The C3 Dark Edition, Basalt Dark Edition and Aircross Dark Edition will come wearing an all-black theme on the exterior, which will be distinctive from the standard model. Besides that, there will be silver skid plates, dual-tone alloy wheels and special Dark Edition badges as well. Inside the cabin, the three special edition models will sport an all-black theme, complementing the exterior colour. The seats and upholstery of these special edition Citroen cars get contrasting red stitches, adding sportiness and visual appeal to them. In order to make the upcoming Dark Edition cars Citroen is likely to offer some exclusive accessories that would enhance the cosmetic appeal of the special edition models.

On the powertrain front, all three upcoming special edition avatars of the Citroen C3, Basalt and Aircross are expected to come the same as their standard counterparts. In that case, the engine and transmission choices for all three models will remain unchanged. Power and torque output too would remain unchanged.
