Citroen has launched Dark Edition variants of the C3, Aircross, and Basalt SUV Coupe. The Dark Edition lineup introduces visual enhancements rather than mechanical changes, and Citroen is targeting style-conscious buyers with this offering.
Dark Edition
The C3, Aircross and the Basalt SUV Coupe now sport a backed-out exterior theme. This includes a black roof, grille, alloy wheels, and darkened skid plates. The Citroen logo has also been reimagined in black, replacing the standard chrome for a more theme-appropriate look. The cabin is styled with Metropolitan Black leatherette seats and a custom leatherette-wrapped instrument panel; A Lava Red Detailing and high-gloss black finishes on key touchpoints further enhance the Carbon Black Interiors. The Dark Edition also includes exclusive elements such as custom seat covers, dark chrome mouldings, and a grille embellisher.
This edition is based on the top-end variants, offering the same 1.2L turbo-petrol engine paired with a 6-speed manual transmission. Citroen has not made any mechanical changes, so performance remains the same as the standard trims.
