Citroen India recently uploaded a teaser of the Citroen C3, the Citroen Basalt and the Citroen C3 Aircross sporting a ‘Dark Edition’ over its social media platforms.

Earlier, the carmaker had also revealed a teaser specifically for the Basalt dark edition, which revealed some information about the upcoming coupe-SUV. Other cars are expected to get a similar treatment.
