A special ‘Dark Edition’ badge on the tailgate adds a touch of exclusivity.

The Citroen Dark Edition models are expected to retain their current engine options, with no mechanical updates planned. The C3 Dark Edition will likely continue with the 1.2-litre petrol engine, offered in both naturally aspirated and turbocharged versions, paired with either a manual or automatic transmission. The Basalt is also expected to carry on with the same 1.2-litre turbo-petrol motor, available with a six-speed manual or automatic, while the naturally aspirated version will be limited to a five-speed manual. Similarly, the Aircross Dark Edition should maintain its current engine lineup, including both naturally aspirated and turbocharged petrol units, with manual and automatic gearbox options.
