,000.
Under the hood, the C3 Sport Edition continues to offer the most powerful engine in its segment—a 1.2L Turbo PureTech petrol engine delivering 110 PS and 205 Nm of torque. It also offers the fastest 0-100 km/h time of just 10 seconds in its class. Adding to the performance credentials is a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission, providing a smoother and more refined drive than the AMTs commonly used in this segment.
Commenting on the launch, Kumar Priyesh, Business Head & Director – Automotive Brands, Stellantis India, said:
'The C3 Sport Edition brings more energy, tech, and thrill to a car already known for its bold design and comfort. It caters to a new generation of buyers who value individuality and performance, while staying practical.'
The C3 Sport Edition is priced at a premium of ₹21,000 over the standard variant and is available at Citroen dealerships across India starting today.
With this launch, Citroen strengthens its presence in the competitive hatchback segment by offering a stylish and high-performance alternative tailored for modern urban drivers.

Mercedes EQS 580 Celebration Edition launched at ₹1.30 crore, limited to 50 units
Mercedes-Benz India has introduced a limited-production variant of its flagship electric sedan, the EQS 580 4MATIC 'Celebration Edition', priced at ₹1.30 crore, ex-showroom. It comes in a mere 50 units and is a sign of rising popularity of the EQS series in India and the marque's growing share in the luxury battery electric vehicle (BEV) space. Mercedes-Benz India stated to have seen a 73 per cent increase in its battery electric vehicle sales up to May 2025. The rollout is part of Mercedes-Benz's growing retail footprint in India, with the opening of four new luxury retail showrooms in major Indian cities. The EQS 580 4MATIC 'Celebration Edition' keeps the same overall form but introduces an added level of detailing to distinguish it. They are finer surrounds on the lighting units and new design for the aero alloy wheels. Although subtle, these cosmetic changes are intended to further reinforce the sedan's status as a premium electric luxury car. Inside, the EV adds 'Executive Seats' which recline up to 38 degrees and feature multi-contour massage functionality, lumbar support, and a chauffeur package that enables electronic adjustment of the front passenger seat from the rear. Full Nappa leather trim, including designer seatbelt buckles, add to cabin appeal.

Mercedes-Benz India to raise prices again in September, amid exchange rate fluctuations: MD Santosh Iyer
Mercedes-Benz India will increase prices of its models by 1% to 1.5% in September, its third for the year, amid exchange rate fluctuations, said its Managing Director and CEO Santosh Iyer. The German luxury maker also reiterated its earlier forecast of flat to single digit growth in India for 2025, amid exchange rates and geopolitical concerns. 'We have increased our prices in the range of 1-1.5% each in January and June. We have priced our cars for the rupee-euro exchange to be in the range 89-90. Now it has breached the 98 mark for the first time. 70% of our models have European content and therefore when the euro goes up the price of the models will go up,' Mr. Iyer said in a media interaction. He was in Chennai for the inauguration of the Mercedes-Benz 'Atelier Experience' showroom from Sundaram Motors at Adyar in Chennai. Mercedes-Benz also launched itd EQS580 'Celebration Edition'. 'We cannot pass on the entire shock of price hikes to customers in one go. We have to do it in a phased manner. The price increase will have an impact on demand. That is why we have guided for flat to single-digit growth in 2025,' Mr. Iyer said. He also said the repo rate cut by the Reserve Bank of India is a welcome step and would help increase demand. '80% of our cars are bought on finance. Banks and our own financial arm have passed on the rate cuts. Despite the price increases, the EMIs have remained the same due to the rate cuts. The rate cuts increase demand for housing. Construction sector is one of the key segments for the luxury car market,' Mr. Iyer said. He also pointed out that Mercedes-Benz has outpaced the market in terms of luxury car electric vehicle sales, driven by its top-end models. 'When you look at the combustion engine models there is a 48% GST and 20% road tax. Whereas in case EVs the GST is 5% and most States have exempted road tax and some have given 50% waiver on road tax. So some customers are seeing the benefits of buying an EV model,' Mr. Iyer said.
