Citroen’s third-generation C3 supermini is said to rock the company’s new design language, possibly influenced by both the C4 Picasso MPV as well as the popular C4 Cactus.

It’s hard to tell exactly what’s underneath all that camouflage, but then again, that’s the whole point. We can, however, make out the bold front end with its raised bonnet, making it almost seem like there are two separate protruding levels, design wise.

Looking at its profile, the C3 has apparently dropped its round/undulating lines in favor of a more straight-forward and dynamic appearance, somewhat similar to what Renault have done with the current-generation Clio.

There’s not much we can take away from looking at the rear, other than the pair of bulbous taillights – the type of design Citroen currently uses on their C4 Cactus as well as on their more upscale DS3 hatchback.

Engine-wise, we can expect both 3 and 4-cylinder petrol and BlueHDi diesel units with a focus on fuel economy, though something with a bit more punch isn’t completely out of the question seen as how the 2017 C3 WRC has already been seen out and about.

The new C3 is expected to debut during this year’s Paris Motor Show in October.
