New Entry-Level Citroen Compact Crossover Spied For First Time Mar 10, 2021 at 5:23pm ET ++ It’ll launch in India sometime this year. Citroën’s smallest offer, the C1, is heading to the automotive dustbin as consumers shun small cars for crossovers and SUVs. However, the C1’s demise won’t leave it without an entry-level offering. New spy photos show the French automaker testing a potential entry-level replacement – a new compact crossover internally codenamed the C21. These are our first spy shots of the new model, which is set to launch in India later this year. The photos show a high-ridding compact covered in camouflage, which hides many of its design details. The new Citroën will ride on the PSA Group’s Common Modular Platform (CMP), which underpins a host of vehicles, including the rumored Jeep model that’ll somehow slot below the Renegade. It’s a different platform than what underpins the C5 Aircross SUV, which the brand just introduced in India. While the Citroën 21 will launch in India, our spy photographers caught it cold-weather testing in northern Sweden.
