“The South African launch of the all-new Citroën C3 is one of the most important for us in recent times. The B-Segment represents nearly half of the passenger car market, and we are confident that the new C3’s crossover design and class-leading infotainment system will make it an attractive contender for prospective buyers. The C3 range will be further expanded with a high-grade model, an automatic option, as well as a compact SUV in the near future.” – Leslie Ramsomaar, CEO & Managing Director, Stellantis South Africa.

Dubbed the C3 Max, several exterior and interior design elements distinguish the latest rendition of the C3 moniker. The Max offshoot is distinguished by its 15-inch alloy wheels, front fog lights, and rear skid plate. Additionally, the C3 Max model features a rearview camera. Key components of the interior include a 10.0-inch touchscreen, a 7.0-inch driver display, a 1-litre glovebox, and an anodised finish on the upper portion of the dashboard along a chevron texture.

Motivating the C3 Max is the same 1.2-litre naturally aspirated engine employed in the C3 Feel stablemate. The naturally aspirated powerplant generates 61kW and 115 N.m, mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Consumers can expect a fuel consumption figure of 5.6 L/100 km. Underpinning the C3 Max is a suspension system that achieves Citroën’s “flying carpet effect”.
