C3 gets a torque converter automatic option, while its rivals get a simpler automated manual unit.

Citroen recently introduced an automatic gearbox option for the C3, over two years after it started selling the tallboy hatchback in India. Only available in top-spec Shine form, the C3 automatic is priced from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 10.27 lakh, and it continues to face competition from the likes of Tata Punch, Hyundai Exter and Maruti Ignis, all of which are also available with optional automatic gearboxes. Here’s how the C3 automatic fares against its rivals on paper.
