Feature Comparison Across Variants
The three variants of the ë-C3X follow a clear progression in features and premium appeal. The base Live variant focuses on essential features and practicality. The Live (O) adds meaningful convenience with wireless connectivity, keyless entry, and extra safety functions. The Shine variant stands out with a more premium cabin, featuring leatherette upholstery, a leather steering wheel, a wireless charger, and a rear camera. While all variants share the same platform and driving experience, the higher variants deliver noticeably better comfort, technology, and overall refinement.
Key Highlights
Overall, the ë-C3X offers buyers a more upmarket alternative to the standard ë-C3 with improved styling, better interior quality, and a wider range of features across its variants.
