Citroen Australia has released the facelifted version of the third-generation C3 light hatchback, which costs the same as its predecessor but comes with more standard equipment.
Priced from a familiar $28,990 plus on-road costs, the C3 remains available in a single grade, dubbed Shine, but it now features LED daytime running lights, 16-inch Helix alloy wheels, Advanced Comfort front seats and front parking sensors.
As reported, the facelift also introduces a fresh version of Citroen's double-chevron logo at the front, the lower louvre of which falls away at its ends.
Meanwhile, there are now three body-protecting Airbumps on the side doors, instead of the previous seven, as well as redesigned C-pillar graphics.
Spring Blue and Arctic Blue are also new exterior paintwork options, costing $690 extra each, while Emerald is a new roof colour and interior trim option.
Carryover standard equipment in the Volkswagen Polo and Mazda2 rival includes keyless entry and start, autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, cruise control, speed limit recognition, driver attention alert, a reversing camera and hill-start assist.
As before, the Shine is powered by an 81kW/205Nm 1.2-litre turbo-petrol three-cylinder engine, which is mated to a six-speed torque-converter automatic transmission.
