You’ll also notice that the orange colour is also used in different parts of the C3 like the front fog lamp surrounds, ORVMs, and on the lower part of the front doors. While Citroen hasn’t revealed the interior yet, previous spy shots reveal that the C3 will get a large touchscreen infotainment system and a 3-spoke multi-function steering wheel.
