Citroën C3 has been awarded the prestigious "2023 WORLD URBAN CAR" prize at the 19th WORLD CAR AWARDS. The announcement came on Wednesday, 5 April, on the side lines of the opening of the New York Auto Show, following a vote by more than 100 international journalists from 32 countries. C3 won a title in the Urban Car category, which is open to all cars under 4.25m that are on sale in at least two major markets (China, Europe, India, Japan, Korea, Latin America, US), and on at least two separate continents.

A versatile B-segment hatch, the C3 has been praised for its modernity and its assertive, customisable character. It stands out in its segment thanks to its unique attitude, its high ground clearance, its bonnet that dominates the road and its high driving position. In terms of well-being, nothing has been left to chance: in addition to Citroën’s signature comfort, its interior space is at the very top end of what is available on the market, and its clever design makes everyday life easier – smartphones can be integrated and connected up to an XXL 10″ touch screen. And to make life easier for customers, a new experience, including innovative service offers and a digital online purchase pathway, is being introduced in certain regions.
ALREADY MANY AWARDS FOR C3
In India, New C3 has won no less than 12 awards since its commercial launch, including “’Hatchback of the 2023 Year” from such reputable publications as Top Gear India, Car India, Indian Vehicle Awards and Motorscribes. They are unanimous in their praise of its original looks and unprecedented performance, and its ability to impress on Indian roads in demanding driving conditions, thanks to its specially tuned suspension system. Journalists have appreciated its original design, the dashboard which adds a modern touch, the 10″ touch screen – the widest in the segment – and the 200mm ground clearance. The “Compact SUV of the 2023 Year” award from Motor Vikatan magazine recognises its best-in-class comfort for the price, and its superb interior with an SUV-like driving position. It has also been awarded “Car of the Year 2023” at the Jagran HiTech Awards for the best technology products. In South America, it won its first award in Brazil, being named “Best National Car” on 8 November 2022, just two months after its launch. This is the most prestigious of the “Car Awards Brazil 2023” presented by Car Magazine. In this thirteenth edition, the selection criteria for the best commercial launch were market share, technological innovations and design. It also won the “Best National Car up to 1.2 L” pride, awarded by the Abiauto journalists’ association.
