Citroen testing sub-4 meter SUV platform in India

A test mule of a vehicle which is believed to be based on Citroen's sub-4 meter SUV platform for India has been spotted testing. It is expected to underpin a new model codenamed C21.

The new platform is expected to be a modified version of the platform that underpins the Citroen C3 and Peugeot 208. The test mule has a 208 bodyshell, which has been raised to accommodate the increased ground clearance.

Reports suggest that the Citroen C21 could be offered with naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions of a 1.2-litre, 3-cylinder petrol engine and a 1.5-litre diesel. Transmission options might include a 6-speed manual. An automatic transmission could be launched later.
