GST 2.0: Citroën India cuts prices across models, C3 & C5 Aircross see big drops

Citroën India has announced that it will pass on the benefits of the GST 2.0 reforms to customers across all its models starting September 22, 2025. The move brings price reductions ranging from around ₹50,000 on the Aircross SUV to nearly ₹2.7 lakh on the premium C5 Aircross.

The C3 hatchback sees the steepest cuts at the entry level, with prices dropping up to ₹84,000, now starting at ₹4.80 lakh, making it one of the most affordable options in its segment. The newly launched Basalt and Basalt X, featuring Citroën’s CARA in-car assistant, now start at ₹7.95 lakh, enhancing their competitiveness in the midsize SUV market.

For larger family vehicles, the 5- and 7-seater Aircross SUVs get reductions of up to ₹50,000, while the C5 Aircross Shine receives the biggest benefit, with savings of nearly ₹2.7 lakh, bringing its ex-showroom price to ₹37.32 lakh. Bookings at the new prices are already open, allowing buyers to take advantage of the discounts ahead of deliveries after September 22.

The lower pricing makes the entry-level C3 more appealing compared to hatchbacks and compact sedans from Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, and Tata Motors, offering more features at a competitive price. The Basalt and Aircross midsize SUVs now present a stronger value proposition against rivals like the Tata Curvv, Kia Seltos, and Hyundai Creta, with starting prices under ₹8 lakh.

At the premium end, the significant price cut on the C5 Aircross positions Citroën as a cost-effective alternative in the luxury SUV segment, appealing to buyers seeking a well-equipped, large SUV without competing with higher-priced German models.
