Citroën C3 (CC21)

The Citroën C3 (codenamed CC21)[2][3] is a crossover-inspired supermini/subcompact hatchback (B-segment) produced by Citroën. Differing from the European C3, the vehicle was announced on 16 September 2021 as a vehicle dedicated for the Indian and South American markets.[4] Avoiding the "crossover SUV" branding, the model has been described by Citroën as a "modern hatchback".[5]
