Citroën C3 car

The Citroën C3 is a popular subcompact car (B-segment) produced by the French automaker Citroën since 2002. As a cornerstone of the Citroën lineup, it represents the brand's commitment to comfort, unique design, and practicality. The vehicle has gone through several generations, including specialized versions adapted for emerging markets like India and South America.

Manufacturing for the Citroën C3 is distributed across various international facilities to serve different regions. Primary production sites have included the Poissy plant in France, Trnava in Slovakia, and more recently, the Porto Real plant in Brazil and the Thiruvallur plant in India. This diverse manufacturing footprint allows Citroën to tailor the C3 to local market demands and regulatory standards.

Citroën was founded in 1919 by André-Gustave Citroën and quickly became known for its innovative engineering. In 1976, Citroën became part of PSA Peugeot Citroën. Following the 2021 merger between PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Citroën is now a prominent brand under the ultimate ownership of Stellantis N.V., a Dutch-domiciled multinational corporation.
