Citroen India recorded a threefold increase in sales during the fourth quarter (Q4) of 2025 compared to the previous quarter, supported by its Citroen 2.0 "Shift Into The New" strategy. Introduced in August 2025, this roadmap aims to strengthen localisation, expand the brand's nationwide footprint, and improve overall customer experience.
The Citroen 2.0 plan represents the company's renewed approach to the Indian market through deeper localisation, wider reach of dealerships and service centres, and improved product and ownership experiences. The company said these initiatives have started to yield measurable results, contributing to a stronger sales performance in the final quarter of the year.

Shailesh Hazela, CEO and Managing Director of Stellantis India, said that the new approach has created a sustainable growth path for the brand. "Citroen 2.0 - 'Shift Into The New' strategy is leading the steady growth in India. With sharp focus on localisation, enhancing India-first product interventions, and expanding customer accessibility, we have created a strong and sustainable growth path," he said. Hazela added that Citroen delivered three-times higher sales in Q4 versus Q3 2025, while also contributing significantly to Stellantis India's 18.8 percent export growth for the year.
In 2025, Citroen upgraded its model lineup with products such as the C3 Dark Edition, C3 Aircross, C3X, Basalt, and Aircross X. The new Basalt X introduced the company's in-car assistant, CARA, which provides integrated functions such as music control, navigation, hands-free calling, weather updates, reminders, web search, and flight tracking.
