Overview
- Citroën India opened bookings for the eC3X this week with deliveries expected in the coming months and an introductory ex-showroom price reported by some outlets.
- The eC3X uses a single 29.2 kWh battery and a 57 hp motor that Citroën says gives a combined range of 325 km and DC charging from 10–80% in about 57 minutes.
- Buyers can pay outright or choose Battery‑as‑a‑Service, which reduces the upfront price to about Rs 6.89–8.30 lakh and adds a battery rental charge reported at Rs 2.26 per km.
- The car is sold in three trims—Live, Live (O) and Shine—with the top Shine trim adding features such as projector LED lights, a larger touchscreen and six airbags.
- Comparisons with the Tata Tiago EV note tradeoffs: the eC3X offers larger battery capacity and more claimed range while the Tiago is shown to charge faster, costs less and comes with stronger standard safety kit.
