In an effort to ease the ownership experience, the company offers the ‘Citroen Future Sure’ package, wherein new C3 customers can avail of monthly payments starting from Rs 11,999. This package includes routine maintenance, extended warranty, roadside assistance, and on-road financing for a period of up to five years.

What’s not so good?
