Know before you choose

  • Six airbags are not standard across the range. Live, Live (O) and Feel have two; Feel (O) and Shine have six and ISOFIX. A higher engine price does not automatically add side/curtain airbags.
  • ESP, hill hold and TPMS are PureTech 110 turbo-only. Naturally aspirated Shine has six airbags but lacks those three features. Turbo Feel has ESP but retains two airbags.
  • Cruise control and speed limiter are Shine Turbo AT-only. There is no Feel automatic or Feel (O) turbo in the current eight-offer price list.

Delivery checklistKnow what to check before taking the keys.

C3X delivery checklist

A quick pre-delivery inspection (PDI) before you accept your car.

  • Match the VIN, C3X variant, powertrain and paint on the vehicle against your order and invoice before accepting delivery.
  • Inspect the clean car in daylight: paint, panels, glass, tyres, lights, seats and every promised accessory. Photograph concerns and get a written resolution.
  • Ask the dealer to demonstrate a normal start, dashboard warning-light self-check, air conditioning, keys and the controls fitted to your variant.
