Citroen Unveils Dark Edition for C3, Aircross and Basalt SUV Coupe

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.
