Citroen takes the Shine off the C3 range
October 22, 2021
Citroën is updating its C3 supermini line-up and with prices starting from £14,180 and customers now have a more streamlined series of trim and engine variants.

The updated Citroën C3 range sees the Shine trim level depart the range, whilst the recently introduced and popular Saint James spec moves to a more prominent position in the C3 line-up. This change provides buyers with a strong customer advantage, with Saint James models enjoying a significant uplift in specification versus the outgoing Shine trim for a modest £400 additional outlay.
With a distinctive look, Citroën C3 Saint James is an illustration of Citroën’s French heritage, taking inspiration from the Saint James clothing brand that was founded in 1889 and celebrating the artisan traditions of north-west France.
Available with a choice of PureTech 83 S&S manual or PureTech 110 S&S 6-speed automatic petrol powertrains, Citroën C3 Saint James boasts a wealth of standard specification over and above the Shine trim. Standard equipment includes Advanced Comfort seats, featuring broad cushions and cossetting seat backs. The design combines high-density foam at the heart of each seat, a thick, textured foam on the surface and a carefully selected blend of soft fabric and leather-effect materials to ensure optimum comfort on any journey.
There is an exclusive Saint James exterior styling pack with logos and a special roof decal, a soft touch dashboard facia and bespoke carpet mats. Other features offered include a leather-covered steering wheel, reversing camera, dark tinted windows and 16-inch bi-tone diamond cut alloy wheels.
Citroën C3 Saint James is joined in the line-up by Sense, C-Series and Shine Plus models.
