Furthermore, the new Citroen C3 is said to be entering the production sometime in late December this year. The CC21 will see a global debut on September 16, 2021. There are multiple reports according to which Citroen India will be aiming to produce around 33,000 units of the CC21 in a year, which translates to around 2,750 units in a month. It would be built at the Thiruvallur plant and the company had earlier announced that production capacity would be ramped up in phases to 1,00,000 units a year.
As far as dealerships go, the company currently sells just one product, the C5 Aircross SUV, via 10 outlets in India. While the number of dealerships is likely to increase closer to the market launch of the CC21, the model is also expected to be sold online, similar to the C5 Aircross. While we are not completely sure about the actual car, it could be based on the CMP modular platform that will underpin other vehicles, including a sub-four-meter SUV from sister-brand Jeep. It is expected come with a 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to either a 5-speed manual or an automatic gearbox. It could also be positioned at the lower end of the compact SUV market.
