Citroen has launched the updated eC3X in India at a starting price of Rs 10.25 lakh (ex-showroom). The biggest highlight is the introduction of a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option, which lowers the upfront vehicle cost to Rs 6.89 lakh, with customers paying Rs 2.26 per km for battery usage. Along with the new ownership model, the eC3X also gets a few design and feature updates while retaining its existing electric powertrain. Without delay, let's get into the details.
Design
The updated eC3X receives a series of styling revisions that help it align with Citroen's latest design language. The model now adopts the "X" suffix, similar to the recently updated C3X and Aircross X range. Up front, it features LED projector headlamps paired with Citroen's signature split LED daytime running lights, while LED fog lamps improve visibility. The electric crossover also rides on new 15-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels and features contrast-coloured skid plates that enhance its rugged character. Buyers can choose from six exterior shades: Polar White, Steel Grey, Cosmo Blue, Perla Nera Black, Garnet Red, and Deep Forest Green.
Interiors
Inside, the refreshed Citroen eC3X gets a revised cabin featuring a new white and blue dual-tone theme that lends a brighter and more premium feel. The feature list includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, a new seven-inch TFT instrument cluster, wireless phone charging, and Citroen Connected Car Technology 2.0. Safety has also been enhanced with six airbags offered as standard. Customers can further opt for accessories such as a dual dashcam setup and a JBL-sourced audio system for an improved in-car experience.
Powertrain
The updated eC3X continues to be powered by the same 29.2kWh battery pack, which belts out 320 km of range in a single charge. When paired up with an electric motor, this setup belts out 56 bhp and 143 nm of torque. Talking about the charging capabilities, it can juice up from 10-80% in just 57 minutes using a DC charger.
