2017 Citroen C3 front spotted — The new C3 will go on sale in European markets in January 2017.

At launch, it will be available with a selection of PureTech three-cylinder petrol and BlueHDi diesel engines, with the maximum output being 108 hp. It will be available with manual and automatic gearbox options. Further details on performance figures will be revealed at its debut tomorrow.

The exterior of the new C3 strays away from the DS-inspired design for retro yet contemporary styling that borrows cues from its bigger sibling, the C4 Cactus. The highlights are a dual tone exterior color option, two-tier headlamps characteristic of Citroen's latest products and a belt of Airbumps across the lower profile that absorb light impacts.
