Citroen is joining the growing trend of special Black or Dark Edition models, a move already seen by manufacturers like Mahindra, Tata, Hyundai, and Jeep. The French carmaker is set to unveil its latest range of Dark Edition models tomorrow, April 10, 2025, with three exciting new variants: the C3, Aircross (formerly C3 Aircross), and Basalt. The company has been teasing the models on social media for over a week now, revealing exciting glimpses of their design and features.
Citroen Dark Edition Models and Features
The upcoming Citroen Dark Edition range will consist of three top-tier variants based on the highest trims of their respective models. The teaser videos have already given us a preview of what to expect, especially regarding the interiors, which promise a premium and sporty feel. The models will be available in a stealthy, all-black design, both inside and out, with contrasting details to add a sporty flair.
Citroen Dark Edition Exterior
The Dark Edition models will feature a bold, blacked-out exterior design with dark chrome accents on the grille inserts and badges, giving the cars a sleek and stealthy look. In addition, the headlights may come with a smoked finish to enhance their sporty appeal. The dual-tone wheels on all models are expected to remain unchanged, alongside contrasting silver accents on the bumpers, which help break up the black color scheme, adding visual appeal.

Citroen Dark Edition Interiors
As shown in the teaser, the interiors of the Citroen Dark Edition models will boast an all-black theme, providing a luxurious and modern feel. The dashboard and door trims will be wrapped in soft-touch leatherette material, offering a premium touch that’s not available in the standard models, which feature hard plastic. Contrast red stitching on the dashboard, front center armrest, and black upholstery will further accentuate the sporty nature of the cabin.
Additional features include illuminated sill plates and ambient footwell lighting, elevating the premium feel. Other interior elements remain the same across all three models, ensuring a consistent driving experience.
Citroen Dark Edition Powertrain
Mechanically, the Citroen Dark Edition models will not differ from their standard counterparts. All three models will be powered by a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 109 bhp and 190 Nm of torque (205 Nm in the automatic version). The engine will be mated to either a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed torque converter automatic transmission. Expect a price premium of Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000 over the standard models, making these Dark Edition variants a premium option in the Citroen lineup.
