Citroën C3 (CC21)
The Citroën C3 (codenamed CC21) is a supermini car (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 Latin American markets. Produced in Brazil and India, the model has been described by Citroën as a "modern hatchback", avoiding the "crossover SUV" branding. Overview
Production in Brazil started in March 2022. The C3 was launched in the country late August of the same year with 1.0-litre and 1.6 engines. It is priced between A-segment (such as Renault Kwid) and B-segment (such as Hyundai HB20) vehicles. The Brazilian C3 was launched in Argentina late October 2022. In Argentina and in Uruguay, the 1.0-litre FireFly Fiat engine is replaced by the 1.2-litre PureTech PSA engine. The base model is the most affordable vehicle in Argentina at its launch. The C3 has been sold in India since mid-2022. In 2022, the Indian version has 90% local parts. Since 2023, the Brazilian-made C3 has been exported outside of Mercosur, in several Latin America countries such as Chile, Peru and Costa Rica. ë-C3

India 
In India, the C3 is fitted with two frontal airbags, anti-lock brakes, seatbelt reminders for front-seat occupants and speed alerts at 80 km/h and 120 km/h as required by Indian AIS safety regulations. Side airbags for the thorax or head are not available, and neither are electronic stability control or a tyre pressure monitor. The rear centre seatbelt is of a dangerous static two-point type and this seating position is not fitted with a head restraint. The rear outboard head restraints are not adjustable. There are no ISOFIX anchorages for child restraints. Although the C3 complies with Indian crashworthiness legislation, it has not been rated by independent consumer testing programmes like Global NCAP. Latin America 
In Brazil, the C3 is fitted with two frontal airbags, anti-lock brakes, electronic stability control, seatbelt reminders for the front seats, ISOFIX anchorages at the rear outboard seats, and adjustable head restraints and three-point inertia-reel seatbelts for all rear seats. It had been tested by Latin NCAP and received 0 star because of unstable structure, weak frontal crash protection, lack of lateral head protection and lack of seatbelt reminder. Awards 
In 2023, the Citroën C3 won the World Urban Car of the Year. Sales
